Kathmandu, 4 May: We don't have to look so far to see what happens when the country's foreign exchange reserves decline. It is enough to look at the nearby Sri Lanka. The country is currently in the throes of an economic crisis. Sri Lankans are struggling hard to buy essential medicines, food and petroleum products. Our condition is deteriorating day by day. Expenditure has become more than the source of foreign exchange income. The government has announced various programs to reduce foreign exchange expenditure. However, the number of government officials going abroad has skyrocketed. Meanwhile, Minister for Communications and Information Technology Gyanendra Bahadur Karki has left for a 10-day long foreign trip. He is accompanied by seven other members to Africa.
