April 5, Kathmandu – Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) lawmaker Sagar Dhakal emphasized the need to implement a special policy to effectively resolve the problems caused by monkeys and baboons. Speaking at the Agriculture Committee meeting held at Singha Durbar on Wednesday, he urged for the prioritization of scientific research and long-term planning in agricultural policy implementation.
“There should be a dedicated policy for addressing the issues caused by monkeys and baboons. It is not appropriate to react impulsively by simply calling for their culling,” Dhakal clarified.
He also advocated for collaboration with universities to identify challenges in the agricultural sector and propose viable solutions. “Let us request universities to identify the problems within agriculture and recommend solutions accordingly. Similarly, we must emphasize agricultural industrialization as well,” he added.
