Lawmakers demand end of corruption

Kathmandu, July 23: Lawmakers from different political parties drew the government's attention to take concrete measures to end corruption.     

In the meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR) held today, Rajenendra Lingden said, "Time has come for launching probes into a dozen of ministers besides bureaucrats in relation to corruption.

Prabhu Shah drew government's attention that farmers were desperately waiting for irrigation, chemical fertilizers and electricity.     

"Where did the Education Bill vanish," Aman Lal Modi questioned.
