National Assembly meeting taking place today



KATHMANDU: A meeting of the National Assembly (NA) is taking place today.

The NA meeting was postponed on Sunday due to obstructions from the main opposition party, CPN-UML.

Deliberation on the various headings under the Appropriation Bill will be held today.

Lawmakers will deliberate on the expenditure of the Ministry of Health and Population; Ministry of Communication and Information Technology; Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation; and Ministry of Drinking Water.

Similarly, the expenditure of the Ministry of Finance; the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security; the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology; the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs; and the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development; will also be discussed today.
