Pokali-Likhu 9 Okhaldhunga-Sagarmatha-Nepal.

Balkrishna Dhungel is a well-known figure in Nepal, particularly in the fields of politics and activism. He is recognized for his involvement in the Maoist movement during Nepal's civil war, also known as the Maoist Insurgency (1996-2006). Dhungel was a prominent member of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), and during the conflict, he was involved in various activities that were part of the Maoist insurgency's efforts to overthrow the monarchy and establish a people's republic.

In 2010, Dhungel gained wider attention when he was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Supreme Court of Nepal for his role in the killing of a political opponent during the insurgency, which led to his controversial status within Nepalese politics. Despite his conviction, he has maintained a strong presence in Nepalese politics, and his case has been a subject of debate, especially regarding the accountability of leaders involved in the Maoist insurgency.

His life and political career have been a topic of discussion due to his role in Nepal's transformation from a monarchy to a federal democratic republic.
