Inaugurating the western regional-level mega women’s festival at Kushmabazaar in Parbat on Sunday, DPM KC said that country’s nationality is weakening due to the practice of doing things in the tune of foreigners. KC added that the blockade imposed from India is still not relaxed. On a separate context, KC also said that the government has run self-employment programmes to stop the uncontrolled outflow for foreign employment.
