Kathmandu, 12 August: As a part of his ongoing drive against the anomalies existing within the institution, Nepal Army (NA) chief Purna Chandra Thapa is preparing to take action against nearly three dozen army officers including some brigadier generals after they were found to have submitted forged academic credentials and changed their dates of birth to prolong their stay in office.
According to Republica daily, the army chief is preparing to take action against those officials anytime soon after a secret investigation over the last year showed that many officers had submitted fake academic credentials to secure promotions and some others had changed their dates of birth to prolong their terms.NA spokesman Bigyan Dev Pandey confirmed that the academic certificates and citizenship certificates of all army personnel are under investigation.
