TANAHUN: Nepali Congress (NC) senior leader Ram Chandra Paudel pledged to shoulder the responsibility for the development of Tanahu district.

“Do not worry. I by myself will take the responsibility for the district’s development,” he said in an interaction with local people at Kalesti bazaar of Byas Municipality-7 in the district today (Monday).

Development work in the district could not move ahead and big projects halted during the time of the erstwhile government led by the CPN (UML), he blamed.

Stating that he could get a limited time to make his presence in the home district due to his involvement in the national politics and the national issues, the NC senior leader insisted that the development of the district was always his priority.

He was scheduled to interact with the people at different parts of the Byas and Bhanu municipalities in the district.
