Rameshwor Prasad Khanal, Nepal’s new Finance Minister, began Day 1 with a principled stand—refusing salary perks, residence, car, and security. Sworn in by PM Sushila Karki, the former finance secretary is tasked with addressing youth unemployment and restoring public trust after protests shook the country this month.
On Day 3, Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal began work on an inquiry into protest deaths and coordinated security planning for the March elections. His ministry oversaw mourning ceremonies and compensation rollouts for families of those killed in the Gen Z protests.
Om Prakash Aryal, a human-rights lawyer known for high-profile public-interest cases, was sworn in today in Kathmandu to lead Nepal’s Home Ministry and (per several reports) Law, Justice & Parliamentary Affairs. His Day 1 brief: restore order while safeguarding rights as the interim cabinet prepares elections by March.
On Day 2 in office, Nepal’s Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal pledged to ensure free and timely elections on March 5, 2026, and announced an inquiry into security-force actions that killed 72 protesters. The interim cabinet continues to balance order and rights amid pressure for accountability.
Gen Z youth groups presented Prime Minister Sushila Karki with a 13-point mandate today, demanding justice for protest deaths, transparency in governance, and meaningful youth inclusion. The interim government has been asked to formalize these proposals into action as part of its reform commitment.
On Day 3, Energy Minister Kulman Ghising pressed industries to pay overdue electricity bills and began broader reforms at the Nepal Electricity Authority. His ministry followed up on the removal of the minister’s chamber at NEA headquarters ordered the previous day.
