The lawmakers also suggested that the NPC should work actively not to repeat the previous year's problem of budget freeze and transfer of the budget fund.
The meeting also concluded that the NPC should complete the old and new projects by holding discussions with different ministries not to let the budget to freeze as the problem appeared due to lack of expenditure of funds under the capital expenditure head.
The meeting also directed the government to resume the projects that are run by transfering the budget funds and also not to discriminate in allocation of budget to different districts in the next budget.
