Karuna Devi Smarak Guthi to publish “Sharad Chettri Smritigranth”

GANGTOK, 16 May: Karuna Devi Smarak Darmarth Guthi has announced the publication of ‘Sharad Chettri Smritigranth’, its homage to the oeuvre of respected Nepali litterateur, the late Sharad Chettri.
A press communiqué issued by Rajiva Shanker Shresta of Karuna Devi Smarak Darmarth Guthi informs that the book is slated for release on 20 June, the late writer’s 66th birth anniversary. The book, he informs, is a compilation of well researched papers of the late Chettri’s works and will also include some of his unpublished writings along with photographs.
The passing away of the writer was an irreparable loss to the Nepali literary world and the society, the Guthi states, while adding: “We do sincerely believe that such a work dedicated would not only give solace to the bereaved family but would also be our befitting tribute to the departed soul in the true sense. We are grateful and humbled with the kind gesture of literary stalwart like Sri Indra Bahadur Rai along with many others including the news-papers and periodicals without which it would not have been possible for us to accomplish this great task.”
Mr. Shrestha adds that the publication will be a limited edition release and has invited queries at karunaguthisikkim@gmail.com / 9434022677
