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. It has weakened federalism, he argued.

There is no option but to ensure robust coordination between the local and provincial governments to reinforce federalism.

He further viewed federalism is essential more for Madhes, as it has empowered people in Madhes.

On the occasion, Chief Attorney of Madhes Province, Birendra Kumar Thakur, presented a working paper on the situation and challenges of law enforcement enacted by the Madhes government.

Programme Director of Nepal Law Society Mohan Lal Acharya presented a working paper on the state of coordination between the provinces and local levels.

Representatives from local levels and other stakeholders were present in the programme.

The event was jointly organized by the Office of the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers, Madhes Province and the Nepal Law Society. #nepal #madhes
