Security Heightened Around Former PM Oli's Residence Following Cabinet Decision on Karki Commission Report

Kathmandu. Following the first cabinet meeting led by newly appointed Prime Minister Balen Shah's decision to implement the report of the Gauri Bahadur Karki Commission, the security arrangement in the Kathmandu Valley has been significantly tightened. Considering the potential security challenges arising from this government decision, security surveillance has been increased in the Gunduk area, where the residence of CPN-UML Chairman and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is located, and security agencies have been placed on 'high alert'.

According to high-level security sources, although serious discussions took place within the police regarding the arrest of Oli and Ramesh Lekhak, no concrete conclusion has been reached yet. Nevertheless, the security alertness and surveillance around Oli's residence in Gunduk have been significantly increased.

A high-level meeting is currently underway at the official residence of Armed Police Force Inspector General Raju Aryal in Naxal, involving Home Minister Gurung, Inspector General of Nepal Police (IGP) Dan Bahadur Karki, and Armed Police Force Inspector General Aryal, among others.

Earlier on Friday evening, both the Nepal Police and the Armed Police Force had already issued internal circulars to their subordinate units, directing them to remain on 'high alert'. All security units in the valley have been kept in a state of readiness for any situation.

The first cabinet meeting led by Prime Minister Balen Shah on Friday had decided to implement the report of the commission formed under the leadership of Gauri Bahadur Karki to investigate the incidents that occurred during the Gen-Z movement.
