Kathmandu: The Department of Agriculture has directed the Butwal Agricultural Produce Market Operations Committee to immediately open bids for 68 stalls and comply with a district court ruling. Despite receiving 267 bids after a tender notice published on September 9, 2024, the committee had not opened them. After the court’s final verdict on November 6 instructing immediate action, the ministry issued a follow-up letter on December 1 demanding compliance without further delay.
