Ensure law and order

Maintaining law and order situation in the country especially in the urban areas has been a challenging job for the home ministry and its concerned authorities considering the increasing number of criminal cases in the recent years. As mentioned in the recent report, the numbers of drug addicts, rape cases and other violent cases against women (VAW) are found alarmingly increasing threatening social harmony. Also, the irresponsible and immoral acts of some of the security personnel, who are supposed to punish the culprits, have made the general people more vulnerable and culprits easily escape from such heinous crimes. The recent rape case in Kathmandu and mishandling of this case by the security personnel made headlines in most of the major newspapers.

The foremost job of this government among others is to ensure the smooth flow of funds and deputation of human resources to the local and provincial governments for their effective implementation without wasting any more time. These governments have already started blaming the federal government for not working as per the spirit of the constitution that demands full operation of federal structures following the three tiers of elections.

In the meantime, it was encouraging to read the news “Home Administration Reform Work Plan issued” (THT, April 3, Page 2) concerning existing law and order situation in the country. The main task of the home ministry is to maintain peace, security, reinforce national unity, and create social goodwill among the citizens in the country.
