A day after the press carried the news about the announcement by the Tourism Minister to sell the Royal Nepal Airlines (RNAC) for 1.5 billion rupees, the Ministry issued a press statement saying the Minister had only implied that he would give out the management of RNAC in contract and did not intend to sell it altogether.
“The Minister had said that he was willing to give the management of RNAC in contract,” a press statement said.
When giving out the management on contract, not even a single worker will be relieved of duty and none of the assets will be sold, the Ministry has stated. It has also requested the people not to believe such misleading news.
The Ministers in the Chand government have been repeatedly refuting the news carried by the press.
