A meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Gopal Man Shrestha on Monday decided to assign Kapri to manage Sajha Prakashan, said Dr Hari Prasad Lamsal, spokesman for the MoE.
“Kapri will handle both the posts until the next decision to appoint the chairperson and GM of the publication is taken,” he said.
The MoE sacked Sharma as the ministry was not convinced by the responses he submitted to the ministry regarding irregularities in the state-run publishing house. The Good Governance Committee of the Parliament also recommended action against Sharma on Sunday.
