Stating that the reconstruction works after the massive twin earthquakes of April and May have been delayed, the head of the government said that the task would be intensified at the earliest.

Prime Minister Oli also paid tribute to known and unknown martyrs who sacrificed their life for the democracy.

He went on to say that the constitution which was promulgated for the first time from people’s elected Constituent Assembly was the result of political movements waged by the people since 1950.
