Kathmandu, April 24
The private sector has drawn the attention of the government on the impact of Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown on the country’s economy.
It has urged the government to provide 50 per cent of the money they need to pay the workers as a grant.
The office-bearers of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI), and Nepal Chamber of Commerce (NCC) held discussions with the government’s Chief Secretary Lok Darshan Regmi to that connection on Thursday.
During the meeting, the private sector representatives urged the government to rescue the industry, commerce, and business sectors from the adverse impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Industries and factories in the country are on the verge of closure due to the lockdown. The supply system has also been hit hard and the national economy is also dented in such a situation,” the office-bearers of the country’s three big chambers of commerce and industry reported to the chief secretary, urging the government to create an environment for reviving the economy.
