Sabita Bhandari Appointed First Female Attorney General of Nepal

Nepal has a new Attorney General!

Her name is Sabita Bhandari, and she's the first woman to hold this important job.

President Ramchandra Paudel chose her for the role, based on a recommendation from the Interim Prime Minister.

Before this, she was a commissioner of National Information Commission.

The previous Attorney General, Ramesh Badal, resigned, which is typical when the government changes.

This means Ms. Bhandari will be responsible for giving legal advice to the government.
