The Gandaki State Assembly Building is not in a condition to be used again. 9 buildings including Provincial Assembly Secretariat, meeting room, parliamentary party office, canteen have been damaged. There is confusion as to where the 27th session of Barkhe session will be held after the destruction of the current provincial assembly building. The provincial government is preparing to hold a meeting at the end of October to send the bill related to marijuana, which has been registered in the secretariat, to the relevant committee.
For this, the Speaker, Deputy Speaker and Secretary of the Provincial Assembly are identifying alternative places for the last 3 days . Provincial Health Training Center, Animal Services Training Center, Gandaki Pragya Institute, old airport of Pokhara and one of the meeting halls of District Coordinating Committee Kaski are being discussed to make a temporary Provincial Assembly.
Provincial Assembly Secretary Govind Poudel said that a place to reach some rooms for the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, Chief Minister, Secretary, Working Arrangement Consultative Committee, Parliamentary Party Office and staff is also being sought. There is a matter of holding a meeting to advance the Cannabis Bill. We are preparing to conclude the session at the end of October," he said. Since Pokhara Airport is a structure under the federal government, there is little possibility of holding meetings there. It has been kept as the last priority as it is necessary to obtain permission from the association to use the airport. The secretariat plans to use the infrastructure under the provincial government as much as possible. We have offered some places to Chief Minister Jew. The Council of Ministers should decide to allow the state assembly to be held at this place,' he said. Due to the
movement, 9 buildings of the provincial assembly premises were vandalized and set on fire. Secretary Paudel said that 6 four-wheelers and 13 two-wheelers were set on fire, 49 computers, 19 laptops, 5 cameras, 35 printers, 9 televisions, 3 large photocopy machines, and 44 ACs were damaged. Two private vehicles were also damaged. Secretary Paudel said that due to the agitation, the Provincial Assembly had to suffer a loss of 90 million rupees.
The 27th meeting of the current session was postponed on August 16 to be held on August 25. However, after the protest on August 24, the meeting that was scheduled to be held the next day was postponed indefinitely. Earlier due to covid-19, the session of 077 year was moved outside the current provincial assembly . At that time, the Parliament meeting was held in Pokhara Hall. Now, after the damage to the office of Pokhara Metropolitan Corporation, the Metropolitan Corporation has established a branch in the auditorium. This is the reason why we had to find another place to run the parliament.
The current parliament building targeted by the protesters was built by the Local and Urban Development Training Center in 049. It was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala on October 1, 2004. This building was built by the provincial assembly after the establishment of the provincial structure. This multi-purpose building was built by the then government with the help of the German Technical Corporation (GTD) of the Federal Republic of Germany. After the building became dilapidated and cramped, the state government is constructing a new parliament building at a cost of 250 million from the last financial year.
Urban Development and Building Office Kaski and Shrestha & Sons-East West JV, Nayabaneshwar Kathmandu, for the construction of a building, an agreement was signed on 2537 million 82 thousand 860 rupees on 081 Jan 18. There is an agreement to build a three-storey building within 36 months.
