Kathmandu, June 5 (RSS): The CPN (Unified Socialist)'s secretariat meeting decided to assign the top leaders in the party to shuffle its ministers in the cabinet.

The party, one among the five coalition partners, currently has five ministers in the cabinet including one State Minister. They are Minister for Health and Population Birodh Khatiwada, Minister for Labour, Employment and Social Security Krishna Kumar Shrestha, Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Prem Bahadur Ale, Minister for Urban Development Ram Kumari Jhakri and State Minister for Health and Population Bhawani Khapung.

Furthermore, the party stressed spreading awareness on environment conservation and urged one and all to work for the cause of the environment.
