KATHMANDU: National Human Rights Commission on Friday dispatched a letter to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, urging that immediate efforts be taken to save the life of Ganga Maya Adhikari who has been staging a hunger strike.
Adhikari of Fujel, Gorkha, launched a fast-unto-death at Bir Hospital on May 29, demanding the arrest of those guilty of her son Krishna Prasad’s murder during the Maoist insurgency on June 6, 2004. The NHRC has also urged the government to take action against the guilty as per the Supreme Court orders.
