Kathmandu: Minister for Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation Prem Bahadur Ale has submitted his resignation to Chairman of CPN (Unified Socialist) Madhav Kumar Nepal.
Ale has already tendered his resignation, and he will hold a press conference later in the afternoon announcing his resignation, a source confirmed Nepal Live Today.
