A special ceremony was held at the Nepali Army Pavilion, Tundikhel, to mark the Constitution Day on Friday.

The event was attended by President Ramchandra Paudel as the chief guest, along with Prime Minister Sushila Karki, Chief Justice Prakash Man Singh Raut, Speaker Devraj Ghimire, National Assembly Chairman Narayan Prasad Dahal and other dignitaries.

Unlike previous years, when a grand ceremony was organised, this year’s event was scaled down due to the recent political unrest. During the programme, security personnel showcased a march-past.

The third day of the Nepali month of Ashoj, September 19 this year, is celebrated as the Constitution Day as the Constitution of Nepal was promulgated through the Constituent Assembly in 2015. The day is also marked as the National Day.

Here are some photos of the event captured by the Post’s photojournalist Hemanta Shrestha.
