RM centre decided thru vote

Phidim, December 26

The Centre of Falelung Rural Municipality was decided through voting in Panchthar, today.

Thakepung has been determined as the centre of Falelung Rural Municipality. A dispute over the rural municipality centre had broken out among elected representatives though the State Restructuring Commission had suggested making Machhebung the RM centre.

Representatives elected from CPN-Maoist Centre and CPN-UML had insisted on keeping the centre at Thakepung while NC representatives had preferred Machhebung.

Voting was conducted after the dispute. Of the 41 representatives who voted, 24 votes were cast for Thakepung while 17 were cast for Machhebung.
