Former Crown Prince Paras today left the country for Singapore to identify a good school to educate his three kids there.

Tribhuvan International Airport officials said Paras boarded a Silk Air flight, along with his close relatives.

The TIA officials said Paras entered the international terminal of the TIA at around 12:40 and stayed around 15 minutes at VVIP lounge. “Paras, who is bearing an ordinary passport (128845), followed the procedures as a commoner to reach the airstrip,” the TIA official said.
