Govt to form 41 new municipalities within 100 days

Local Development Minister Purna Kumar Sherma has said the government will form 41 additional municipalities.

Speaking at an interaction programme organized in the capital Friday, he said final preparations are underway to announce the additional municipalities within 100 days.

Stating the need of municipality election to resolve the permanent problem seen in the local sector of Nepal, Minister Sherma stated that the effectiveness and strength in local sectors are impossible without election.

"As soon as the political mechanisms will be formed, the new tasks in regard will be initiated", he said.

Municipality election in local level is impossible without political consensus and writing the constitution in time, he added. He further urged all parties for consensus to end the existing political deadlock. nepalnews.com ss Jul 03 09
