Saying that Educational Fair was scheduled prior to the announcement of results of final examinations of different grades, the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has ordered to stop such fair that started on Thursday at Bhrikutimandap in Kathmandu. The KMC has removed the stalls of the fair arguing that this was an 'inappropriate time' to run the fair. Officials of the Education Department of the KMC and City Police jointly removed the stalls.
Chief of Education Department of the KMC, Sitaram Koirala, said that the KMC stopped the fair since it was organized to lure the students ahead of the results of the SEE and grade 12. Koriala said that the fair stalls were removed because it was a move to entice the students and parents in the name of the fair ahead of the results announcement. More than 75 stalls of the private colleges were kept in the fair planning to wrap up on June 18.
