KATHMANDU: A delegation of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry led by its President Shekhar Golchha met Parshuram Meghi Gurung, Chairperson of the Legislative Management Committee of the National Assembly and other committee members and submitted suggestions for necessary amendments to the Food Hygiene and Quality Bill 2077 on January 5. The FNCCI team also held a meeting with Mahindra Ray Yadav, Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Development, and Bimal Prasad Shrivastav, Chairperson of Industry, Commerce, Labour and Consumer Interest Protection Committee of the Parliament on January 4 and submitted the recommendations. While submitting the recommendations, Golchha stated that private companies that are associated with the food industry are quite apprehensive about the bill. He urged the government to hold discussions with the private sector and make the necessary changes before implementing rules. He also made it clear that if the bill is implemented without holding talks with the private sector players and making the needed changes then none of the companies involved in the food industry would be able to operate their businesses.
