Government has put the Chinese aided Bhaktapur Brick Factory (BBF) on sale, a public notification said.

Minister for Industry Mahesh Lal Pradhan attempted briefly to give the Factory a reprieve by resurrecting it to the ire of Finance Minister Dr. Badri Prasad Shrestha last year when the government had announced the ailing industry would be privatized.

The Privatization Cell of the Finance Ministry, in a notification dated March 28, has asked for proposals from bidders to buy the all assets of the industry including machines, lease of the land and factory buildings for 10 years. nepalnews.com br April 2
