Kathmandu, Nov 18: The government has made arrangement of a job for the spouse of journalist late Suresh Rajak.
A job to the post of computer operator at Security printing Centre has been made for Rajak’s wife Sujan Magiya at the initiative of Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Jagadish Kharel.
At a programme organised at the Communications Ministry today, Centre’s Executive Director Devraj Dhungana handed over the letter to Sujan Magiya about her appointment to the post of computer operator in presence of Minister Kharel and Secretary at the Ministry, Radhika Aryal.
Journalist Rajak had lost his life in fire when a building from where he was capturing the visual during the demonstration organised at Tinkune of Kathmandu on March 28, 2025 was torched.
On the occasion, Minister Kharel expressed the view that the state should play the role of guardian at a time when the journalists, who collect news keeping their lives at risk for the nation and people, are always in the state of insecurity.
“Journalist Suresh lost his life at a time when he had been fulfilling his responsibility as an active journalist keeping his life at risk. The ministry had been thinking to do something for Suresh and initiative for employment was taken in the context when the Federation of Nepali Journalists had been urging for the same. It is expected that this small initiative will somehow heal their pain,” opined Minister Kharel.
He further shared that a process has been forwarded to declare Suresh a martyr and expressed commitment to make arrangement of free higher education to the children of late Rajak.
Similarly, Purushottam Magiya, relative of Suresh, urged to bring the guilty of the incident under the ambit of law for the justice of Suresh, to declare Suresh martyr and to build Suresh’s statue at Tinkune.
