Kathmandu. The government has decided to give a public holiday on the day of Prithvi Jayanti on December 27. Cabinet sources said that the cabinet meeting held on Monday evening decided to give a public holiday on 27 poush 2079.
The ruling party, Raprapa, had been demanding that 27th poush be recognized as National Unity Day and declared as a public holiday. In the minimum common program of the power partner parties, there was a mention of public holiday on December 27. The minimum common program was approved by the cabinet meeting on Monday.
Gorkha king Prithvi Narayan Shah unified Nepal geographically. On the occasion of his birth anniversary, there was a practice of giving a public holiday in Nepal in the past, but after the people's movement of 2062/063, the holiday was stopped.
This year, RPP, an important component for government formation, had maintained the position of giving public holiday on 27th Poush to support the government and participate in the government. Which is accepted by the government.
