Kathmandu, May 27: Nepali Congress General Secretary Dr Shashanka Koirala today viewed that the local level elections were necessary for the implementation of the constitution.
Addressing the concluding programme of Silver Jubilee of Nepal Press Union in the Capital, he expressed hope that the second phase of the local level polls would take place, the constitution be amended and Parliament’s hurdles ended.
Similarly, NC central committee member and Health Minister Gagan Thapa stressed the need for forming a consensus government under NC’s leadership, viewing that CPN-UML, a part of the constitution writing, should also join the new government.

Likewise, speakers like lawmaker Ramhari Khatiwada and President of the Federation of Nepali Journalists Dr Mahendra Bista pointed out the need for making journalism decent, professional and credible.
