The exterior of the Nepal Electricity Authority in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 25, 2025, is shown the day after the government decides to depose the chief of the Nepal Electricity Authority, Kulman Ghising. The All Nepal National Free Students Union (ANNFSU- Unified Socialist) burns the effigy of Deepak Khadka, Minister of Energy, Water Resources, and Irrigation, protesting the deposition of Nepal Electricity Authority Chief Kulman Ghising. A meeting of the Council of Ministers on March 24, 2025, sacks the incumbent Executive Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority, Kulman Ghising, from the post.
