The meeting of the Legislature-Parliament scheduled for 5 pm on Tuesday has been postponed for 11 am on Wednesday.

A notice has been issued to this effect after the major parties failed to reach a consensus regarding main opposition, Nepali Congress' demands.

Earlier the parliament meet that was scheduled for 3:30 pm had been postponed until 5:00 pm today citing 'special reason', according to Legislature-Parliament secretariat assistant spokesperson Sudarshan Kuinkel.

The main opposition Nepali Congress has been obstructing the House demanding to provide a lump sum of Rs 200,000 to the earthquake survivors while National Reconstruction Authority has been working out to provide it in installment basis as per the agreement signed with donors in this connection.

Earlier, a taskforce comprising the ruling and opposition party leaders was formed to resume the house. The taskforce is working out to find a middle path in this connection. RSS
