Govt urged to renew lawfully established crusher and sand industries

KATHMANDU: Federation of Nepal Crushers and Mining Industry Entrepreneurs (FNCMIE) has urged the government to ensure the renewal of registered crusher and quarrying industries.

At an installation programme for the FNCMIE leadership in Kathmandu today, participants also called for a revision of the distance criteria for crushers and sand quarries, referencing a Supreme Court verdict suggesting flexibility in these criteria. They advocated for a practical approach in revising the regulations.

The newly-elected president of FNCMIE, Sitaram Neupane, urged the government to facilitate the export of processed construction materials, considering its economic benefits for the country.

The recent general convention of the FNCMIE elected new leadership, including Neupane as president and Chandramani Adhikari as senior vice president.

Regional vice presidents include Rohit Bahadur Karki from Koshi Province, Ram Narayan Prasad Yadav from Madhesh Province, Devaraj Luintel from Bagmati Province, Leeladhar Baral from Gandaki Province, and Min Bahadur Shahi from Lumbini Province. Devaraj Tamang has been elected as the general secretary.

The general convention was attended by representatives from 780 quarries and sand industries across the country.
