Stating that internal competition and neglect of local people, the 'Lumbini Bachao Maha Abhiyan' has demanded the cancellation of the appointment of the member secretary of the Lumbini Development Fund. The campaign submitted a memorandum to the fund's vice-chairman Lyahar Kyal Lama on Sunday, demanding the cancellation of the appointment to save the prosperity and dignity of Lumbini.
The government has already appointed Gorkha engineer Deepak Shrestha as the member secretary of the fund last week. The campaign, which has been agitating for a long time demanding that locals be given a chance to be the member secretary of the fund, has made this demand.
According to campaign leader Ram Bikash Chaudhary, the previously established competition rules have been violated in the appointment of the member secretary. This is what has sparked the controversy, he said. He expressed his objection to the fact that local stakeholders, intellectuals and campaigners were not consulted during the appointment.
‘We demand that a qualified person who understands the historical, archaeological and cultural importance of Lumbini be appointed as the member secretary,’ the statement submitted by the campaign states. ‘If our peaceful and responsible demand is ignored, the Lumbini Bachau Maha Abhiyan will be forced to hold struggle programs with the people.’ The statement states that the appointments to the fund, while ignoring people familiar with the soil of Lumbini, have been hurting the feelings of the locals.
