KATHMANDU, AUGUST 19

Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak has stated that the incumbent government is committed to bringing the peace process to a successful conclusion.

Speaking at a musical and poetic symposium organized by Chaupati Nepal at the Nepal Academy on Monday, Minister Lekhak noted that the peace process has reached its final stage.

The Home Minister expressed confidence that the current government, formed through an alliance between the country's two major political parties, will ensure lasting peace and good governance, thereby alleviating public discontent.

"The Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) formed this alliance to turn the despair caused by political instability into hope," Lekhak asserted.

He further remarked that while the federal democratic republican system has ensured inclusion, public resentment has been growing due to ongoing political instability.

On this occasion, Minister Lekhak announced plans to establish an Immigration Office in Tinkar, Darchula district, with the aim of connecting Sudurpaschim Province to both India and China.

During the event, RD Pravash Chataut was honored for his significant contributions to the languages of Sudurpaschim, and Bijaya Shrestha KC was recognized for her work in women's empowerment and literary writing.

Additionally, Jagadish Prasad Bhatta, the head coach of the national women's volleyball team, classical songwriter and singer Tilak Singh Pela, and others were felicitated. Dambar Sharma Badu was posthumously honored for his contributions to the development and promotion of the languages of Sudurpaschim Province.
