Lawyers Suggest CDC Against Changing In Constituency Boundaries

Lawyers have suggested the Constituencies Delineation Commission (CDC ) not to make any significant changes in the existing number and boundaries of electoral constituencies. At a programme organised by the Commission at New Baneshwor on Thursday, they suggested the Commission to continue the 205 electoral constituencies and make little changes on the remaining 35 constituencies. Former Chief Secretary and advocate Tirthaman Shakya said that changes could be made only in the 35 electoral constituencies that were increased as per Article 63 (3) of the Interim Constitution 2007. Nepal Bar Association Chairman Hari Krishna Karki suggested the Commission to move ahead by keeping the previous constituencies as they are, except those which need some changes. Karki said, there is a provision in the constitution for making changes only in the additional constituencies.
