March 29, Kathmandu – On Sunday, the District Court of Kathmandu directed authorities to ensure adequate medical care for former Prime Minister and UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli, who is in police custody. Since Saturday morning, Oli has been receiving treatment at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (Maharajgunj). The attending physicians report that his health condition is stable. A Holter monitor has been placed on him to continuously monitor heart irregularities.
