He cited the government's efforts against fake Bhutanese refugees as evidence of its commitment to combating corruption, emphasizing that corrupt individuals will be apprehended at any time, as demonstrated by the government's response to the wide-body scam.
Prime Minister Dahal also noted that the government has instructed relevant bodies to ensure the foundation stone laying ceremony for the Budhigandaki Hydro Power Project.
