Photo · english.makalukhabar.com

Rastriya Swatantra Party MP Shriram Neupane proposed using a "dummy tiger" as an innovative solution to control monkey populations affecting farmers across Nepal, suggesting technological enhancements and policy changes. In separate discussions during the same parliamentary session, other MPs raised concerns about road safety, the agricultural crisis in Ilam, and the need for expanded dialysis services in public hospitals.

  • MP Shriram Neupane suggested that the government should implement a national monkey management policy, declare affected areas as "special monkey protection zones," and introduce sterilization programs alongside dummy tiger systems.
  • He also recommended studying international practices, including those of India, to advance monkey sterilization initiatives.
  • Anushka Shrestha of the Rastriya Swatantra Party highlighted the dangers of high-speed, overloaded heavy vehicles on public roads, citing specific issues in Lalitpur.
  • Nepali Congress Chief Whip Nishkal Rai raised concerns over delayed payments from the Dairy Development Corporation to farmers in Ilam, amounting to nearly Rs 500 million.
  • CPN-UML MP Sajida Khatun Siddiqui urged the government to expand dialysis services in public hospitals nationwide due to machine shortages.
