PM to address nation from Rara on April 14

Kathmandu, March 28:

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is set to address the nation from the magnificent Rara Lake in Mugu district on the New Nepali Year at the start of a tourism campaign.

 

PM Oli is scheduled to go to Rara to inaugurate the ‘Tourism Year 2075’ campaign initiated by Karnali Province on April 14, and he will use the occasion to address the nation. 

“I will be the first tourist in Karnali. The bugle of tourism will be blown from Rara,” he said while inaugurating the 7^th General Assembly of the General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions (GEFONT) here. 

He said that the present government didn’t have the luxury to run the country as in the past, so it would be more active, quick and deliver the results within a couple of years so that the people can feel the change. 

According to him, the government is a servant at the service of the people, so it will not resort to coercive methods. But those who engage in extortion and threaten the society with violence would not be spared. 

“The government is there to serve the people. It will not suppress anyone, but those who disturb social coherence and peace will be punished accordingly,” said the PM. 

PM Oli appreciated GEFONT’s role in fighting for the rights of the workers, and uplifting their lives.

He said that the government would run every development and awareness campaign in an aggressive manner. 

“I will support the admission of the girl child in school and urge every elected representative across the country to do the same. I also ask GEFONT to be ready for the campaign,” he said. 

He said that the government would also launch a campaign against corruption and obstruction in development works.
