KATHMANDU, MAY 19 -
Former Prime Minister and leader of the UCPN (Maoist) Baburam Bhattarai
has said that the existing corruption and irregularities in the tourism
sector, which stands as the backbone of the country's economy, should
be ended.
Bhattarai, who arrived at the Nepal Tourism Board on Monday morning to
express solidarity with the Joint Tourism Coordination Council (JTCC) in
its agitation, said that not only at NTB, it was necessary to eliminate
the corruption in the overall sensitive bodies of the government.
Bhattarai expressed the commitment that he from the behalf of his party
would draw the attention of the bodies concerned to have rightful
demands of the tourism entrepreneurs addressed.
The JTCC has launched the agitation at the NTB premises for the past 20
days putting forth various demands including timely reform of the NTB
and formation of a commission to carryout investigation on the
institutionalized corruption at the NTB, among others. RSS
