Devghat, a famous religious and cultural centre in Central Nepal is yet to maximise its potential. Devghat Area Development Committee has demanded appropriation of budget of Rs 108.88 million for the fiscal year 2019/20. The budget amount has been demanded to execute the master plan of the area, it was informed at a press conference organised by the Committee at Bharatpur on Wednesday.
Budget allocated for Devghat Area Development in the current fiscal year was very low and it was not result-yielding as well, the committee said.
"This year Rs 7.5 million was appropriated towards capitalised and Rs 2 million towards recurrent", said Devghat Area Development Committee Chairperson Shivaraj Poudel. He added the amount was non-existent to carry out some result-yielding works. Chairperson Poudel demanded regular appropriation of budget for the implementation of 125 plans of the Devghat development.
