Oli accused the coalition government of slowing the pace of development activities in the country. He further said the people in the northern belt of Humla were facing problems of telephone, internet, road and employment due to the closed border. "I've heard that the areas including Namkha Rural Municipality were suffering from telephone problems," Chairperson Oli shared.
Chairman Oli also shared that he had forwarded the talks to expand Karnali corridor up to Hilsa. "Humla has huge tourism potential. But, transportation is a prerequisite here.
