The Kathmandu Metropolitan City employees have staged a protest on Thursday.

They staged the protest demanding that KMC Chief Administrative Officer Saroj Guragain be allowed to enter the office.

A large number of city police has been deployed to stop Chief Administrative Guragain from entering the office.

Guragain is under suspension. The metropolis relieved Guragain of his duty after he was found proceeding with the process of approving the map of Kathmandu Tower in the Old Bus Park in an illegal way.

The metropolis has been demanding the federal government to appoint a new chief administrative officer after Guragain was removed from his position.

Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah has been writing statuses on social media demanding that a new chief administrative officer be appointed at the earliest.

The agitated employees have warned that the metropolis will not function just by the statuses of Mayor Shah.

Metropolis employee Nara Bahadur Saud accused Mayor Shah of writing on social media instead of taking initiatives to resolve the problems of employees.

The employees have claimed that the ward chairpersons, members and Deputy Mayor are on their side.

They said that the salaries will be released if the chief administrative officer is allowed to enter the office today itself.

The employees are of the opinion that they are compelled to stage the protest after not receiving the salaries for a long time.

The work at the metropolis has come to a standstill after the suspension of the chief administrative officer.
