KATHMANDU, Aug 27: Former justice at Supreme Court, Balaram KC has provided Rs. 25,000 to support Puja Khatri’s education.

Khatri, a resident of Myagdi-6 had written a painful letter to the school’s principal saying that she could no longer continue her studies because she couldn’t afford to buy school essentials and “go to school on an empty stomach.”
