KATHMANDU, SEPTEMBER 4
Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak has emphasized that delivering quality services to citizens is the government's top priority.
Speaking at the inauguration of a newly constructed building for the Nepal Police's Province Office in Mahendranagar today, he expressed confidence that the new facility will enhance the police's ability to serve the public more effectively.
During the ceremony, the Home Minister acknowledged that the Nepal Police operates under limited resources and called for improved competency in investigations to meet contemporary demands. He highlighted the growing challenge of cybercrime, which has, as he noted, imposed additional responsibilities on the police.
Minister Lekhak also mentioned that the Nepali Congress-CPN(UML) coalition government was formed based on the seven-point agreement between the two major political parties.
He asserted that this collaboration aims to address key national issues, referencing historical instances where the Congress and UML have cooperated on significant matters, such as drafting the interim constitution and advancing the peace process.
The Minister urged everyone to have confidence in the implementation of the seven-point agreement.
Inspector General of Nepal Police, Basanta Bahadur Kunwar, stated that delivering quality service to citizens remains a priority for the Nepal Police. He added that the police are currently focusing on infrastructure development to support this goal, emphasizing that effective crime investigation relies heavily on infrastructure, legal frameworks, and societal cooperation.
The Nepal Police awarded the construction contract for the new building to Ashish Construction on December 15, 2022, at a cost of Rs 132.6 million.
