Kathmandu, May 13
The standing committee meeting of the ruling Nepal Communist Party has been postponed once again as one of 83 persons who had tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday was reported to be a bodyguard of the committee member Bhim Rawal.
The 27-year-old Armed Police Force staffer, residing in Duwakot in Bhaktapur district, had remained Rawal’s bodyguard for the past many years. He, however, was living in his own house for the past month. But still, the meeting got postponed to be on the safe side, according to a leader.
Earlier, the meeting was scheduled to begin at the party’s central office in Dhumbarahi of Kathmandu at 11 am today. The next date for the meeting has not been confirmed yet.
The meeting previously scheduled for last week was postponed indefinitely at the last hour then also.
Meanwhile, another Covid-19 patient confirmed in Bhaktapur yesterday is said to be a resident of Madhyapur Thimi municipality-9. She had come to Bhaktapur from Sunsari on a motorbike, just two days ago.
The district’s Chief District Officer Hum Kala Pandey says both the localities have sealed to control the infection spread now.
