Five major political parties have directed the taskforce, formed to study the report of Local Body Restructuring Commission (LBRC), to finalise the report at the earliest.

The directive was issued during a meeting held at Singha Durbar this afternoon, according to Minister for Federal Affairs and Development Hitraj Pandey.

The task force was formed to look after complaints over the report and give suggestions about it to the government.

During the meeting, CPN-UML Vice-Chairman Bhim Rawal cast doubt on the elections.

"The ruling political parties are themselves divided on whether to go for the elections before passing the constitution amendment proposal" he said.

Likewise, CPN (Maoist Centre) leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha informed that the taskforce has been asked to provide suggestions on the report and the government would take proper decisions accordingly.
