BHAKTAPUR, May 19: Chief whip of the Nepali Congress (NC) Bashana Thapa has urged the government to speed up the project on excavation of petroleum products in Dailekh district in Karnali Province.
Addressing a programme on Tuesday, chief whip Thapa informed that the extraction of petroleum products was obstructed because the Surkhet-Dailekh roadway was not upgraded in time.

The initiative is expected to bring a sweeping change in the national economy by availing the petroleum products for 50 years to Nepali consumers. But it is not given priority by the government, she worried. The lawmaker urged the government to give pace to the project.
The Nepali Congress leader elected from Dailekh district informed that NC would extend support to the government in its positive interventions.
She refuted the rumour that NC was on the verge of split. She argued internal debate in the party is the beauty of democracy.
