In a condolence message, Shri Karra described Dr. Thapa as a committed and respected public servant known for his dedication, service to the people, and sincere public dealings. “He shall be remembered for his exemplary commitment and sacrifice for the nation. His loss is deeply felt by the administration and society at large,” Karra said while extending condolences to Dr. Thapa’s family and colleagues.
