A Cabinet meeting on Monday evening will announce date for local bodies election, a government minister said.

Forest Minister Shankar Bhandari said the meeting this evening will announce the date after morning meet could not finalise the date for the election.

"We discussed on date for local bodies election. But no conclusion has been reached. Another meeting on the evening will announce the date," he said.

Two ruling parties—Nepali Congress and CPN (Maoist Center)—on Sunday agreed to announce election date in the next Cabinet meeting.

The meeting agreed to forward the constitution amendment bill at the Parliament.

The meeting also suggested the Local Level Restructuring Commission (LLRC) to increase the number of local units. The meeting has asked the commission to submit its report within a week after discussions with stakeholders, experts and considering the dissatisfaction in the Tarai region.
