First meeting of CA to convene at BICC

The first meeting of the Constituent Assembly (CA) is to convene at the Sagarmatha main hall of the Birendra International Convention Centre (BICC) at New Baneshwor.

As the current parliamentary building does not accomodate 601 CA memebers having capacity of only 400 persons, BICC was chosen for the
CA meeting.

According to reports, the government is making necessary preparation for the CA to convene at BICC. The 601 membered first sitting of the CA
is due to convene after 21 days of the final results of CA polls.

“The Ministry of Physical Planning and Works will formally recommend to the government within a day or two to hold the CA meet at the BICC as no other appropriate hall that could accommodate all 601 CA members is currently available,” a news report quoted secretary at the ministry Umakant Jha as saying.

The BICC hall is already well furnished and equipped, only a few adjustments like rearrangements of seats, microphones, recording systems and arrangements for media persons and visitors are required.
