Shekhar Golchha, President, Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry
The business sector has been through a lot since the outbreak of the coronavirus and lockdown and is now just about getting back on its feet. However, the changing environment with strikes and rallies being organised frequently and due to the political instability investors and businesses are getting demoralised.
Achyut Guragain, President, Nepal Association of Tour and Travel Agents
The recent changes in the political situation of Nepal are crushing the tourism fraternity. We are being victimised as political parties are fighting for their own ego and selfishness. If things go on like this we ourselves will have to organise protests to make the political parties realise that they are violating our right to do business in a safe and secure atmosphere.
Bhawani Rana, Former President, Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry
The private sector has never supported such rallies and strikes organised by any political party. A one-day strike means a loss of millions of rupees. The business sector has been hit hard by the pandemic and is trying to look into ways on how we can sustain. However, such strikes and rallies will dampen our efforts. Instead of rallies people should have discussions and resolve their issues.
Satish More, President, Confederation of Nepalese Industries
Strikes and rallies are things that need to be avoided by all people. Such activities literally halt all transportation and industries. The atmosphere in the capital becomes chaotic. A permanent and majority government is the need of the hour for our country. Problems can arise but they need to be resolved through talks in a simple manner rather than through protests.
