The Government decided to hold the NA election
on February 7. A meeting of the Council of Ministers held at Prime
Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba's official residence in Baluwatar
took a decision to this effect, said Minister for Finance Gyanendra
Bahadur Karki.
The Government decided to extend the tenure of
CIEDP and TRC by a year. A decision to this effect was taken in
a meeting of the Cabinet. Terms of TRC and CIEDP end on February
10.
TRC's office in Province-1 has failed to meet
its target in investigating the complaints related to the serious
human rights violation during the Maoist insurgency. "The Commission
had been entrusted with the investigation of 1,207 cases in the
first phase but as there were elections one after another, we
have so far investigated only 285 cases and sent them back to
the commission's central office," Investigation expert Mina Sedain
said.
