In a bold move, Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah has instructed universities and health institutions to dismantle student and employee unions aligned with political parties.

During an extensive meeting with vice chancellors and health institute leaders, Shah emphasized the need to eliminate political influence in these sectors, arguing its irrelevance in today's context.
