Multipurpose Hall Readied for Newly Elected Parliamentarians' Oath Ceremony in Nepal

Kathmandu. The management work for the multipurpose hall of the new federal parliament building for the oath-taking ceremony of the newly elected House of Representatives members is reaching its final stage. The multipurpose hall is being used as an alternative because the main assembly hall of the House of Representatives inside the parliament building is not fully completed for the oath-taking ceremony scheduled for the upcoming Chaitra 12.

According to Babita Mishra, Joint Secretary of the Federal Parliament, arrangements have been made in the multipurpose hall for the Speaker's seat and seating arrangements for the ruling and opposition parties on the right and left sides. The management of everything from chairs to microphones has been completed in the hall, and the work of installing lights and painting is also in the final phase. The Parliament Secretariat is preparing to operate not only the oath-taking ceremony but also the initial meetings of the House of Representatives temporarily from this multipurpose hall.

Meanwhile, keeping in mind the security sensitivity of the oath-taking ceremony, Additional Inspectors General (AIGs) of Nepal Police, Ishwar Karki and Uma Prasad Chaturvedi, conducted an on-site inspection of the newly constructed building. They gathered information regarding potential crowds on the oath-taking day, the movement of VIPs, and overall security management. The two AIGs have also directed subordinate bodies to make traffic management in the area effective alongside security arrangements.

Security agencies and the Parliament Secretariat are playing a coordinating role to make this historic occasion, where newly elected representatives will step into the new parliament building for the first time, grand and secure.
