 Bravo Janardan

It was encouraging to read that the Minister for Home Affairs Janardan Sharma is going to end political interference in security forces (“Will end political interference in security bodies: Sharma” June 16, Page 2). He has earned a lot of credibility for ending load shedding in the Kathmandu Valley while he was the Minister for Energy and Water Resources. Now, he has another opportunity to fulfil his promise by discouraging and ending political interference in the security agencies within the next seven months.

In the past, minister for home affairs misused their authorities and demoralized security forces. It was sad to see the high ranking police personnel filing petitions in the Supreme Court against the high handedness of the political leaders. Sharma says that promotions will be based on performance; officials will not be promoted on the basis of pressure from politicians. He has also instructed police officials not to visit politicians for promotions and transfers. Uplifting the status of constables, head-constables and junior police officials with the intension of boosting their morals will be his prime goal among others.

One of the challenging tasks for him will be to arrest Balkrishna Dhungel who was convicted by the SC about six months ago and put him behind bars. Dismantling institutionalised corruption in the security agencies will be another challenge.

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.
