The Karnali state government formed a 4-member high-level committee under the coordination of former secretary Laxman Aryal on 5th Baisakh for administrative restructuring. After nearly two months of study, the committee submitted its report to the provincial government on June 13.

For the implementation of which, the Council of Ministers meeting on June 24 formed a four-member committee under the coordination of Chief Minister and Secretary of the Council of Ministers Office Laxmikumar Vick. But due to differences between the ruling parties, the implementation has become confused.

According to the report of the high-level committee, it was recommended to reduce the number of ministries to 6, the number of subordinate offices to 71 and the number of employees to 2,500 in Karnali province. The committee suggested that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Law should be established in the office of the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers, and the Ministry of Water Resources and Energy Development and the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Urban Development should be merged with each other to establish the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure Development. 

Currently, there are 8 ministries, 133 offices and 2 thousand 955 employees in Karnali. According to the high-level committee, it is recommended to maintain the organizational structure so that a maximum of 75 percent of the total amount of resources can cover the administrative expenses from the internal income of the state government and the revenue distribution received from the federal government.

Chief Minister Yamlal Kandel is saying that the provincial government will be restructured anyway, while the leader of the ruling Nepali Congress parliamentary party Jeevan Bahadur Shahi and Social Development Minister Ghanshyam Bhandari representing Congress in the government are claiming that it cannot be implemented.

Chief Minister Kandel said that organizational restructuring will play an important role in maintaining good governance throughout the province. "There is a scientific restructuring of the government agencies to justify the structure of the province," he said, "it will be implemented gradually for the prosperity of the province and cost management."

However, the leader of the Congress parliamentary party and former chief minister Shahi, the main power partner party, is claiming that the report submitted by the high-level committee is immature from both legal and practical points of view. "This has reduced the morale of the employees," he said, "the report seems to violate various orders of the court." Instead, he said that an expert committee should be formed and the stakeholders should be discussed and restructuring should be done based on their suggestions.
