Kathmandu. With the objective of freeing the country’s public administration from political influence and ensuring good governance, the government has abolished the trade unions of civil servants. Following the issuance on Sunday of the ‘Ordinance to Amend Certain Nepal Acts, 2083’ by President Ramchandra Paudel on the recommendation of the Council of Ministers, the legal arrangement for employee trade unions, which had been in practice for years, has formally come to an end.
According to Minister for Federal Affairs and General Administration Pratibha Rawal, with the issuance of the ordinance, no trade unions of any kind, whether affiliated with political parties or official, will now exist in the civil service.
