The government has approved finance secretary Rameshwore Khanal's resignation.
A meeting of the Council of Ministers held Wednesday evening approved Khanal's resignation.
Khanal had resigned from his post on March 29, owing to differences with Finance Minister Bharat Mohan Adhikari.
The resignation of the seasoned bureaucrat came as a major embarrassment for the Maoist-UML government as it faced criticism from different quarters, not to mention the main opposition Nepali Congress.
Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal had to clarify in the parliament over the resignation episode after the NC obstructed the proceedings, alleging the government of putting undue pressure on the bureaucracy.
Meanwhile, today's cabinet meeting also decided to promote four joint secretaries to the post of secretary.
The joint secretaries getting promotion are: Hari Prasad Nepal, Shridhar Gautam, Som Lal Subedi and Jaya Mukunda Khanal.
Similarly, cabinet appointed Hari Govinda Luintel as the chairman of the Gorkhapatra Corporation.
The cabinet also condemned the attack on newly appointed energy minister Gokarna Bista by an unidentified gang on Monday. nepalnews.com
