Kathmandu. Minister for Science and Technology Innovation, Mahabir Pun, said that the National Forensic Science Laboratory Bill is meant for just one laboratory.
Speaking at a dialogue with specialists within the Education, Health, and Information Technology Committee of the House of Representatives concerning the National Forensic Science Laboratory (Establishment and Operation) Bill, 2081, Minister Pun stated that it is a invoice to function one laboratory and never a invoice to function laboratories throughout Nepal.
Minister Pun stated, ‘We do not know everything except the experts. These are very sensitive matters. Experts have studied the bill in depth. Where the budget will come from. That is the government’s matter, it will be brought. The bill that has come now is only for the forensic science laboratory. This is a bill to operate one laboratory. It is not a bill to operate laboratories across Nepal.’
He said that the scarcity of human sources within the subject of forensic science laboratories in Nepal must be addressed.
Minister Pun stated, ‘The issue of teaching in universities in India came up. We also have many universities. Should we add it there, or train two or three people a year, or if we send them on scholarships initially by agreement with the Indian government, the financial burden will be less.’
In the dialogue, specialists said that legal investigation and justice supply methods needs to be based mostly on scientific and goal proof, and the necessity for an impartial and succesful forensic science laboratory is felt all over the place.
Former Scientific Officer of the National Forensic Science Laboratory, Dr. Om Prakash Sharma, expressed the view that if the age for changing into an government director candidate is ready at 30 or 35 years and the retirement age at 64 or 65 years, then certified people who’ve simply turned 60 years previous can even take part within the competitors, widening the scope of competitors.
Chief of the National Forensic Science Laboratory, Nirajan Thapa, said that because the laboratory is presently working below the Laboratory Development Committee Order, it’s troublesome to amass land within the provinces.
Chief of the Forensic Medicine Department at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Dr. Gopal Chaudhary, stated that it needs to be clear which instances the police will deal with and which instances the forensic science will deal with. He said that there’s a scarcity of human sources associated to forensic drugs in Nepal.
