Ruling coalition fails to finalize distribution of metropolises and sub metropolises



KATHMANDU: A meeting of the ruling coalition has failed to reach an agreement to finalize the distribution of  metropolis and sub-metropolises on Monday.

The meeting of the ruling coalition met twice throughout the day but failed to reach an agreement, said Nepali Congress leader and Minister for Communications and Information Technology Gyanendra Bahadur Karki.

He added that the meeting would resume on Tuesday as well.

“We could not finalize candidates in all the places and will be meeting again at 11 on Tuesday,” he said.
