Answering the questions raised on the bill earlier, Minister Acharya said that the bill has been introduced to manage drinking water and sanitation in the state. During the debate on the bill, Provincial Assembly member Meen Prasad Gurung said that drinking water and sanitation are important for human life and that it is indispensable for healthy citizens of prosperous provinces. He also added that the bill was made using the single right of the province.
