Koshi Province Lawmakers Resist Project Bank Rules

Lawmakers in Koshi Province, particularly from the Nepali Congress, are resisting the recently implemented 'Project Bank' rules, which set minimum financial thresholds for development projects. The Nepali Congress Parliamentary Party has decided to pressure the government to lower the minimum project limit from 2.5 million rupees to 500,000 rupees, arguing that smaller projects can also be beneficial. This move raises concerns about the effective implementation of provincial laws designed to prevent arbitrary development practices.
