KATHMANDU, Jan 31: The members of parliament (MPs) belonging to two committees of the House of Representatives are going to visit India, instead of holding discussions on the bills. One team of MPs has already left for India while another is preparing to leave. The parliamentarians are going to India with the support of the Indian government.
The MPs of the Agriculture, Cooperative and Natural Resources Committee have said that a team of doctors and parliamentarians is going to India's Himachal Pradesh to study the control of monkey populations through castration.

Meanwhile, members of the International Relations Committee left for India on Tuesday with the dual objective of fostering parliamentary diplomacy and promoting tourism. The team, consisting of eight MPs and a total of 11 members, plans to return to Nepal just two days after the scheduled reconvening of the House of Representatives on February 7, despite the parliamentary session commencing on February 5.
While the Speaker has urged the parliamentary committees to focus on discussing and finalizing bills, some MPs are currently engaged in the Indian visit. Specifically, the Agriculture, Cooperative, and Natural Resources Committee, accompanied by 10 veterinarians and five forest rangers, is heading to India to address concerns raised within parliamentary and committee meetings regarding the issue of monkey-terror, emphasizing the need for control measures.
