However, the ministry’s Joint Secretary Nita Aryal said she is totally unaware about the operation of buses under Sajha Yatayat. She claimed that the ministry has neither corresponded with Sajha Yatayat nor Lumbini Development Trust regarding this issue.</p> <p>The trust has accused that Sajha Yatayat and BYD operated the bus in Kathmandu with the help of the prime minister without signing any agreement with the trust.</p> <p>Acting Member Secretary of the trust Saroj Bhattarai said the trust has not made any decision to give the buses to Sajha Yatayat. Though three buses are to be operated under the management of Sajha Yatayat until the airport comes into the operation, the trust had proposed to operate the buses on the route of Kathmandu- Lumbini, Pokhara-Lumbini and Narayangadh- Lumbini. The remaining two buses were to be operated around the Buddhist shrines around Lumbini.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-25', 'modified' => '2018-10-28', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9113', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2018-10-25 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 11 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9334', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Muktinath Bikas Bank Provides Printer', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 25: Muktinath Bikas Bank has provided one set of printer to the Junior Red Cross Club of Budhanilkantha School.', 'content' => '<p>October 25: Muktinath Bikas Bank has provided one set of printer to the Junior Red Cross Club of Budhanilkantha School.
