NHRC offices to remain open during Dashain festival

The National Human Rights Commission has announced that its facilities across the country will maintain regular operations throughout the upcoming Dashain holiday period. This decision ensures that citizens can access vital services from the institution even while public holidays are observed nationwide. According to NHRC spokesperson Dr Tikaram Pokharel, the organisation's central office, provincial branches, and other regional outposts will remain accessible for specific administrative duties. The institutions will specifically focus on receiving grievances and monitoring situations involving rights violations that demand immediate intervention. To facilitate public access during the festive break, these offices will maintain operating hours from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm every single day. This schedule applies across the various administrative levels of the rights watch body throughout the country.
