Investigation Committee Formed After Chinese President Xi Jinping's Book Allegedly Burned at Technical University

An investigation committee has been formed to probe the incident where Chinese President Xi Jinping's book, 'The Governance of China,' was allegedly burned at Manmohan Technical University.

Following the directive of the Ministry of Home Affairs, a five-member investigation committee has been formed under the coordination of Morang's Assistant Chief District Officer, Saroj Koirala.

The committee includes a DSP from the District Police Office Morang, a representative from the Provincial Ministry of Internal Affairs and Law, a representative from the Office of the Government Attorney, and a representative from the Education Unit.

Morang's Chief District Officer, Yuvraj Kattel, informed that the committee has been given a deadline of 15 days to investigate the incident and submit a report. He stated that the committee began its work today and that all details will be known after the committee submits its report.

After a video surfaced showing some copies of the book being burned during a cleanup, the Chinese Embassy expressed concern and formally drew the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through a written note. The Ministry subsequently showed interest in the matter.

Meanwhile, Manmohan Technical University has expressed serious concern over the pictures and information circulating on social media linking the incident to their institution.

The university issued a press release clarifying that some materials were managed while vacating old workshops to establish new labs under the Civil Engineering Department of the School of Engineering.

The university stated that only some books that had not been in use for a long time, were in scrap condition, completely rotten, or infested with termites were destroyed during the cleaning process.
