The decree for forest conservation was released under his tenure that made logging illegal which was signed by King Mahendra of Nepal on October 5, 1970.

[2][3] When the Democratic Government was dissolved by King Mahendra, he was nominated to the National Panchayat and made a Minister of Forests and Environment in 1968.

He was the heir of a landowning aristocracy that was in exile from Kathmandu for their involvement in the conspiracy to kill the then Prime Minister Ranodip Singh Kunwar and his brother Dhir Shumsher Rana in 1881 AD which is called "38 sal parwa".

Many have associated his family with the assassination of the revolutionary political figure Bhimdatta Panta due to their rivalry which quelled unrest in the Mahakali, Darchula region.

[12] Bhimdatta Panta was killed in Jogbudha forest and his head was hung in the market of Dadeldhura as a warning to any insurgents.
