CM Kandel calls for unified efforts to propel Karnali’s development



KARNALI: Yamlal Kandel, the Chief Minister of Karnali Province, underscored the urgent need for concerted efforts from all stakeholders to drive the region towards development and prosperity.

Speaking at the Karnali Province Assembly meeting, CM Kandel emphasized the importance of effective coordination and collaboration to address the expectations and aspirations of the people.
