KATHMANDU: The standing committee meeting of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) has finally begun. The meeting is being conducted at the Prime Minister's official residence in Baluwatar. Co-chair of the party Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is also present at the meeting with his contemporary, party's other co-chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal, after much speculation today. Oli and Dahal had met this afternoon prior to the standing committee meeting. The two co-chairs held a discussion to dilute the dispute that has been afflicting the party. Although the standing committee meeting was scheduled to begin at 1:00 pm today, it only commenced a while ago.
