Adjusted employees at the province and local levels are no longer in the civil service. The Federal Civil Service Act, which is under consideration in the Federal-Parliament, has proposed that the employees who have been integrated into the province be employees of the provincial civil and local level.

Employees at the province and local level have complained that the civil servants have been lured to the state and local level by eliminating the civilian employees. Kedar Prasad Devkota, president of the Nepal Civil Service Organization, said that none of the employees at the state and local level were satisfied. He said, "I was chosen for integration. I was a junior. I was adjusted at the local level."

Devkota has now been integrated into the Balefi Rural Municipality of Sindhupalchowk (Balefi Gaupalika). The Act has made provision for employees to come to the union only by promotion at the province and local level. According to Devkota, 20 thousand people apply for promotion for 10 posts in the union but 10 will return to the union but the rest will be unfair.

They complain that unemployed employees are unfairly accommodated for the staff as the Act provides for them to remain in service in the local and state until retirement.

As the government does not scientifically adjust staffing, the staff office does not have a lot of living space, the lack of staff at the remote local level has disrupted service delivery. Devkota said, "The government has brought in a number of excuses from the government to accommodate the workers at the local level, so the remote local level has become vacant.

Vice-president of the Nepal Civil Society's Union and Chairman of the province 3, Eknarayan Kafle, said the government has disguised the employees in the name of employee integration.

He said, "There has been confusion as to whether the local and state-integrated staff will get the services they are receiving in accordance with the Civil Act yesterday. How should a service provider handle the service when it concerns its own future? "

He argued that if there was an employee adjustment only after the creation of the State Civil Act and the Local Service Act, it would not be a problem now. According to the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration, there are now 39533 employees in the union, 13790 in the province, 31708 civil servants at the local level, 11718 of local bodies, 317 employees working in various committees and establishments.

The Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration has said that the problems of all the employees will be resolved in a gradual manner. The spokesperson of the Ministry, Bhopal Baral, said that the problems of all employees will be resolved after the Federal Civil Service Act, the Provincial Civil Service Act, and the Local Service Act are created. He said that it was natural for some problems to be made while adjusting, adding that the problems of civil servants would not last long.
