Eight District Advisory Councillors from the Nausori area have raised serious concerns regarding drainage problems, feeder roads, blocked culverts, informal settlements and use of drugs with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Professor Biman Prasad.

While speaking on drugs, Professor Prasad says this is not only scary but worrying as children are involved in it.

He says not only the Government, but parents and community members should be involved in combating the problem at hand.

Professor Prasad assured the present stakeholders of his support in ironing out the issues raised and assured them of his support.

He also explained some aspects of the 2024-25 National Budget to the community members and stakeholders and how it works.

Professor Prasad says the Coalition Government is for the people and is here to assist and provide relief for them.

The Ministry says more talanoa sessions with stakeholders and grassroots people is expected to be held in the coming days.
