</p><p>On the occasion, the President also expected that the concerned
bodies would implement the report for the execution of the
constitutional provision regarding the linguistic issues.
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>The report states that the tasks regarding the languages were not
taken ahead as per the constitutional spirit. There has been no
progress on the multi-lingual policy in the federal, provincial and
local levels.
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>Commission Chair Awasthi said the report had drawn the attention
of the government regarding the decreasing numbers of the Nepali
language users.
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>The provinces are yet to decide on the provincial languages. The
commission was formed to recommend developing and preserving the
languages of the nation after holding the study and research in the
areas.
