Government reaches eight-point deal with Dr KC on 27th day of his hunger strike

Both sides signed the agreement late on Saturday to address most of the demands of the agitating doctor.

The team negotiating on behalf of the fasting Dr Govinda KC had reached Singha Durbar at 9pm on Friday evening to hold conclusive talks with the government team, but the talks were over soon—without an agreement. Minister of Education Giriraj Mani Pokharel had apparently backtracked on the agreements reached the previous day.
