Citizens' front door is the government, the local government. which works from registration of individual cases to development, justice and empowerment. Can plan and execute independently. It is also free to make and use laws.

How is the government closest to the citizens working? What is the experience of local residents? A discussion has been organized in Butbal sub-metropolis under Kantipur Television's 'Mahanagar Mahabahas', which has started a national debate on local issues.  In the

program, Butwal sub-metropolitan chief Khelraj Pandey listed his efforts in developing development plans, distribution, implementation, legislation and service improvement. He also claimed that all schools have done exemplary work in physical infrastructure development, protection of Jitgarhi fort, preservation of tradition and culture in order to increase the quality of education. In the

program, Hariprasad Aryal, president of Butwal Industry and Commerce Association, suggested to increase tourism and industrial production to advance Butwal as a commercial hub. He requested that the skill development program conducted by technical schools in Butwal or the sub-metropolis should include topics related to self-reliance and employment.

Sub-metropolitans should conduct skills and capacity development programs according to market demands and needs. Only if the produced manpower is consumed in the market will harmony be achieved between businessmen and the government," he said.

Sumitra Sharma, the central vice president of Human Rights Alliance, suggested to conduct educational reform programs from kindergarten to develop educational hub Butwal. She also demanded that public schools should not charge fees under any pretext. Half a dozen students who participated in the debate also asked to save Butwal's educational reputation and make arrangements for underprivileged children to get education easily. 

Rights activist Maya Gautam asked the sub-metropolitan to take initiatives to make child health more effective and bring enough water. She asked, 'When will the water of Jhumsa come? When will the people of Butwal get enough drinking water?' Baburam Panthi, deputy general secretary of UML Rupandehi, alleged that the plans started in the previous tenure, including tourism development, physical infrastructure, and systematic settlement plan of Butwal, have been stalled. He suggested that no matter who wins or loses, there should be no politics in development.  Locals participating in the

debate said that Butwal has many possibilities for development, development plans have been started but have not been completed. Manju Bhusal, president of the Lumbini Builders' Association, demanded that quality be maintained from development contracts to implementation. "It is not only a big thing to spend money on development, it should also be seen whether quality construction has been done," she said. 

Among the dimensions of social development, the participants raised issues such as disability, inclusion and sexuality. Savitra Ghimire, a central member of the National Federation of Disabled Persons, suggested that due to the lack of disability-friendly services, many people could not get government services. She also praised Upa Mahanagara for introducing people with disabilities by going door-to-door. 

Rita Sen, secretary of the single women's group Rupandehi for Human Rights, complained that the citizens were not aware of the policy as it was not debated and discussed. Manjila Gyawali, a law student, said that accidents have increased due to stray animals and asked for immediate control. 

Baburam Bhattarai came second in the election for mayor of Butwal sub-metropolitan city. He accused the people's representatives of not being able to work as promised in the election. Popular programs and slogans have been moved forward. According to that, there are no visible and results-based work,' he said.
