Janakpurdham, Apr 6: Chief Minister of Madhes Province, Saroj Kumar Yadav, has said success of federalism depends on how effective the coordination is between province and local levels.
Addressing an interaction programme on ‘coordination and cooperation among sub-national governments’ in Janakpurdham on Friday, CM Yadav even though constitution envisages a three-level government it has lacked mention on coordination between the provincial and local levels.
