Transport Sector Faces Extreme Neglect, Says Federation Chairman

Kathmandu. Chairman of the National Federation of Transport Entrepreneurs Saroj Sitoula has said that the state has extremely neglected the transport sector. Speaking from the side of stakeholders at a meeting of the parliamentary Infrastructure Development Committee, Chairman Sitoula complained that the word 'transport' has been removed from the ministry's board and that the government has not built even the minimum infrastructure despite entrepreneurs investing millions.

Giving an example of how much the state neglects the transport sector, he said, 'The name of the ministry is the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, but when you go there and look at the board, only Infrastructure Development is written, the word transport is missing. It is a tragedy that the word transport does not fit in the Ministry of Transport.'
