Speaking at the second quarterly review meeting of the fiscal year 2077/78 at the Ministry of Home Affairs on Wednesday, Minister Thapa viewed the investment in the security sector as linked to people's security and sovereignty. "The data showed that establishment of BOP on borders has reduced crime and contributed to increasing revenue. So, investment in security is important," he argued.

The Minister however directed the ministry employees to work effectively, thereby ensuring concrete result as the present progress was not enough. "Why did we fail to meet targets? The targets except the ones affected by Covid-19 should be reviewed and recklessness corrected," he stressed.
