Home Minister Ramesh Akhtar has said that preparations are being made to amend the constitution on the basis of national consensus. He has expressed the opinion that since 10 years have passed since the creation of the constitution, it is time to revise it.

In a press conference organized by Press Union Morang in Biratnagar on Wednesday, he identified the strong and weak aspects of the subject and informed that the formation of a joint task force is being discussed for consensus.

Making it clear that anti-constitution and anti-system activities are intolerable, he pointed out the need to find a solution to such problems politically.

After a meeting with industrialists in Biratnagar, the Home Minister said, clarifying that the state's efforts to stop smuggling at the border are not weak, 'There is no shortfall in revenue collection, but I showed seriousness when questions were raised about smuggling incidents.'

Mentioning that the security mechanism has been instructed to add manpower if necessary, he said, 'But the results should be seen.'

He opined that smuggling should be completely stopped to increase revenue.

Speaking about the adjustment of the provincial police, the home minister said that the adjustment will be carried out only after the legal and policy arrangements are completed. "Now, the organization is running on the basis of 70-year-old laws and regulations," he added.
