But that is not the reality. It’s all because the supply has increased,” said Dahal.</p> <p>The government had spent only Rs 793 billion out of the total budget of Rs 1048 in the last fiscal year.</p> <p>The government had raised internal loan of Rs 88.34 billion in fiscal year 2016/17 to meet the budget deficit.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2017-08-28', 'modified' => '2017-08-28', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '6273', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2017-08-28 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 14 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '6486', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Internet Service in Everest Base Camp', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'Internet service is now available at the Everest Base Camp.
