why is sudurpashchim's budget stalled?
Sudurpashchim Province's budget is stalled primarily due to internal government issues and political disputes. The assembly meeting to discuss the budget has been postponed multiple times, most recently to October 24, because the budget preparations remain incomplete. The Nepali Congress has opposed passing the budget through ordinance, demanding timely approval instead. This delay, now over 55 days, has caused shortages in salaries and medicines in the province. The Supreme Court has also become involved, scheduling hearings on petitions related to the budget delay.
