Lawmakers raises urgent issues during NA meeting

KATHMANDU: During today’s zero-hour session of the National Assembly, members of parliament drew the government’s attention to several pressing national issues.

MP Gomadevi Timilsina highlighted the deteriorating condition of the Narayanghat–Kathmandu road section. She said, “I traveled from Narayanghat to Kathmandu just yesterday. The road’s condition has worsened—six months ago it was fine, but now it is full of potholes. Earlier, it took five hours to reach Kathmandu, but now it is difficult even in eight hours. I urge the government to address this immediately.”

MP Narbahadur Bista questioned the government over recent developments concerning the ‘visit visa’ issue, demanding that Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak respond in the house.

MP Bhuvan Bahadur Sunar raised concerns over the School Education Bill, asking why it has not yet been presented to the Rastriya Sabha despite the government’s earlier assurance that it would be passed by mid-June.

Other MPs, including Suresh Kumar Ale Magar, Narayandatta Mishra, Madankumari Shah (Garima), and Rajendralaxmi Gaire, highlighted issues related to floods, landslides, inflation, and public safety, urging the government to take immediate action.
