. Chairperson of Ujyalo Nepal Party (UNEPA) Kulman Ghising has urged the government to roll back its decision to hike the price of petroleum products. Speaking at a press meet organized in Birendranagar of Surkhet today, he said the government should give special concession in the price hike of fuel to the Karnali region.
‘Karnali is expensive due to its remote geography. “The price of petroleum products like diesel, petrol and gas should not be increased to facilitate the movement of foreign and domestic tourists here,” he said, adding that the government should reduce the burden of price hike on the citizens and standardize it. ‘
Ghising said that the government with two-
thirds majority would help create an environment conducive for working. “Some Rs 35 billion was assured for electrification and transmission line in Karnali Province during my days as the head of the Nepal Electricity Authority and the government,” he claimed.
According to him, the construction of the 132 KV transmission line is going up to Jumla.
He said that the party formation in a short span of time did not allow proper management of the party and it had to face defeat as it was compelled to go to the polls.
