Public trust of PSC should be upheld: Province Chief Bhatta

Lekhnath (Kaski), Mar. 25: Gandaki Province Chief Dilliraj Bhatta has said that the Gandaki Province Public Service Commission should uphold public trust while maintaining the quality of the examination system.

Inaugurating the third anniversary of the Provincial Public Service Commission, Gandaki Province on Sunday, the Province Chief suggested that the commission should maintain its dignity and continue its activities effectively under the provision of Nepal's constitution and existing laws.

Expressing gratitude to the Public Service Commission for maintaining its competence, fairness and credibility even to this day, he said, "The commission should move forward more effectively in the future as well. Political interference should not be allowed in the commission."     

Addressing the event,  Surendra Raj Pandey, Chief Minister of Gandaki Province Government, said that the commission is the only reliable institution of fairness, emphasising that the commission should carry out its work at a fast pace.

He said that due to the high number of educated persons in Nepal going abroad for employment, the Commission should conduct examinations to fill vacancies and create an environment for them to stay within the country.

He expressed his concern that the Nepali people fought for political change time and time again but political stability has not been achieved in the country. Chief Minister Pandey said that the political parties here must pay attention to how the country can be brought towards political stability and change in people's lives.

Former Chief Minister of Gandaki Province Khagraj Adhikari said that the fairness, confidentiality and public trust of the Public Service Commission should not be allowed to be broken. He emphasised that the Public Service is the permanent government of the country, it should maintain its dignity and increase its effectiveness further in the days to come.

Similarly, addressing the event, Pokhara High Court Chief Justice Rajan Prasad Bhattarai expressed his happiness that the commission has maintained its impartiality and competence since its inception and emphasised that the commission should maintain its effectiveness and public trust in the days to come.
