Government proposes to sort out demarcation disputes through commission

The government has proposed the United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) unhappy with some provisions within the constitution to sort out contentious issues except the demarcation of provinces through the constitution amendment before upcoming local election.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal during his meeting with UDMF leaders and representatives of other political parties carrying the Madhes agenda at Singha Durbar today, proposed to endorse the constitution amendment bill before upcoming local-level election by leaving out the issue of demarcation and settle it by forming a commission. The UDMF informed the Prime Minister that it will sit for an internal meeting today itself to take a decision regarding his proposal.

Sadbhawana Party Chair Rajendra Mahato said the UDMF will sit for an internal meeting to decide how to respond the government proposal.
