Pokhara, August 15 Gandaki Province is all set to launch various programmes by opening offices under four ministries in all districts of the province. A PA meeting of the province held today decided to open offices of as many as four ministries at the district level to implement programmes launched by the ministries. “We are facing a hard time implementing programmes even after releasing the budget due to lack of offices at the district level. Hence, we came up with the idea of opening those offices immediately and starting the work procedure,” said Physical Infrastructure Minister Ram Sharan Basnet, who is also the spokesperson for the provincial government. The province government decided to open those offices after getting approval from the federal government. Necessary staffers have also been managed for the same.
