Kathmandu, April 20
The Central Working Committee meeting of main opposition Nepali Congress, scheduled to resume on Friday morning, has been postponed.
The party has cited flight obstructions at the Tribhuvan International Airport this morning as the reason behind the postponement. The Airport had shut its runway for around 12 hours from last night as an aircraft belonging to Malindo Air suffered a runway excursion before it was about to take off for Malaysia.
The meeting was postponed as many of its CWC members including senior leader Ram Chandra Paudel could not arrive in Kathmandu on time, the party source informs.
Paudel was in Pokhara along with six other CWC members. Therefore, he had requested the party President Sher Bahadur Deuba to postpone the meeting.
The meeting was expected to appoint Vice-President, General Secretary and Joint General Secretary of the party.
Now, the meeting shall take place on Sunday morning.
