Speaking at the sit-in program, Prabhat Shah, vice president of the Nepal Government Employees Organization, said that the government had ignored the demand for the immediate implementation of the Federal Civil Service Act, so they were forced to protest.
He stated that they had symbolically protested demanding the issuance of the Federal Civil Service Act, Provincial Civil Service Act, and Local Civil Service Act and said, “After the country adopted federalism, everyone got their own laws, but the laws for the Civil Service, known as the permanent government, could not be enacted.”
The civil servants have been protesting for the past some time demanding the implementation of the Federal Civil Service Act.
