The Agriculture Development Bank (ADB) has reminded Local Development Minister Tanka Dhakal about the debt he has to pay to the bank, a newspaper report said on Thursday.

The ADB had placed minister Dhakal on its defaulters’ list for not repaying the debts he owes to the ADB.

According to the Kathmandu Post, the bank recently sent an official letter to Dhakal who has not even bothered to contact the bank or pay interest on the principal sum of Rs 900,000 for the last two years, according to a bank source.

Dhakal had taken the loan in 1997 from Inaruwa and Bhojpur branches of the bank.
