Protestors Burn Effigy Of Nepal Minister Against Deposition Of Electricity Authority Chief

Nepal's Armed Police Force (APF) personnel stand guard outside the premises of the head office of the Nepal Electricity Authority as a protest erupts in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 25, 2025, against Deepak Khadka, Minister of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, and the government following the deposition of Nepal Electricity Authority Chief Kulman Ghising. A meeting of the Council of Ministers on March 24, 2025, sacks incumbent Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority, Kulman Ghising, from the post. Ghising, who is regarded as the person to put an end to power cuts in the Himalayan nation, is deposed from the post citing his poor performance. The cabinet instead appoints Hitendradev Shakya, the brother-in-law of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, as the successor of Ghising. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
