Source & verification
Existence/name/district-count sourcing note carried over from the original entry — see `koshi-province.md`'s note for that general approach. `leadership`, `officialWebsite`, `email`, `phone`, and `address` were added in Phase 14 Batch 7, this time sourced directly from the province's own official website (ocmcm.bagamati.gov.np), which is a stronger primary source than the Wikipedia-only sourcing used for Koshi Province's leadership in Batch 6 — directly fetched and confirmed live/current. Worth flagging specifically for Bagmati: Kathmandu (Nepal's national capital) sits within this province, but the *provincial* government's own capital is the separate city of Hetauda — easy to conflate, so stated explicitly here. `districts` was updated in Phase 14 Batch 5 to link the real `kathmandu-district.md` local-government entry, the reverse direction of that entry's own `parentProvince` field.
