Nepal government has banned strikes on Telecom services and 24 other services. The government has added services related to telephone and internet in Essential Services and enforced the fresh ruling.

The Ministry of Home Affairs declared the ruling in accordance with subsection 1 of Section 3 in the Essential Services Operation Act 2014. The ruling now will deem strikes or bandh that compromise the flow of telephone or internet services including others, a criminal act subject to prosecution of the instigators.

The decision to issue a strike ban on 25 essential services came following a recent meeting of the Council of Ministers.

Likewise, the government also bans strikes on banking, insurance, insurance, electricity, storage, and distribution of consumer products. This includes staple items such as grains, edible oil, salt, etc. The ruling also applies to electricity distribution, weather, and flood forecast, warning information systems during possible disasters, hand sanitizer, veterinary service, etc.

The no-strike ban also applies to government press, services related to defense affairs, arms, ammunition, or manufacturing of goods and services which concern national security, and communication.

Declaring a ban on strike on essential services will keep the distribution of vital services going. Besides, it will discourage any unwanted interferences from dissenting individuals or groups.

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
