National Assembly Chairman Inspects Under-Construction Federal Parliament Building

Kathmandu. Chairman of the National Assembly, Narayan Prasad Dahal, inspected the under-construction Federal Parliament Building. During the inspection, Chairman Dahal received updates on the status of the National Assembly hall, the House of Representatives hall, and the multipurpose hall, according to his secretariat.

Since the elections for the House of Representatives have concluded, the multipurpose hall is being prepared as the venue for parliamentary sessions because the designated chamber is not ready. Chairman Dahal also inquired about the progress of the multipurpose hall being constructed for the oath-taking ceremony of the newly elected members of the House of Representatives, his secretariat stated.

Officials from the Ministry of Urban Development informed Chairman Dahal on Saturday that the multipurpose hall would be completed for use as an assembly hall by Saturday.

Officials involved in the construction also informed National Assembly Chairman Dahal that the meeting halls for the House of Representatives and the National Assembly would still take another one to two months to be ready.

During the inspection, Chairman Dahal directed that all preparations be made for the oath-taking ceremony of the newly elected members and the subsequent meeting of the House of Representatives.

Chairman Dahal urged for the work to be expedited day and night, stating that the situation should not arise where the entire nation faces embarrassment due to the disarray in the meeting hall.
