Sharma shared that PM Dahal has asked to immediately study the status of Nepal's telecommunications sector, impact on FDI and the revenue collection of the government from the commercial deal of Ncell.
The Malaysian company 'Axiata Group Berhad' had decided to sell its 80 per cent of the shares to Spectrlite UK Limited, a company from the UK.
