Prime Minister and the cabinet of ministers on a bus. Yes, Wednesday afternoon, rainy day and a bunch of bigwigs of the country. PM Madhav Kumar Nepal went on a small tour around Kathmandu to see the problems of Kathmanduities. The surprising element was everyone was aboard on a tourist bus and there was no ‘big’ security or escort for these leaders.
During the one-and-half-hour excursion, the group went around the Ring Road starting from Singh Durbar. The only intention of the trip was to see how things are going on in the city. Unsurprisingly, the group saw the lax security system, garbage problem, traffic jam, unregulated vendors and jaywalking, among others.
I don’t want to go damning the tour, but isn’t it that these ministers and the Prime Minister already know the problems Kathmandu and the whole country is facing. No doubt, they saw it. But the important part is, what are they going to do about this? PM Nepal directed the cabinet to take necessary steps, but what are these steps, I guess, even PM Nepal doesn’t know. .gif)
The detour included Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Physical Planning and Works Bijay Kumar Gachchhadar, Home Minister Bhim Rawal, Local Development Minister Purna Kumar Sharma, Labor and Transportation minister Mohammad Aftab Alam along with PM Nepal.
Good luck guys. I hope your tour was not to show off that you care.
