धन्यवाद म्याडम : झापामा चुनाव चुस्त - दुरुस्त हिसाबले सम्पन्न गर्नुभएकोमा।
निर्वाचनको पूर्वसन्ध्यामा एसपी बसुन्धरा खड्कालाई झापा जिल्लाको प्रहरी प्रमुखको जिम्मेवारी सुम्पियो। झापा जस्तो संवेदनशील जिल्लामा शान्तिपूर्ण र सुरक्षित वातावरणमा निर्वाचन गराउनु उनका लागि एउटा ठूलो चुनौती र अवसर दुवै थियो।
विशेषगरी बालेन शाह र केपी शर्मा ओली बीचको राजनीतिक टकरावका कारण झापा देशभरिकै चासोको केन्द्र बनेको थियो। यस्तो तनावपूर्ण र प्रतिष्पर्धात्मक माहौलमा पनि एसपी खड्काले आफ्नो कुशल रणनीति र कमाण्डमार्फत सुरक्षा व्यवस्थालाई चुस्त राख्न सफल भइन्।
उनको प्रभावकारी नेतृत्वकै कारण झापामा निर्वाचन मात्र शानदार ढंगले सम्पन्न भएन, बरु सोही निर्वाचनको परिणाम स्वरूप देशले नयाँ प्रधानमन्त्री समेत प्राप्त गर्यो। खड्काको कार्यदक्षताले उनलाई एक सफल कमाण्डरका रूपमा स्थापित गरिदियो। Photo Credit : IIMS College
