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.

January 7

CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli and CPN-Maoist Centre Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal held talks and agreed to intensify their efforts to unify their two parties.
