Nepal's Armed Police Force (APF) and Nepal Police personnel stand guard outside the head office of the Nepal Electricity Authority as a protest erupts in Nepal against Deepak Khadka, Minister of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, and the government following the deposition of Nepal Electricity Authority Chief Kulman Ghising in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 25, 2025. A meeting of the Council of Ministers on March 24, 2025, sacks the incumbent Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority, Kulman Ghising, from the post. Ghising, who is regarded as the person to end 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)
