Environment-Friendly Development is Essential: MP Basnet

Kathmandu – Shakti Bahadur Basnet, a Member of Parliament from CPN (Maoist Centre), has emphasized the need for environment-friendly development. Speaking at a meeting of the Infrastructure Development Committee held at Singha Durbar on Friday, he highlighted that Nepal is facing severe challenges due to climate change and urged special attention to address them.

Basnet pointed out that while Nepal has contributed minimally to global climate change, the country is disproportionately suffering its direct impacts. He stressed the importance of focusing on immediate solutions, particularly in resolving road-related issues.

The MP also cautioned the government against making unrealistic promises, stating, "The government should only commit to what it can actually deliver. It’s not productive to dwell on unimplemented plans."
