Balen Shah Led Government To Publicize 100-Day Achievements

Kathmandu. The government led by Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) leader Balen Shah is going to publicize its 100-day achievements today. According to the Prime Minister's Secretariat, preparations are underway to publish a list of achievements made in 100 days, including a review of the work done by the government.

"It has been 100 days since the government was formed. Preparations are being made to publicize the government's work progress from Singha Durbar at 3 PM," said Deepa Dahal, Press and Research Expert to the Prime Minister.

The government was formed under the leadership of Shah on Chaitra 13, after the elections held on Falgun 21 following the Janji movement. The government, formed with good governance and transparency as priorities, had publicized a list of tasks to be done in 100 days.

The Balen-led government has included the formation of a commission to investigate the assets of high-ranking officials who have held power and authority since 2048, the cancellation of 1,594 political appointments, the cancellation of employee trade unions and Swabiyus from universities, the resolution of the problem of chief administrators in local levels, the displacement of influential employees in Singha Durbar and Kathmandu, the reduction of vehicle facilities for employees except those entitled to facilities according to law, efforts to solve cooperative problems, and attempts to reclaim government and public land as its achievements. The government has stated these as its achievements.

The Prime Minister's Secretariat stated that work is being done to prepare a list of the government's accomplishments, including efforts to reduce the number of ministries and remove unnecessary staffing, steps to improve service delivery and reduce procedural complexities, legal reform as a priority and homework for amending more than a hundred laws, aggressive investigation into corruption and financial crimes, improvement in service delivery and decision-making processes, and the initiation of an online system for the first time in employee transfers.

Although the government has initiated some positive work, it has been criticized for removing squatters without alternatives, harassing entrepreneurs and businessmen without facts and evidence, filing various cases against opposition party leaders and activists out of revenge, increasing taxes in education and other sectors, failing to control inflation, and not bringing concrete plans for the working class.
