Madhav Paudel, the planning officer of the Prime Minister's Agriculture Modernization Project, said that due to the non-cooperation of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration, no achievement has been made, and the technicians are going to protest again with a sit-in from today.
