Nepal is lagging behind in development and it is the matter of joy for them to get engaged in development works, he further said, expressing hope that it will change their perspective to see the Nepal Army and Armed Police Force.
‘With this we want to dedicate ourselves for development revolution in the country and will bring about great change in the country within 10 years if everything remains favorable’, he asserted.
