Many local entrepreneurs in Morang district have demanded introduction of one-door policy for the registration, establishment and operation of the industries.
They argued that introduction and implementation of one-day policy was imperative for establishing industries and attracting foreign investment.
While many local industries have been shut down in Morang and Sunsari districts which saw the establishment of industries for the first time in the country, 199 production-based industries-small, medium and big- are running in these two districts, according to the Chamber of Industries, Morang chapter.
They consider it a misfortune that although workers’ movement had played an important role in the political history of the country, the industries were being closed owing to various reasons.
Lack of proper physical infrastructures, repeated political instability, unavailability, extortion and strikes, shutdown among others impeded the growth of the industries, the entrepreneurs opine.
