He is scheduled to arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport on a Thai Airways flight at 12:25 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Nepali Congress leaders and supporters close to Deuba have made preparations to welcome him in large numbers at the airport. Supporters have been asked to gather around the main entrance to Tribhuvan International Airport, the Tilganga area and other nearby locations. Preparations have also been made to receive him with traditional music.<\/p>\n<p>Deuba left for Singapore on Falgun 13 for medical treatment. He had been injured during an attack at his Budhanilkantha residence during the Gen Z movement on Bhadra 24 last year. After receiving initial treatment in Nepal, he travelled abroad for further medical examination and care.<\/p>\n<p>Following treatment in Singapore, Deuba travelled to Hong Kong with his wife, Arzu Rana Deuba. In the latest phase of his journey, he travelled from Hong Kong to Bangkok before his return to Nepal.<\/p>\n<p>Deuba had earlier informed the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority and other concerned agencies through letters that he would return to Nepal within the Nepali month of Shrawan.<\/p>\n<p>His wife, Arzu Rana Deuba, and son, Jayveer Deuba, are not expected to return to Nepal with him at this time.<\/p>\n<p>Deuba\u2019s return is being closely watched amid intensified internal political activity within the Nepali Congress. His arrival comes as a faction aligned with him prepares to hold a national gathering in Kathmandu.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=22539\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media Correspondent Former Nepali Congress President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba is returning to Nepal today, Thursday, after spending nearly five months abroad.
