On Tuesday, when Nepal's Minister for Land Reforms and Cooperatives Padma Aryal was asked whether Monday’s cabinet meeting had discussed reopening the country for tourists from October 17, as it had been decided at an earlier meeting, she said “no idea”.

“Could you please ask a secretary at the Prime Minister’s Office? He could help you out about the cabinet decisions,” said Aryal.

Two weeks ago, when Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, through a Cabinet decision, decided to recommend former finance minister Yubaraj Khatiwada and outgoing chief secretary Lok Darshan Regmi to ambassadorial positions and elevate foreign secretary Shankar Das Bairagi to chief secretary, ministers came to know about it later.
