Revoke of UTL's writ paves way for information highway
Kathmandu, Feb 7: Way has opened for construction of the information highway with the repeal of all the writs registered by United Telecom Limited (UTL). The joint bench comprising Justices Prakash Man Singh Raut and Abdul Aziz Musalman on Tuesday had annulled the UTL's writ, citing the claims made in the writ could not be sustained.The UTL had lodged a writ at the Supreme Court after the Nepal Telecommunication Authority refused to renew the contract awarded to UTL for installing the optical fibre following the termination of the project period.With the latest court order in this connection, the way has opened for NTA to revoke the UTL's license. The UTL, through Tele Infra Nepal, on 5 May 2019, filed a writ challenging NTA's decision to cancel the contract of the project for laying optical fibre along the Mid-hills Highway and revoke the license also in case of failure to pay the dues.NTA had signed an agreement with UTL on 27 April 2017 for expanding optical fibre in Gandaki and Lumbini provinces with a grant of Rs 2.01 billion from the Rural Telecommunications Development Fund.As per the agreement, UTL was supposed to construct the telecommunications infrastructures along the Mid-hills Highway from Aarughat of Gorkha to Burtibang of Baglung and in 21 districts of the Gandaki and Lumbini provinces until 27 April 2019. However, UTL could not carry out the required works until the deadline.The government had, in its budget for the fiscal year 2078-79 BS, stated that the information highway would be developed by laying the optical fibre within two years. A meeting of the Council of Ministers on 15 February 2022 decided to cancel the agreement with UTL after no construction works of the project were done within the deadline. (RSS)
Political parties are lax in implementation of constitutional provisions: Leader Gautam
Kathmandu, Feb 7: Parliamentarian Bamdev Gautam commented that although the constitution stipulated provisions regarding what kind of society we want to build through the competition of a multiparty system, the government and the political parties were lax in its implementation. Gautam claimed that none of the Prime Ministers so far had presented the framework for establishing socialism in the country through the system of multiparty competition.In the special hour of today's meeting of the National Assembly, parliamentarian Gautam expressed that the money received from foreign employment should be spent on the country's development and the government should offer at least 10 per cent interest for that amount. He argued, "Money received from foreign employment is the blood and sweat of people. It is the asset of the government. Last year the country saw remittance inflow at Rs 22 billion while this figure could go up this year."He viewed, "The government should deposit the amount in some bank and offer them at least 10 per cent and spend that amount on the development of the country. The amount should be returned to the senders upon their return to Nepal."He spoke of the need to improve the country's weak economy and take forward country on the path of prosperity. "It is not necessary that those parties in the government should only assume responsibilities. Those parties outside of the government have also an equal role. We must contemplate on prospering the country."The leader blamed that none of the governments formed in the wake of the promulgation of the constitution made efforts to improve the country's economy.
