WALING, March 24: Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said the local governments should be accountable and transparent in order to address the people's aspirations. PM Deuba said it while inaugurating the newly-constructed building of Chapakot Municipality at Suntalinagar here today. 


Local governments are the closest government to the people, PM Deuba said, adding that their activities should therefore be transparent. "Make your activities transparent and win the people's hearts," he urged the local government during the programme.


He underscored that the local level election would be held on time and in a free and fair manner. According to him, all sides' cooperation is imperative to promote Chapakot as a significant destination from tourism and religious viewpoints.
