Nepal, July 6 -- Political meetings have intensified following former President Bidya Devi Bhandari's announcement that she is returning to party politics.

Leaders from major parties including CPN-UML, CPN-Maoist Center, and others have increased their engagements with her. Former President Bhandari herself has been facilitating and participating in a growing number of political meetings.

Amid this renewed political activity, Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah also met with the former President. On Thursday afternoon, Shah spent nearly an hour with Bhandari, accompanied by a CPN-UML leader. The meeting was arranged by a local UML figure from Kathmandu, who also escorted Shah to Bhandari's residence in Bhaisepati.
