Kathmandu : Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has assured that the arrears from the Nepal Electricity Authority’s dedicated feeders and trunk lines will be collected in full.

In response to questions from MPs during today’s House of Representatives meeting, PM Oli stated that the government intends to collect these dues without cutting off power supplies to industries.

“The government is committed to collecting the arrears without disrupting power to any operations,” he said.

He also addressed concerns about discrepancies between the government and NEA leadership, refuting social media claims suggesting that the NEA is trying to collect tariffs while the government is offering exemptions.

Additionally, Prime Minister Oli announced plans to implement a system for expedited responses within three days for files requiring decisions in any ministry.

He also mentioned the commencement of linking national identity cards and driver’s licenses to the citizen app.

Oli stated that the constitution can be amended based on the experiences gained from its implementation and in line with the aspirations of the people and the needs of the nation. He emphasized that any amendments will be made with the consent of all political parties.

He highlighted that both revenue mobilization and capital expenditure in the month of Shrawan in the current fiscal year have increased compared to the previous year.

The Prime Minister also pointed to significant improvements in the capital market and expressed optimism about the rising morale and enthusiasm for investment in the private sector.

He attributed these positive developments to the government’s policies aimed at achieving the nation’s stated objectives.

“Major parties, including the CPN (UML) and Nepali Congress, have united to guide the country toward political stability, corruption control, good governance, economic development, social justice, and prosperity,” said PM Oli.

He reiterated the government’s commitment to a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, stressing that corruption control should be pursued through judicial investigations and must be result-oriented, rather than merely rhetorical.
