Art. 236 · Part 20

Federal Oversight

संघीय निगरानी
💡Highlight any phrase below and we'll explain what it means.
Original Text

The Federal Government may issue necessary directives to Provincial and Local Governments on matters of national importance, disaster management, and constitutional compliance.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

The federal government retains a supervisory role — it can issue directives to provinces and local governments on national security, disaster response, and constitutional compliance. If a province passes a law violating the Constitution, the federal government can intervene. This is the federation\'s safety valve — decentralization with guardrails.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

संघीय सरकारले राष्ट्रिय महत्त्वका विषयमा प्रदेश र स्थानीय तहलाई निर्देशन दिन सक्छ।

Good Aspects

Ensures national standards are maintained even with decentralized governance.

⚠️ Concerns

\'National importance\' is vaguely defined — the federal government can use it to override provincial autonomy.
