Sudurpashchim Province Budget Includes Small Projects Despite CM's Pledge

Dhangadhi. Before presenting the budget, Sudurpashchim Province Chief Minister Kamal Bahadur Shah had said, 'The provincial government will no longer scatter the budget on small and fragmented projects.' He had pledged not to include projects costing less than at least 2.5 million rupees in the budget and to focus only on large projects for the development of the province.

However, the project and program list published by the provincial government for the upcoming financial year (2083/084) contains projects contrary to the Chief Minister's commitments.
