Protestors Burn Effigy Of Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli Against Decision To Depose Chief Of Electricity Authority

Nepali protestors burn the effigy of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli against his decision to depose Kul Man Ghising in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 25, 2025. Following the government's decision to appoint Hitendra Dev Shakya, protests erupt in Nepal. Shakya previously leads NEA but is replaced by Kulman Ghising. His legal battle challenging this removal remains unresolved, with his petition pending before the Supreme Court for years. Despite attending 31 hearings, a verdict is never reached, and his four-year term expires while awaiting a decision. Now, backed by the ruling alliance of Nepali Congress and CPN-UML, Shakya returns to the top position at NEA. Shakya's reappointment comes amid public outrage over Ghising's dismissal. The move draws criticism, with concerns that political interests take precedence over institutional stability. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
