Experts from various fields including economic, business and health sectors have suggested the government to facilitate socio-economic activities amidst the lockdown imposed to check the spread of coronavirus.
In a consultation hosted by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli at his official residence in Baluwatar today, they said measures should be adopted to provide treatment to the COVID-19 infected making proper use of the limited resources, while also focusing on public sensitization against the deadly virus. They suggested strategies that could help gradually resume socio-economic activities in the country.
PM's press adviser Surya Thapa shared that the consultation meeting held with 25 experts was very fruitful and result-oriented. Also present in the almost four-hour-long consultation were Deputy Prime Minister Iswar Pokharel, Minister for Foreign Affairs Pradeep Kumar Gyawali and Minister for Health and Population Bhanu Bhakta Dhakal. High-ranking government officials, economic and health experts and social campaigners also took part in the meeting.
The government has enforced lockdown up to 14 June and subsequently made public a plan to repatriate its citizens stranded in India and other third countries. Lately, there is growing pressure on the government to gradually resume the social and economic activities.
