Kathmandu, July 20 (RSS): Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has proposed a comprehensive plan for the overall development of the Tarai.
Talking to Rastriya Janata Party leaders at his official residence in Baluwatar this evening, Prime Minister Oli made a proposal to come up with an integrated plan for the development of the tarai including embankments, industries and concrete steps to preserve the Chure region. He also stressed on changing people’s mentality for the development of Tarai, according to the PM’s press coordinator Chetan Adhikari.
“We need to free the Tarai people from social anomalies, including the low literacy rate despite remaining a comparatively accessible region,” the PM said while adding, “Lets develop and implement a plan politically to resolve all such problems.” He also told the RJP leaders that the government was planning to establish integrated settlements in the Tarai.
On the occasion, RJP leader Mahantha Thakur submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister, calling for addressing problems of floods in the Tarai, the cases concerned with the Madhesh movement and of the injured, and report of commissions formed to investigate the Madhesh and Tharu movements, and on amendment of the Constitution.
Receiving the memo, Prime Minister Oli said some of the demands raised by the RJP have already become irrelevant in the present context and that it needs to be reconsidered. On queries from the leaders about Constitution amendment, the Prime Minister said the Constitution can be amended based on need and rationale. “Let’s discuss on the shortcomings in the Constitution, but let’s not stick to it only. Let us all work together to develop the country,” the Prime Minister said.
Present on the occasion were RJP leaders Thakur, Rajendra Mahato, Sharat Singh Bhandari, Mahendra Raya Yadav, Raj Kishore Yadav and Keshav Jha.
