Kathmandu, January 12
The meeting of the National Assembly will be held at Singha Durbar.
According to Eak Ram Giri, spokesperson for the Federal Parliament Secretariat, the hall of the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee located within Singha Durbar has been arranged to host the National Assembly meeting.
During the Gen-Z movement, the Parliament building in New Baneshwor was also damaged by fire. Following this, arrangements were made to hold the National Assembly meeting at Singha Durbar as an alternative venue.
The Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee hall has been prepared for the Assembly session. Spokesperson Giri said, “Ninety per cent of the work has been completed, and the remaining work will be finished before Magh 4.” The government has already decided to convene the National Assembly meeting on Magh 4. For this purpose, the Cabinet has made a decision and recommended to the President to summon the session.
Under the Constitution, the President summons and prorogues sessions of Parliament on the recommendation of the government. Accordingly, the government has forwarded its recommendation to the President.
The National Assembly meeting is being convened following the Gen-Z movement. The movement took place on Bhadra 23 and 24. After the movement, an interim government was formed and the House of Representatives was dissolved. On the recommendation of the interim government, the President prorogued the National Assembly session on Bhadra 31.
According to the Parliament Secretariat, there are several agenda items for the upcoming National Assembly session, including some bills and ordinances introduced by the government.
In addition, parliamentary committee study reports and annual reports are also on the agenda. Once the session begins, lawmakers may table resolution motions, attention motions, and motions of urgent public importance.
The National Assembly also conducts a direct question-and-answer session with ministers.
