In Dharan sub-metropolitan city, the mayor-deputy mayor dispute has affected the budget and program in the Municipal Assembly.

The municipal assembly has become uncertain after the executive meeting which was called to decide the date of the municipal assembly for the budget and program of the next financial year to submit the budget and program of Dharan in the upcoming municipal assembly. Although the executive meeting was called, the chief administrative officer was also absent in the meeting.

At the local level, although there is a legal provision to submit the annual budget and program to the Municipal Assembly by June 10, the Municipal Assembly program has become uncertain after the Sunday meeting was postponed.

Mayor Hark Sampang postponed the meeting after 28 municipal executive members including Deputy Mayor Aindravikram Begha submitted a written letter stating that it is not appropriate to hold an executive meeting without legal procedures and necessary preparations.

According to Deputy Mayor Begha, there is a provision that according to subsection 6 of section 6 of section 66 of the Local Government Operation Act 2074, the resource estimate and budget limit of the local level should be determined by the 10th of Baisakh each year. He said that although there is a provision that the information should be provided to the relevant divisions, branches and wards by May 15th, the ceiling budget is not complete.

In that meeting, Mayor Sampang put the first agenda of the City Assembly. After holding a meeting of the Revenue Consultative Committee, the committee should have a budget equal to 1 billion 60 million 15 lakh 48 thousand . For that, the report was submitted on May 31st, but without any progress or discussion from the mayor, the notice of the executive meeting was immediately received and thus the meeting was postponed as it was not legal and legal, Deputy Mayor Begha said.

'The Resource Estimation and Boundary Determining Committee is coordinated by the Mayor, but the meeting has not been held under his leadership,' Deputy Mayor Begha said, 'Only after the meeting of the Resource Estimation and Boundary Determining Committee, the committee will discuss the budget and program and only the executive meeting will be held.

Similarly, within the specified limits, the Budget and Program Formulation Committee shall formulate the annual budget and program of the local level after approval by the executive before June 10th and submit it to the local level assembly within June 10th. However, no such preparations have been made in Dharan so far. Earlier, there was a dispute in the meeting of the Budget Ceiling and Delimitation Committee. At that time, there was a tense situation in Dharan after Mayor Sampang's supporters reached the sub-metropolis.

Mayor Sampang had prepared to submit policies and programs at the executive meeting on Sunday. His strategy was to convene the Municipal Assembly on June 10th and adjourn it by submitting the policy and program on that day and after discussing the budget and program later and agreeing to convene the Municipal Assembly, but after 28 municipal executive members including Deputy Mayor Aindra Vikram Begha submitted a written letter saying that it is not appropriate to hold the executive meeting without legal procedures and necessary preparations, it is uncertain when the executive meeting will be held. Last year also, a council meeting was held at the last minute.
