KATHMANDU: The Parliamentary Hearing Committee (PHC) on Tuesday approved the names of the proposed chairpersons of four commissions.
A meeting of the PHC unanimously approved names for the Chairpersons of four commissions, including the National Inclusive Commission, National Natural Resources and Fiscal Commission, Madhesi Commission, and the Tharu Commission, PHC Chairperson Laxman Lal Karna informed.
It should be noted that the Constitutional Council (CC) had earlier recommended Shantaraj Subedi, former Secretary, as chair of National Inclusive Commission; Balananda Poudel as the chair of National Natural Resources and Fiscal Commission, Dr Bijay Kumar Dutta as chair of the Madhesi Commission and Bishnu Prasad Chaudhary as chair of Tharu Commission.
However, lawmakers of Nepali Congress, the main opposition in the PHC, abstained from today’s meeting expressing dissatisfaction over the CC’s decision of recommending the names.
