On September 18, 2009, Minister for Commerce and Supply Rajendra Mahato has said that the government has been working hard not to let the shortage of foodstuff in the market during the Dashain festival.

Every Hindu family anticipates eating at least a meal of rice and meat during the Dashain festival; however, for the people in the remote areas, rice has been off-limits thanks to the government’s incompetence.
