KATHMANDU: The Ministry of Supplies has designated Director of Nepal Oil Corporation Sushil Bhattarai as the Executive Director of the Corporation.

The outgoing Executive Director Gopal Bahadur Khadka has been transferred to the Ministry, according to Supplies Secretary Krishna Prasad Devkota.

It may be noted that the Government had suspended Khadka on charges of irregularities but he returned to work following a Supreme Court order.

Khadka, who had re-joined the NOC after the apex court order, was deputed to the Ministry by a decision of Minister for Supplies Jayant Chand.
