The Federation of
Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) has urged the government to
give priority to the economic agenda too.
The government must
prioritise economic issues along with the election, FNCCI urged the chairman of
the interim election council Khil Raj Regmi at a meeting held at the latter's
office here today. The FNCCI team was led by its president Suraj Vaidya.
On the occasion, Vaidya
urged Regmi to help create a labour friendly industrial environment, develop
the energy sector, and formulate a development friendly budget.
"The election and
economic development process should go hand-in-hand for the country's
benefit," said Vaidya, seeking security for entrepreneurs, as in the
recent days attacks on entrepreneurs have been increasing.
The private sector drew
Regmi's attention to the recent attacks on hotelier BK Shrestha and telecom
service provider Ncell.
Regmi, on the occasion,
assured the private sector that the government would provide security to
entrepreneurs and help create a better industrial environment with immediate
reforms.
"The government
will work on immediate issues," assured Regmi, adding that the election
government cannot work on long-term issues. "However, the government will
have a zero tolerance policy on security related issues for a free and fair
election and people's security," he said, adding that the government is
ready to take necessary steps to build a better environment for the election
and sought the private sector's support.
