Prime Minister Sushil Koirala shifted to the PM's official residence in Baluwatar from his rented house in Maharajgunj on Thursday morning.

Koirala's personal aide Laxman Dhakal informed that Koirala will stay in the official residence from today. An astrologer had advised the newly-elected PM to move into the residence at the auspicious hour of 10:40 this morning.

Koirala, also the President of Nepali Congress, was elected as the country's 37th prime minister on February 10.

Koirala was living in a rented house in Maharajgunj. The house was previously used by late NC President Girija Prasad Koirala.
