The government has appointed Koshhari Niraula as the Director General of the Immigration Department on Tuesday.

The Home Ministry on Tuesday appointed Joint General Secretary Niraula as the Director General of the Immigration Department.

Niraula was appointed as the Director General of the Department of Immigration after the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority filed a corruption case against then Director General Rudra Singh Tamang.

The anti-corruption watchdog filed a case at the Special Court saying that he committed corruption while he was the board member of the Melamchi Drinking Water Development Committee.

The Home Ministry has also transferred chief district officers and other employees in various districts today itself.
