Parliament Hall Construction Nears Completion

Kathmandu. The construction of the new House of Representatives hall inside the under-construction parliament building at Singhdarbar has reached the final stage. Although most of the structural work of the hall is completed, the work of installing the microphone and sound system is still pending, the construction side informed. However, a definite date for the completion of the construction work has not yet been set.

Despite the deadline being extended several times, Speaker DP Aryal inspected the under-construction parliament hall on Asar 1 due to delays in work. He, along with the staff of the Parliament Secretariat, instructed to provide an exact date for the completion of the construction immediately. He also warned of a fine of up to one crore rupees per day if the work is not completed on time.

During the inspection, he instructed the Minister and Secretary of Urban Development to complete the work immediately and said, "You have to fulfill what you have said by working day and night. You are making excuses. This is not only an insult to us but also to the nation. Now I want a clear conclusion."

As the construction work has not been completed, the meeting of the House of Representatives has been operating from a temporary hall. Preparations are being made to conduct parliamentary meetings regularly here once the new assembly hall is ready. Photo: Nepal Photo Library
