Prime Minister Balendra Shah largely absent as Parliament wraps up session

Prime Minister Balendra Shah maintained a limited presence during the most recent session of Nepal's Parliament, attending the House of Representatives for six days and the National Assembly for a single session. His absences occurred throughout a period where lawmakers frequently requested his direct input on critical national issues.

The matters raised by parliamentarians during the session included the government's response to recent floods, ongoing border disputes, and broader foreign policy concerns. The Prime Minister's lack of attendance drew attention as legislators sought his formal responses to these legislative and public policy challenges.
