As entrepreneurs call off strike‚ NTB resumes services

KATHMANDU: The Nepal Tourism Board resumed its service today, with the agitating tourism entrepreneurs calling off their 52-day long strike.

The NTB came back to life after the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) issued a directive to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation yesterday to resume its service within three days.

Also today, the Joint Tourism Coordination Committee that had been agitating against the alleged irregularities in the board called off its programmes of protest after fulfillment of its five-point demands.

It may be noted that the Government has formed two separate committees—one to probe into the alleged financial irregularities in the NTB and the other to look into ways for structural reform in the board.
