Minister Khadak Raj Paudel Rejects Misinformation Regarding Ministry Meeting Protocols

Kathmandu. Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Khadak Raj Paudel (Ganesh) has expressed strong dissatisfaction over the misinformation circulating regarding the recent notice issued for meetings at the ministry. Sharing his views via Facebook, Minister Paudel alleged that vested interest groups are attempting to drag him into controversy after failing to lure him with inducements.

Commenting on the rumors as a natural process, he stated that he is well aware of the old tendency to create controversy after failing to offer bribes. Minister Paudel clarified that the ministry headquarters remains open to all citizens and that the notice issued a few days ago was misinterpreted.

He explained that the online system for scheduling meetings was introduced solely to make the process technology-friendly and that there is no ban on meeting through other means. 'Meeting times can be scheduled today, a few days in advance, or even just an hour before,' Minister Paudel said.

Stating that people can visit the ministry at any time to provide special advice, suggestions, or to voice urgent grievances, he also made his personal mobile number 9856031647 public. However, he reiterated his request for people not to visit the ministry solely for the purpose of offering congratulations, well-wishes, or to demonstrate proximity to the minister.

He also warned against turning efforts to improve work efficiency into unnecessary subjects of controversy.
