Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai reached his home district Gorkha on Friday to meet party workers and to assess the development programmes in the district.

PM Bhattarai left for Gorkha at 7 in the morning on his much-talked official vehicle, the Nepal-assembled Mustang jeep, with normal security escort, officials at his private secretariat told Nepalnews.

He first reached at Palungtar where he was received by locals and party workers. He had an interaction with the locals about the development projects in the area.

His party, the UCPN (Maoist), had organised a week-long central plenum at Palungtar few months earlier.

Bhattarai also inaugurated a drinking water project at Khoplang village in the afternoon. He is scheduled to visit few other places in the district to interact with the local people. He will return to the capital on Saturday.

Immediately after getting elected as Constituent Assembly member, Bhattarai had announced that he would be visiting the district at least once a month and he has fulfilled his promise so far. nepalnews.com
