The Office of the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers confirmed that the provincial head has been notified of the decision to reduce the size of the council.

This move is in line with an agreement reached among the central ruling parties.

Earlier, Keshav Rai, Sharada Devi Thapa, and Ranju Kumari Mandal Khang had also been appointed as state ministers. Now, all eight have been relieved of their duties.
