It is learnt the political parties are engaged in discussions aimed at endorsing the constitution on May 29. According to a source, with understanding that the failure to promulgate the constitution even by May 29 would lead to more confusion in the country, the parties have been holding informal talks with probability of reaching a conclusive point soon. Meanwhile, Constituent Assembly Chair Subash Nemwang has claimed that the constitution making process would witness a decisive point at the next meeting of the CA. Talking to media-persons at his own office in Singha Durbar today, Nemwang said the CA meeting, after being summoned, would not be postponed indefinitely henceforth. Saying the status quo could continue till infinity, he added that the meeting would only be deferred after reaching a concrete point now.

According to the progress report publicized by Chairman of the Parliament's Development Committee Rabindra Adhikari today, 41.18 per cent of works have been completed on the Pushpalal Mid-hilly roadway. The projects which have zero progress so far are expansion of Bhairahawa Airport, Pashupati Area Development Trust, construction of international airport in Bara and West-Seti Hydropower Project. Works on Melamchi drinking Water Project, considered fast paced, are only 6.83 per cent complete, while 33.33 per cent of works on Tamakoshi Hydropower Project have been completed.
