KATHMANDU, Aug 14: The Madheshi Commission submitted its sixth annual report to President Ram Chandra Paudel on Wednesday. In the report, the Commission recommended reviewing the reservation policy and listing Sakhadeshwari Bhagwati on the World Heritage List.
The report, presented by the Chairperson of the Commission, Dr. Bijay Kumar Dutta, includes recommendations to advance the process of reviewing the reservation policy to integrate marginalized communities of Madhesh into the mainstream state structures.
