The CPN-UML has announced a ‘Mission Grassroots’ campaign aimed at the ideological and organisational strengthening of the party.

A secretariat meeting of the party held on Thursday decided to hold the two-month-long campaign from February 13.

During the campaign, central committee members will stay at the local levels for two months and work according to the 11 action plans determined by the party, the UML said in a statement.

Pradeep Gyawali, UML’s deputy general secretary, said the party will move forward in a new way after the conclusion of the campaign.

The meeting also concluded that the incumbent government ‘formed on the initiative of the party’ has created across-the-board enthusiasm among the people.
