The Democratic Tourism Society and other employees have agreed to lift the ten-day long lock out at the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) on Wednesday.

The office reopened after the agitators and the NTB management reached into an agreement to investigate their demands.

The agitators are demanding the resignation of NTB’s chief executive officer (CEO) Tek Bahadur Dangi.

Reports said lock out was lifted after a meeting held at the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation in the presence of joint secretary Shanker Koirala.

The Democratic Tourism Society and junior employees of NTB had locked up the office of the NTB, demanding resignation of its CEO Dangi, accusing him of supporting the royal regime and not working for revival of the ailing tourism industry.

Dangi refuted such allegations and said a “vested interest” group was behind the latest protests.
