As he said, most laws regarding exclusive powers granted by the Constitution to the provinces have been enacted. However, some laws relating to the concurrent powers of the federal and provincial governments are still awaited. The matters are yet to be materialized due to a delay in the formulation of such laws at the federal-level, according to him.
Describing the Constitution as a political document to institutionalize the federal democratic republic of Nepal, the Chief Minister highlighted the roles of a three-tier government to properly implement it.
The Bagmati Province government is observing Constitution Day for three days beginning today. The major celebrations will take place on September 20, in commemoration of the promulgation of the Constitution through the historic Constituent Assembly on Asoj 3, 2072 BS (September 20, 2015).
