Long-term plan must for economic reform: former PM Bhattarai

CHANDRAUTA: Chairman of Nepal Samajbadi Party, Baburam Bhattarai, has said a long-term plan is imperative to resolve economic problems. Chairman Bhattarai, also the former prime minister, reminded that the economy at present is undergoing a transition from traditionalism to modernism, so it needs proper attention. Talking to party cadres in Kapilvastu district, on Monday, Bhattarai said the agricultural system has been disrupted, thereby creating huge dependence on imports. The industry sector has also witnessed problems for some time, he said, adding that a long-term plan is necessary to address such issues. He warned that as Nepal was continuously exporting human labour and importing goods, it could aggravate economic problems. By RSS READ ALSO:
