Kathmandu. After the employees revolted at the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) and Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) today, some of them have stopped picking up their mobile phones and some have switched off.
Employees in Sebon have intensified their agitation today demanding that the employees should be established as an autonomous body and the employees in NEPSE should be established as an autonomous body. SEBON is the regulator of the stock market while NEPSE is the market operator.
Employees of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) have padlocked the office and snatched the vehicle keys of the deputy director to the chairperson, demanding that it belong to an autonomous organization. According to the employee leader, after snatching the vehicle keys, the deputy director to the chairman have returned home calling their own vehicle or someone else’s vehicle.
Employees of the Securities Board have said that they are not satisfied with the Ministry of Finance’s decision to cut off their facilities. Recently, the Ministry of Finance had directed the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) to inform it if any decision has to be taken.
Similarly, the employees of NEPSE have also detained Chairman Hemanta Basyal and CEO Chudamani Chapagain in their office over the issue of allowances they are entitled to. NEPSE has been dissatisfied with the allowance (bonus) of its employees for a long time. The same issue has taken a violent form today.
