The Legislature-Parliament Monday approved with a majority the proposal that the parliament discuss the ‘SAARC Framework Agreement (Power) for Energy Cooperation’.

Before this, Energy Minister Janardan Sharma had presented the proposal seeking the parliament ratify it.

Responding to queries raised in course of the discussions in the proposal in the parliament, Minister Sharma argued that the proposal has been brought to solve the energy crisis and it would contribute towards the export of the generated power during the rainy season. He urged the lawmakers to back the proposal.
