Koshi Province Government Faces Pressure to Present Budget Principles and Priorities Amidst Assembly Obstruction

Biratnagar. The Koshi Province government is under pressure to present the principles and priorities of the budget (pre-budget) in the Provincial Assembly 15 days before the budget is due, as per the law. However, the opposition party, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre), has continued to obstruct the Provincial Assembly since last Tuesday.

The opposition party has been obstructing the session due to dissatisfaction with the procedure adopted by Speaker Ambar Bahadur Bist during the passage of the policy and program. The meeting, which was postponed on May 29 and 30 due to the opposition's uproar and rostrum घेराउ, has been called for June 1.
