Lawmakers of the National Assembly have complained that though the government decided to provide a discount on electricity tariffs during the lockdown, it has not been implemented.

During the zero hours of the National Assembly meeting today, Taradevi Bhatta of the Nepali Congress objected to the non-implementation of the decision of providing 25 per cent discount up to 150 units of electricity for the two months of Chaitra and Bhaisakh. She also argued that Nepal telecom had decided to provide a discount to its customers in its different services, which has also not been implemented yet.

Likewise, Udaya Poudel of the Nepal Communist Party drew the government’s attention towards increasing cases of suicide in different parts of the country following loss of jobs in the wake of COVID-19 lockdown. He urged the government to make daily life normal by changing the modality of lockdown.
