A top minister in Nepal has revealed that a government panel has started looking into the details of assets and properties of the deposed King Gyanendra, two days after the monarchy in Nepal was abolished. The nation’s media has reported that the Narayanhity royal palace has a rich collection of rare art works, valuable jewellery, coins, statues and historical documents. The former monarch has been given a notice of two weeks to vacate the palace.
Ram Chandra Poudel, peace and Reconstruction minister remarked that no one really knows that what items are there in the palace as it was so far closed for the general public. Hence they have formed a committee to collect the details of all these within ten days. The minister further added that all the items will be catalogued so that they can be displayed into the museum.
The government has plans to convert the Narayanhity royal palace, located in the heart of Kathmandu into a museum. The government of Nepal has already taken over the ownership of thousands of hectares of land owned by Gyanendra and more than a dozen of his palaces since the monarch was humbled by weeks of protests in 2006.
