National Natural Resources and Finance Commission

Rastriya Prajatantra Party Chief Whip Khushbu Oli has criticized the government's reduction of financial equalization grants to provincial and local levels, stating it undermines federalism and the autonomy of constitutional bodies. Oli argued that the cuts, ranging from 10 to 25 percent, have halted payments for completed projects, causing financial distress and hindering the delivery of basic services like teachers' salaries and medicine provisions.
