The party provided that amount to the family of former ward chairman and founding secretary of the Okhaldhunga Village Committee of the party, Ekraj Budhathoki.[break]
The party helped the family from the amount collected from party well-wishers as it was facing crisis after Budhathoki died from cardiac arrest on January 28 while working in the Upper Sagarmatha Bus Operators Association as a transport worker, said UML Publicity Department Chief Shankar Katwal.
UML District Chairman Yagyaraj Sunuwar handed over the amount to wife of Budhathoki, Omkumari.
She is living with one infant son and a daughter in a rented room in the district headquarters with the help of neighbors.
