Kathmandu: In today’s meeting of the House of Representatives, the MPs have emphasized that the government should be accountable to the parliament. Seeking time in the meeting, MP Amanlal Modi of the CPN (Maoist Centre) said, “We MPs will raise public issues in the House during zero hour and special time, but the government has not responded to the issues raised in Parliament. I had drawn the government’s attention to the poor condition of the Postal Highway, but the government has not taken it seriously.”
According to National News Agency Nepal, Nepali Congress MP Dr. Chandra Bhandari highlighted that the road from Ruru in Gulmi to the district headquarters Tamghas remains unimproved due to a lack of policy decisions. He emphasized the dangers posed by the road, especially during the rainy season, with increased risks of landslides and flooding exacerbated by the absence of bridges in key areas of Gulmi.
CPN (Maoist Centre) MP Ranendra Barali raised concerns over the recent death of Ajay Mahara, a youth from Siraha district. Barali stressed that it is the government’s responsibility to investigate the incident and bring the perpetrator to justice promptly.
In addition, Member of Parliament Prabhu Sah of the Aam Janata Party called for transparency in the activities occurring in the Gaushala area of Pashupati. Meanwhile, Krisna Kumar Shrestha of the CPN (Unified Socialist) brought attention to the prolonged delay in constructing a bridge over the Dudhara River on the Pathlaiya to Nijgadh road along the East-West Highway, a project stalled for approximately six years, causing significant inconvenience to local residents.
