KATHMANDU: Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota on Tuesday issued a ruling directing the government to provide  information about the whereabouts of Jaya Singh Dhami, who went missing in the Mahakali River after a member of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) of India allegedly dismantled an improvised cable crossing locally known as ‘tuin’.

Saying that the incident has also drawn his attention, Sapkota said that he issued the ruling to inform the House of Representatives about the issue.
