Kathmandu, July 6: A session of the National Assembly is underway.
In the today’s meeting, the respective ministers from various ministries are scheduled to respond concerns raised during the deliberations on the Appropriation Bill- 2083 BS.
Airing their views in a zero hour of the session, the upper house members drew the government’s attention towards the need to implement its resolution with the Dalit community, ensure road safety, control inflation, promote gender equality and women self-empowerment and enforce traffic rules strictly.
Padam Bahadur Pariyar expressed his concern over the ‘non-implementation’ of government’s announcement to apologize before the Dalit community for the long-existing systematic exclusion of the community and to bring and implement programmes of reforms.
Rukmini Koirala wanted the government to implement effective policies and programmes aimed at bridging the existing gender-gap, eliminating gender-based discrimination and labour exploitation, while Renu Chand raised concerns over a growing graph of road accidents. She urged the government to prioritise the road safety issue. #nepal #rss
