Kathmandu, March 1: Speaker Devraj Ghimire has directed the government to respond to the various issues that lawmakers have voiced in the meetings of the House of Representatives (HoR) in the lower house meeting on March 4.

The Speaker’s this directive comes after the main opposition among other parties demanded the government’s response on various contemporary issues during the HoR meeting today.

In the meeting, lawmakers Surya Bahadur Thapa Chhetri and Rajendra Lingden called attention of the government, citing that it failed to take initiatives for addressing the problems faced by the usury victims, the people suffering at the hand of microfinance and the problems of the dairy farmers.

Prior to this also the lawmakers had demanded that the government should come up with clear answers on issues such as the Balkumari incident and the demand for sacking government ministers accused of corruption. At the outset of the meeting, the opposition parties’ lawmakers protested, saying the government did not address the issues raised in the parliament before this. #Nepal
