SURKHET: The business communities have proposed that Banke and Bardiya districts be merged into Karnali State. Surkhet and Kohalpur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) have argued that the merger would boost economic development of the state.

Speaking at an interaction program in Birendranagar, Dhan Bahadur Raut,  President of Surkhet  said the state carving has distanced mutual relations between Banke, Bardiya and Karnali districts. He viewed that the integration process would not be possible without political support. “Political leaders should take initiatives in this regard,” he claimed.
Besides business, Raut also pointed out the cultural and social relations among Banke, Bardiya and Surkhet. Likewise, Narendra Sharma, member of the Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of state 5 urged all sections of the society to raise their voice in this regard.
