Kathmandu, May 10 (RSS): Minister for law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Sher Bahadur Tamang has said that the legal sector has insufficient human resource.
At a programme organised by Lawyers National Campaign for the Elimination of Caste Discrimination (LANCAU Nepal) on the occasion of Law Day here on Wednesday, Minister Tamang said, “The legal sector lacks human resources as legal volunteers have to be deployed in villages.”
He said there was no alternative to moving ahead by formulating act for legal aid, adding that 19 higher secondary schools across the country have acquired permission to teach law subject in plus 2 level.
Similarly, Nepal Bar Association President Sher Bahadur KC said that although there are 17,000 legal practitioners across the nation, it is not sufficient.
He also expressed commitment that the NBA would move ahead joining hands with LANCAU Nepal to ensure legal aid service, saying legal aid is required in every village.
