GANDAKI, June 30: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has directed chief ministers of all seven provinces to expedite the implementation of federalism in a manageable way.

He was inaugurating the meeting of chief ministers of all seven provinces here in Pokhara today.

 "First of all I would like to thank the Chief Minister of Gandaki Province and the Gandaki Province Council of Ministers for organizing the meeting and wish for its success. I believe the meeting that took place for the second time since the promulgation of the constitution will play an important role in further strengthening the federal democratic republic and consolidating relations between provinces."

The federal governance system that was brought about with struggles of people ending around 250 years of unitary system is facing implementation challenges, he said. "We have made remarkable achievements around seven years into the promulgation of the constitution. Elections of all three levels for their second term have been concluded. Province capitals of all seven provinces have been designated and named," he said.

Likewise, the Prime Minister informed that 80 Acts relating to the implementation of federalism, and 165 laws have been amended, and some other important acts were in the phase of promulgation.
