“An end to syndicate system in public transport service, special efforts towards the corruption control and control of smuggling are the special works of the government,” he asserted.
According to him, government has not moved back in regard with taking action against the contractors responsible for delayed projects.
Targeting his remarks at the Nepal Communist Party headed by Netra Bikram Chand ‘ Biplav’, the Home Minister said, ” Now, some forces are making efforts to foil the federalism and trigger anarchy in the society, but they have also been brought under the government control.”
In a meeting of the District Security Coordination Committee here today itself, he directed for keeping the security mechanisms efficient, prompt and effective. He visited the historic Gorakhkali Temple which is under-reconstruction after the Gorkha earthquake.

Though he was earlier scheduled to visit Barpak, the epicenter of the 2015 April 25 earthquake, adverse weather affected the schedule and he arrived at the district headquarters. Adverse weather conditions did not permit his helicopter to land in Barkpak.
