The Bill was tabled by the former government in the then parliament to facilitate reconstruction operation following the April 25 earthquake’s massive devastation on physical infrastructures.
Although the meeting was to deliberate on the report prepared by the Sub-Committee, it ended inconclusively after the differences of opinion simmered between the two parties.
The NC accused that the Bill had not been approved yet in lack of ruling party’s cooperation although the high-powered Reconstruction Authority had already expedited some structural operation by appointing Executive Director in the Authority.
The main opposition Party has been disagreeing on the selection of a new Executive Director in the Authority’ proposed by the ruling parties to further it in a new way.
As the discord between two parties flared up, it turned out to be an uphill task for the Committee’s Chairman Ganga Chaudhary and the Chief Whip of respective parties to douse it.
Now the NC is slated to hold a meeting with Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli tomorrow in an attempt to forge a consensus on the same.
Chairperson Chaudhary said that the process on the Reconstruction Bill had been stagnant as no political common ground was found between the ruling and opposition party so far.
The next meeting of the Committee is scheduled on November 22 at 8:00 am, according to her.
“If Sunday’s meeting also fails to draw conclusion on the Bill, the Sub-Committee will send its report to the Legislature-Parliament on Sunday itself,” shared Chaudhary. RSS
