“As the country has already adopted federalism, there should not be any kind of dilly-dallying in providing banking facilities to the people of every local level,” added Khatiwada.

Another speaker Deputy Governor of NRB Chintamani Shiwakoti instructed all the banks and financial institutions to strictly follow the instructions of NRB. He also warned of taking stern action against those banks that breach the law.
