Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal

[3] Before its formation, the functions of the CAAN had been performed since 1957 by an agency within the Ministry of Work, Communications and Transport.On 31 December 1998, as a result of the Civil Aviation Act of 1996, the CAAN was established as an independent regulatory body.[5] However, as of September 2017, the Government of Nepal is trying to establish an independent aircraft accident investigation unit in order to comply with the International Civil Aviation Organization's regulations.The committee, which is formed after individual accidents is only temporary and often criticized for a lack of results.[6] There was a minor scandal in September and October 2017, when the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation transferred the director general of the agency, Sanjiv Gautam, to the ministry itself, which was considered an attempt of sacking him.
