- Local Level Employees Union Nepal has termed adjustment process as discriminatory. It says federal staffers adjusted at local level are accorded undue benefit of promotion
Kathmandu, July 3
Local Level Employees Union Nepal, an umbrella organisation of government staff, has said the employment adjustment process must maintain a just order of precedence.
As per the existing provision, a federal employee when adjusted at a local level is granted double promotion and thus the provision discriminates against local level staff, it said.
Local level employees have expressed concern that the discriminatory provision is discouraging for existing employees at local levels and is likely to seriously impact their work efficiency.
Civil Servants Adjustment Act-2018, has a provision to upgrade a section officer from the centre to the position of the seventh level officer and an under-secretary to the ninth level officer, at local level. The act is contradictory to Local Self Governance Regulation which has proposed to adjust section officer as the sixth level officer and under-secretary to the eighth level officer.
The LLEUN organising a press meet today stressed that the new act would demoralise officials who have been serving at local levels for a long time.
&It is an act of sheer discrimination against local level employees in the name of adjustment. This will only discourage the spirit of local level employees, who ensured smooth functioning at local levels when there were no elected representatives,& said Ram Prasad Poudel general secretary of LLEUN.
Poudel said that the adjustment act has barred local level employees to be the chief of administration, which is highly discriminatory. &We have worked all our lives at local levels with full dedication, but now federal employees of the same rank as ours will be seniors to us,& according to Poudel.
The government had estimated that 41,000 civil servants needed to be adjusted at local levels, out of which it has claimed to have adjusted 31,000.
Besides the adjusted employees, it is estimated that local levels have around 17,000 permanent employees and 4,200 temporary employees.

The Election Commission is preparing to hold by-elections within next four months.
EC Spokesperson Shankar Prasad Kharel said that the poll panel was working on election manual and budget estimates to hold the by-elections within next four months.
The EC will have to hold by-elections in one constituency of Kaski for House of Representatives, in one constituency of Bhaktapur for provincial assembly, and one constituency each in Baglung and Dang for provincial assembly.
The EC will also have to hold by-elections for the post of five chiefs and deputy chiefs of local levels and 10 ward chairs.
Pokharel said the government will announce the dates of by-elections soon after consulting the poll panel.
One of the office bearers of the EC told THT that the poll panel will submit its proposal, including budgetary estimates to the government by next Monday. The government has announced in the new fiscal budget that it will hold by-elections within this fiscal.
That means the EC will have to hold the elections before November 26, as it will be difficult to conduct by-elections later, due to cold weather,& the office bearer added.
He said the EC was preparing the estimates of the expenditure required to hold by-elections. &We are going to authorise our district offices to manage materials that may be locally available for the polls,& the office bearer said adding that EC needed to arrange 67 types of materials for holding any type of election.
&As for materials for these types of polls our district offices can manage them locally,& he added. The Election Commission normally needs 120 days as part of preparations for HoR polls, and 80 days for provincial assembly polls.
The EC has begun works for by-elections from last week following Prime Minister KP Sharma Olidirection.

Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal today submitted a memorandum to the National Human Rights Commission, demanding a probe into an incident where Saroj Narayan Singh, 28, was killed when police opened fire at protesters in Sarlahi district, on June 30.
The RJP-N submitted the memorandum to NHRC Chair Anup Raj Sharma, saying the use of lethal force by the police against peaceful protesters spoke of hatred of security agency for Madhesi people.
Security agency has adopted the policy of using lethal force in Madhes even for suppressing peaceful protests, stated the memorandum.
The party said that the security personnel used lethal force when residents of Sarlahi district were protesting the death by drowning of a 12-year-old Amrit Ray, claiming that he was a victim of contractors extracting river products as they had dug a 40-feet deep sand-pit on the bank of a river. The minor had died of drowning in the sand-pit on the bank of a river.
The Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal also said that three people were injured in the police firing.
Besides being a blatant violation of human rights, it is unfortunate that security agency that has the responsibility to protect peoplerights, is indulged in killing people, the RJP-N said in its memorandum.

Two speeding micro-buses collided at Sinamagal in front of the Department of Information, early this morning, leaving all 17 passengers on board injured.
In the accident that occurred at 4:45 am, Bharat Khatri, 40, a Nepali Army soldier, sustained injuries in his head and neck. One of the drivers Himal Kafle also sustained head injuries. Injured passengers were rushed to nearby Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital in another micro bus.
The hospital administration informed that all the passengers, except those who sustained head injuries, returned home following primary treatment.
Of the two micro-buses, one was heading towards Gausala from Koteshwor with 15 passengers in it. Another micro-bus was also heading towards Koteshwor with just two persons, including the driver.
Superintendent of Police Rabi Kumar Poudel, also a spokesperson for Metropolitan Traffic Police Division said that the accident took place due to over speeding.
Of around a dozen general public that THT talked to regarding road safety measures and increasing road accidents, almost everybody said micro-buses were responsible for majority of the accidents in the area. They also said the main reason behind increasing accidents was reckless driving of micro-bus drivers.
&I commute to college in Minibhawan by micro-bus early mornings. I find that micro-bus drivers, especially in the morning, violate traffic rules increasing chances of fatal accidents,& said Namita Dhungel, a resident of Balkumari, Lalitpur, who was waiting for a public vehicle at Ghattekulo Chowk.
People are full of complaints against public vehicle drivers and demanded stringent action against errant drivers.
&Traffic police alone can&t do much towards ensuring safety measures for passengers in public vehicles. Safety of passengers is the responsibility of vehicle drivers,& said SP Poudel.
A total of 228 people lost their lives to road accidents in Kathmandu valley in the first 11 months of the fiscal 2018-19. Of them, 27 were killed by buses, 24 by jeeps, eight by micro-buses and one by tempo. Police said although they had not classified vehicles that met with accidents into public or private, above 95 per cent of such vehicles are buses, jeeps, micro-buses and three-wheelers.
Remaining deaths were caused by trucks, tankers, motorbikes, tractors and pick-up vans. Most of these vehicles are also registered as public vehicle, except motorbikes.
Motorbikes took lives of 92 people, this fiscal.
A total of 194 persons had lost their lives inside valley in road accidents, last year.
As many as 228 people lost their lives in road accidents in Kathmandu valley in the first 11 months of fiscal 2018-2019

It has been stated that an environment, in which the participants of the vocational skill training programmes are able to earn a living through their acquired skills in their own villages, has been created.
