Karnali Province Assembly’s budget session prorogued
On the occasion, CPN-UML Karnali Province Assembly party leader Yamlal Kandel said the province assembly members should be informed of the number of government projects and programs across the province. “Karnali has witnessed a nurtured culture of how to eat up revenues rather than utilizing them for province development.

Likewise, provincial assembly member of CPN (Unified Socialist) Devi Oli underlined the need to make a serious review of the development of the province and ensure implementation of the constitution.
