Three state govt agencies in Province 4 to start work today

Feb 1, 2018-The Chief Minister’s Office, the Office of Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Law in Province 4 are planning to start their operations from Thursday.

All preparations have been completed so that these three agencies can start their daily work from their offices based on the premises of the Skill Development Training Centre in Pardi, Pokhara, Chief Secretary Laxman Aryal said on Wednesday.

The office of the Ministry of Financial Affairs and Planning will aslo be situated inside the centre complex. Aryal said it would take some time for the Ministry of Financial Affairs to start its works because its building is not ready yet.

The Ministry of Social Development will be based on the building of the Western Regional Education Directorate, the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure Development on the building of the Urban Development and Building Construction Division Office, the Ministry of Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperative on the building of the Division Office of Cooperative Training, and the Ministry of Industry, Tourism, Forest and Environment on a new building of Kaski District Forest Office.
