UML ministers get more portfolios

Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal on Thursday gave additional portfolios to three UML ministers.

As per the new arrangement, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Bharat Mohan Adhikari will also oversee energy, irrigation, commerce and supply ministries while Defense Minister Bishnu Poudel will look after general administration, forest & soil conservation and environment ministries.

Likewise, Education Minister Gangalal Tuladhar has been given three more ministries - local development, science & technology and constitution assembly, parliamentary affairs & culture.

PM Khanal gave additional ministries to the UML ministers after the UML standing committee failed to finalise the names of the ministerial candidates despite holding two rounds of meetings in less than 24 hours. nepalnews.com
