Art. 164 · Part 13

Provincial Police

प्रदेश प्रहरी
Original Text

Each Province may have a Provincial Police force under the direction and control of the Provincial Government, as provided by provincial law.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

Each province can have its own police force controlled by the provincial government. This is a major federalism provision — law enforcement isn\'t all run from Kathmandu. Provincial police handle day-to-day policing within the province while Nepal Police handles national security matters. The provincial CM, not the federal Home Minister, directs provincial police.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

प्रत्येक प्रदेशमा प्रदेश प्रहरी — प्रदेश सरकारको नियन्त्रणमा। दैनिक सुरक्षाको जिम्मेवारी।

✅ Strengths

Local accountability — provincial police answer to elected provincial leaders, not distant Kathmandu.

⚠️ Concerns

Provincial police forces are still being established; coordination with Nepal Police remains unclear in many areas.
