Passport Printing Probe: DG Aryal Claims Savings, Not Losses

In a significant turn in the ongoing passport printing controversy, Director-General Tirtharaj Aryal of the Passport Department has provided his statement to the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA). Aryal emphatically denies any financial losses during his tenure, asserting that the department actually achieved savings through the printing process. This declaration aims to address the allegations of impropriety and clarify the fiscal management under his leadership. For investors, such news, while not directly market-moving, can influence long-term confidence in government efficiency and transparency, subtly impacting overall economic sentiment. A perceived commitment to fiscal responsibility in public services generally bodes well for a stable investment climate.
