Furnish clarification within seven days: SC tells Mayor Shah

The Supreme Court has directed Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah to furnish written clarification on the contempt of court case within seven days. Earlier, the SC had issued a temporary interim order directing the KMC not to demolish the structures of Thapathali-based Norvic Hospital. Soon after the order, Mayor Shah said that the right to pass the map should also be given to the apex court by amending the Constitution.

A single bench of Justice Hari Krishna Karki had asked for clarification from Shah.
