The Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) is shocked by the tragic news of the untimely death of journalist Dinesh Sitaula at the age of 43 during treatment.

Sitaula, who was admitted to the Grande Hospital in Kathmandu by helicopter for treatment after fainting while reaching Achham while reporting on Magh 16, passed away on Sunday, Magh 18.

Sitaula, who was the outgoing president of the Federation's associate organization, the Film Journalists Association, was well-known in the field of film journalism. With his death, the Nepali journalism sector has lost a skilled, hardworking and combative young journalist, and the Federation has lost an active member.

The Federation pays heartfelt tribute to the late Sitaula and prays for the eternal peace of the departed soul. It also expresses its deepest condolences, wishing that the bereaved family members may find the strength to bear this loss in this hour of grief.
