Kathmandu: Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel resumed his regular duties at the Ministry of Finance on Sunday after recovering from injuries sustained in a balloon explosion earlier this month.
Paudel was injured on February 15 during the official launch event of ‘Pokhara Visit Year 2025,’ organized by Pokhara Metropolitan City. He was immediately admitted to Kirtipur-based Burn Hospital, where he received intensive care for two days before being discharged.
Following his discharge, the minister had been handling only essential tasks from his residence. With his return to office, he is now back to full-fledged ministerial responsibilities.
