KATHMANDU, MARCH 10

The meeting of the House of Representatives today passed a condolence proposal on the death of former and incumbent lawmakers on different dates.

Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota had presented the condolence motion on the demise of 14 former and incumbent lawmakers in the meeting and the House approved it unanimously.

The meeting also observed a minute of silence praying for eternal peace to the departed souls.

The HoR passed the condolence motion on the demise of its members Sanu Shiwa and Surya Bahadur KC and former MPs Deepak Bahadur Gurung, Dr Ram Man Shrestha, Manpur Chaudhary, Bir Bahadur Lama, Omkar Prasad Gauchan, Indrahang Limbu, Bhim Prasad Gautam, Kaman Singh Lama, Ganga Datta Joshi, Eknath Ranabhat, Kuber Prasad Sharma and Dr Shankar Prasad Uprety.
