Sub-committee to monitor energy crisis work plan implementation

Agriculture and Water Resources Committee (AWRC) of parliament has formed a sub-committee to monitor implementation of the energy crisis work plan unveiled on February 19. After assessing progress made in implementation of the work plan, the two-day meeting of AWRC, which ended on Sunday, concluded that the work plan was likely to remain in paper. AWRC has formed a five-member sub committee, under the leadership of its Chairman Gagan Thapa to monitor implementation of programs mentioned in the work plan. It has been asked to submit its report to the committee every fortnight. AWRC has reminded the government about a meeting that it held with Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli in the third week of December, saying that there has been no progress at all toward addressing energy crisis.
