According to Prakash Bhattarai, secretary of the Civil Service Union, the Nayab Subbas across the country have decided to go on leave tomorrow. “The employees conducted a ‘pen down’ program at Singha Durbar today. The gathering of Nayab Subbas in the hall of the Communications Ministry today decided to stay on leave tomorrow,” he said.
