Kathmandu, Jan. 5 -- Despite reservation from the Nepali Congress-affiliated trade union, the government and the Official Trade Union (OTU) signed a nine-point agreement on Thursday to resolve the standoff regarding civil servant adjustment plan.
The deal has possibly paved the way for smooth adjustment of government staff at all three layers of the government.
The government's team, led by Secretary at the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration Dinesh Thapaliya, and the delegation of the Official Trade Union, headed by Punya Dhakal, were close to signing the agreement on Wednesday. But it was postponed for Thursday after the NC-affiliated Nepal Civil Service Employees' Union (NCSEU) refused to endorse the deal.
