On the occasion, Prime Minister Deuba expressed commitment to providing his full support in regard to the enforcement of the memo and shared that the government would take necessary decisions in this regard immediately.
According to leader Singh, there is confusion in the operation of Melamchi Drinking Water Project as the budget of the current fiscal year mentioned the scrapping of the Melamchi Drinking Water Development Committee, adding the committee should be revived or other necessary decisions should be taken.
The other demands incorporated in the memo include the construction of drinking water intake at an appropriate location after carrying out a technical study, appropriate arrangement for reconstruction of damaged structures and motorable road up to the source area in order to address concerns of locals.
