KATHMANDU, Dec 5: Dr Tosima Karki has resigned from the post of member of the Nepal Medical Council (NMC) . After being elected as a member to the House of Representatives, Dr Karki went to the NMC on Sunday and submitted her resignation.

She was elected from Lalitpur Constituency No. 3 from the Rastriya Swatantra Party in the election to the members of the House of Representatives held on November 20.
