SURKHET, Jan 24: Karnali Provincial government has decided to dissolve the provincial Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation as a part of the agreement among the ruling parties to reduce the number of ministries.
The provincial government on Monday decided to merge the dissolved ministry with the Ministry of Physical Infrastructures. Chief Minister Raj Kumar Sharma said the Monday’s cabinet meeting made a decision to this effect as a part of their efforts to reduce the financial burden of the provincial government.

In the four-point agreement reached earlier, the ruling CPN (Maoist Center) and CPN-UML had agreed to reduce the number of ministries to seven from the existing eight ministries. There are widespread criticisms against the provincial governments for increasing the number of ministries to create a parallel structure like the federal government.
