Urban Development Minister Jhankri for holistic development



KATHMANDU: Minister for Urban Development Ram Kumari Jhankri has said efforts would be made to ensure all citizens that they had ownership of current government.

Minister Jhankri said so during a greetings exchange program organized in Tanahun on the occasion of the Dashain festival. The Minister viewed that those representing the party in government were committed to fulfilling their responsibilities. Control of corruption and building of good governance were priority, she underscored.

She, however, said, “We don’t have time. But we need to do something in favor of people.” According to her, development should not be concentrated in particular area and district but be holistic. “I’m for just development which covers all districts including Humla and Jumla,” Jhankri added.

On the occasion, Minister for Labor, Employment and Social Security Krishna Kumar Shrestha vowed that he would end the anomalies in the sector of foreign employment.

Necessary policy, laws and standard would be set to build socialism oriented economy, according to him. More than 1.5 million people lost job due to COVID-19 pandemic, Minister Shrestha said, adding the restoration of job is therefore a huge challenge. “Jobs would be created by coordinating with all sides including industrial sectors,” Shrestha viewed. The program was addressed by various other leaders of the CPN-Unified Socialist.
