President Bidya Devi Bhandari on Tuesday issues seven ordinances

President Bidya Devi Bhandari Tuesday issued seven ordinances including the Acid and Other Harmful Chemical Substances (Regulation). The ordinances were issued on the recommendation of the Council of Ministers in accordance with Article 114 (1) of the constitution, according to the Office of the President.

Other ordinances are Constitutional Council (duties, responsibilities, rights, and working procedure) first amendment, an ordinance to amend some acts against sexual violence, an ordinance to some acts relating to the criminal offense, and criminal work procedure.

The remaining ordinances are Drugs (third amendment), Social Security (first amendment), and the Nepal Police and Province Police (work operation, supervision, and coordination) first amendment, 2078 BS.

Though these ordinances were presented in the last session of the parliament, they could not be entered into the discussion, and that’s why the government introduced them again. The constitution provision seeks the endorsement of any ordinance by the parliament within the six months of the issued date.
