Kathmandu- Sitaram Koirala, head of the education department of Kathmandu Metropolitan City, has been suspended for a week for violating the jurisdiction of the mayor.

Mayor Balendra Shah suspended him for a week after Koirala himself made the decision that should be made by the education committee of the metropolis, informed Naveen Manandhar, spokesperson of the metropolis.

The meeting of the Education Committee is chaired by the Mayor. However, it is said that Koirala himself decided to give permission to teach science faculty in classes 11 and 12 for Ratnarajya High School in Mid baneshwar.

The school has started science faculty in class 11 from this year. Ramashish Yadav, principal of the school, said that currently 30 students are enrolled in class 11 in this faculty.
