On the last lap



The Himalayan Times
16 September 2015


It seems now that the three major parties are determined to deliver the new constitution on 20 September 2015 as per the news story “CA likely to promulgate constitution on Sept 20” (THT, 15 September, Page 1). In-spite of the continued agitations in the Tarai, the last lap of the constitution drafting process has moved ahead in the CA.

Time is running out fast for both the agitating and the major parties to sit down for talks to settle political differences. If both the sides do not sit for talks the situation in the Tarai-Madhes will remain tense. However, it is good in the sense that the three major political parties who had different political manifestos have come together to adopt the constitution by the second CA.

The only concern of the people is whether the new constitution will bring lasting peace and open the door for prosperity in Nepal at a time when some of the districts in the Tarai have been shut down over the delineation of boundaries of the federal units. In a democracy, everybody has the right to launch peaceful agitation but at the same time the government also has its duty to protect the life of the general people and property. It is hoped that all the political parties use their common sense, sit down on the negotiating table and amicably settle down their political differences.

2083/84 budget at a glance

2083/84 budget at a glance The Balen led government , which is almost two-thirds majority government secured in the March 2026 elections , has announced its annual budget 2,124.34 billion on May 29, 2026, as the largest budget in Nepal's history, representing a 25.2 present increase over the revised estimates of the current fiscal year 2082/83.  Most of the financial experts and economic analysts opine that this budget, although optimistic, has broadly, boldly and wisely covered key and major aspects of the national all round development. Huge tax reforms , massive infrastructure allocations, transformative sectoral policies, 7 percent targets on economic growth and inflation capped at 6 per cent are the key aspects of the highly optimistic budget.
