Deliberations continue on state government budget

Kathmandu - Deliberations that began Wednesday on the budget of the Karnali state government for the fiscal year 2077/78 also continued on Thursday. Taking part in the budget deliberations of the Karnali state assembly on Thursday, chief whip of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NC) Karnali state assembly Gulab Jung Shah commented that the people's road programme was removed from the budget this year.

He drew the state government's attention towards constructing the houses of flood-affected people forced to stay under tent and addressing the woes of the people's representatives at local level. Likewise, whip Sita Kumari Nepali said the budget was said to be adequate for addressing the pandemic and unemployment however it will create suspicion when the budget amount in figure was missing.
