Kathmandu, April 18
The main opposition party, Nepali Congress, on Saturday, demanded that the government form all-party mechanisms in each of the local units to monitor the distribution of relief materials to the needy during the lockdown imposed to control the coronavirus outbreak in the country.
The party’s officials held a meeting at the party president’s residence in Kathmandu on Saturday and concluded that the distribution process practised by the local governments is full of discrimination.
The meeting concluded that the needy did not have access to the relief materials distributed currently, demanding the government ensure the speedy distribution, the party’s spokesperson Bishwa Prakash Sharma informed the press after the meeting.
Meanwhile, the meeting also demanded that the government ensure that those leaving urban areas for their villages reach their destinations safely.
