PM Oli receives Dashain 'tika'

Kathmandu: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli received the Bijaya Dashami tika and jamara from his father Mohan Prasad Oli at the auspicious time of 11.36 am on the occasion of the Bada Dashain festival today.

On the occasion, PM Oli gave tika and jamara to his spouse Radhika Shakya and members of his family, according to the Prime Minister's Secretariat.

This time, Prime Minister Oli will not be offering tika and jamara to the general public due to the adverse situation in the country in the aftermath of natural disasters like flooding, landslide and inundation triggered by incessant rains on September 27 and 28, the PM Secretariat said.
