KATHMANDU: Bagamati State Chief Minister, Shalikram Jamkattel, has said the federal democratic republic system would not enhance until state structures were strengthened.
Talking to media after taking part in a sapling planting programme at Chitrepani Community Forest at Hetauda on the occasion of the Constitution Day, the Chief Minister insisted on strengthening and institutionalising state structures to progress towards socialism as envisaged by the Constitution.
He utilised the moment to claim that the state government is working as per the spirit of the Constitution.
As he said, most of laws regarding exclusive powers granted by the Constitution to the state have been enacted.
However, some laws relating to the concurrent powers of the federal and state are still awaited. The matters are yet to be materialised due to a delay in formulation of such laws at the federal-level, according to him.
Describing the Constitution as a political document to institutionalise federal democratic republic Nepal, the Chief Minister highlighted the roles of a three-tier government to properly implement it.
The Bagmati State government is observing the Constitution Day for three days beginning today.
The major celebrations will take place on Sept 20, in commemoration of the promulgation of the Constitution through the historic Constituent Assembly on Ashoj 3, 2072 BS (Sept 20, 2015).
