Editorial: Lion Palace’s federal challenges
Add to it increasing tensions in the province after the renaming of Province 1 as Koshi Province. In a province or other subordinate levels, different sections of populations can have different sets of interests, expectations and ambitions. Addressing all these concerns is not easy, to say the least. But the onus is on the center to maintain amity.
As provincial and local governments grow more and more aware of the importance of local as well as inter-state resources like forests, mountains, rivers and streams for their survival and prosperity, instances of conflict between different tiers of government are likely to increase. But Singha Durbar (the Lion Palace) presiding over a young federal secular republic does not seem much aware of the challenges that lie ahead on the path of federalism. The Lion Palace should realize that the party time is long over. It should muster strength, show more compassion and govern rather than rule by learning lessons from the immediate neighborhood and beyond. After all, the onus is on this very place to make sure that things do not fall apart in a shaky republic.
