. The meeting of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) held a discussion on the records burnt due to the agitation and incidents that took place on September 7 and 24, 2082.

Speaking at the meeting, Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle said that there was no big difference between the government and the opposition regarding the nature of the problem.

He said that although there are different opinions about the cause of the incident, everyone is aware of the damage and the circumstances of the incident.

He said the government would accept the directives given by the committee and would move ahead as per the prevailing laws.”I don’t think the government and the opposition have a different understanding of the nature of this problem,” he said.

There may be a lot of disagreement as to why it happened, but we are all aware of the incidents, accidents and damage that took place before the naked eye. When there is a common thought on the problem, it seems that the same work will be done in the solution. We will guide the committee. Until then, it is up to the law. Finance Minister Wagle has said that the government is ready to amend the laws if necessary for the management of the records burnt during the agitation of September 23 and 24, 2082.

He said the committee should make the necessary decision on whether or not the existing law should cover the incident.

He said that the committee has concluded that the law needs to be amended and the government is ready for it.

He said, “Whether September 23 and 24 should be called an accident or not, whether the current law covers it or not.

If it doesn’t cover it, let’s go for the amendment. Let’s pass. We are ready to amend the law if the committee directs. But the committee will decide whether it will lead to a solution or complication. He said that the use of digital technology should be prioritized to prevent such incidents from happening in the future and to keep government documents safe.
