Acting PM Singh calls all-party meeting



KATHMANDU: An all-party meeting has been called today at the request of Acting Prime Minister Prakashman Singh.

The meeting will take place at 1:00 pm at the Prime Minister’s office in Singha Durbar.

The purpose of the meeting is to address the pressing issues of floods, landslides, and other disasters resulting from incessant rain.

According to the secretariat, all branches of the government are fully mobilized to support individuals and families affected by the disaster, working through the National Emergency Operations Center and the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority.
