Kathmandu, Sept 2 (RSS): Jananayak BP Koirala Memorial Trust is to present this year’s ‘Senani Samman Puraskar’ to Nepali Congress leader Chakra Prasad Bastola.
A committee led by Trust’s treasurer Puruswottam Basnet comprising its members Dr Dhruba Chandra Gautam and Sushil Man Sherchan unanimously recommended Bastola’s name for the award.
The award carrying Rs 50,000 in cash is to be provided to Bastola in recognition of his substantial contribution to the struggle for establishing democracy in Nepal.
Leader Bastola, who suffered brain hemorrhage some five years ago, has not come back to consciousness. Currently, he is being treated at home.
Likewise, the Trust has decided to confer this year’s ‘BP Literary Honour Award’ on literary figure Rochak Ghimire.
Both the awards will be handed over amidst a special function to be organized in Kathmandu on the occasion of BP birth anniversary.
