Kathmandu, April 15

Finance Minister Yuba Raj Khatiwa has said he has not visited Sun City Apartments, where two residents have been found to be infected with the coronavirus, in Kathmandu.

Khatiwada’s son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter also live on an apartment there and some media had reported that Khatiwada attended a function there a few weeks back.

But, the minister’s press coordinator Yaman Paudel has clarified that he has not visited any place except the Finance Ministry and the office of the high-level coronavirus control committee in Singhadarbar and the prime minister’s residence in Baluwatar from his residence in Pulchok.

Paudel claims Khatiwada has diabetes and some heart problem also, hence he has been cautious about any infection even before the current crisis.

“At other times also, he used to leave events hosted at five-star hotels after his address without drinking even a cut of tea,” Paudel says.
