KATHMANDU: Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dev Raj Ghimire, visited the ongoing photo exhibition at the Nepal Art Council, Babarmahal, on Wednesday.

The exhibition, showcasing five decades of cooperation between Nepal and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in the energy sector, was inaugurated by State Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Purna Bahadur Tamang, on Tuesday.
