KATHMANDU, Oct 31: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has been discharged from the hospital on Thursday evening.

"Now, I am fine," the prime minister told reporters briefly on the premises of the hospital couple of minutes before heading towards his official residence Baluwatar after undergoing a two-day treatment at Tokha-based Grande Hospital. Oli underwent hemodialysis twice in this period.

Earlier today, the hospital administration stated that PM Oli was admitted to the hospital for routine health check-up. "The prime minister's  health condition is now normal," the hospital said.
