Karnali warrants concerted efforts for its development: CM Kandel

Chief Minister of Karnali Province, Yamlal Kandel, has said Karnali is in dire need of cooperation from all sides so that it would realize development and prosperity.

During the Karnali Province Assembly meeting on Thursday, CM Kandel viewed people’s expectation and aspiration could be addressed through effective coordination and collaboration.

“I’ve come to the place that is obliged to respond to the queries. It is time to bring bills and sort out issues. All of us need to carry out our responsibilities and bring the budget that meets people’s needs and spur development activities,” he reminded, adding that budget should not be transferred from one sector to another as done in the past.

He shared that the policy, programmes and budget for the coming year will be centered on people’s concern and problems. The concept of balanced development will be reflected, CM Kandel said and sought positive roles from other members for budget preparation and planning.

“Time has come to prepare practicable development plans. We’ve been responsible to establish a development culture in Karnali,” he underscored.

Chief Whip of Nepali Congress Parliamentary Party in Karnali Province Assembly, Hikmat Bista, pledged to cooperate with government in its positive initiatives. The government will however be continuously watched against wrongdoing. He also wished a successful term to new CM Kandel.

Also extending best wishes to CM Kandel were Maoist Centre’s Chief Whip, Ransing Pariyar; Province member of CPN (Unified Socialist), Kalyani Khadka, and RPP Province member Santoshi Shahi.
