Sunday, December 26, 2021 (Poush 11, 2078) : Independent Power Producers’ Association, Nepal (IPPAN) and the Federation of Contractors’ Associations of Nepal (FCAN) jointly handed over a memorandum to Rt. Hon’ble Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, requesting immediate repeal of the Beema Samiti’s directive on Minimum Premium Rate for Non-Tariff Insurance Business issued on 2078/06/06. The Prime Minister’s attention was drawn to this matter because of Beema Samiti’s apathy to listen to the genuine concerns raised by various stakeholders as well as the issues and challenges that new directive has posed to the hydropower and infrastructure development sector.
A team consisting of Vice President Ganesh Karki, Secretary Balaram Khatiwada, Executive Member Uttam Bhlon Lama from IPPAN and FCAN president Ravi Singh were present in the meeting with the PM. FCAN President Singh briefed the PM of the detrimental impact of Beema Samiti’s directive may have on the energy and infrastructure development sectors.
Understanding the memorandum, Prime Minister Deuba directed his secretariat to work with the Beema Samiti to resolve the issue in a way to help all concerns.
