The director general of the department, Machakaji Maharjan, said that an application for an extension of the deadline was received from the construction business. The 14th procurement regulation amendment states that the application should be submitted to the relevant office within 30 days of opening the deadline, there is still time left. But the application has not been received,' he said, 'How can the work be done in the additional time, it will be decided only by looking at the schedule.' He said that even if the deadline is repeatedly extended, fines will be imposed from the builders if the work is not done.

After the House of Representatives election of 2079, its construction was started with the goal of holding the first parliament meeting in the new building. The contract was signed on October 16, 2076 saying that it could be built by October 16, 2079. After the work was not completed according to the initial agreement, the deadline was extended for the first time till 30 Chait 2079, but the work was not completed.

Although the deadline was extended for the third time from October 20, 2080 to March 19 of the same year, the work remained slow. After the work was not completed during this period, the deadline was extended till 4th 2081 Chait 18, but the deadline is going to be extended again.

According to Thakur Prasad Gayre, the Chairman of the Implementation Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (Joint) of the Director Principles, Policies and Responsibilities of the State, the builders should ensure that the work is completed within the extended deadline. "After monitoring the site of the Parliament building under construction by the committee, we called the urban development minister, secretary and the project manager and held a meeting," he said. We have asked the committee to come up with a proposal with a working schedule, and we have asked the construction contractor to ensure that work is done in two shifts.''

After the extension of the deadline, the ministry has been asked to send a report to the committee every 15 days according to the nature of the work, Gayre said. "It should be ensured that the winter session is conducted in a new building," he said. "If the project is not completed even if the deadline is extended, who will be responsible?"

"It is time to be ashamed of extending the deadline for the fifth time without building the parliament building in Singha Durbar," Gayre said, "This should end, if this happens in Singha Darbar, how are the development works being completed outside?"

Its contract was taken by Tundi-Sec JV. Suman Subedi, managing director of Tundi Construction, said that although the construction was delayed due to the government not providing the site on time in the early days, there is not much work now. He says that he can work now if he gets one year's time . The deadline for the Parliament building under construction in Singha Durbar is being extended for the fifth time

KC-Shyamsundar-Baniyan JV has taken a separate contract for the interior for 2 billion 34 crore 54 lakh rupees, but the work has not been completed. The contract was signed on June 17, 2080 to complete the work by June 2081. It has expired on 16th Chait 2081. So far the progress is only 25 percent. Apart from the construction of this building, the contract for the interior is separate, according to the special building construction project. It is also said by the building department that it is in the process of expiry.

The government is paying the International Convention Center Development Committee Rs. Secretary of the Ministry of Urban Development, Gopal Sigdel said that both contracts have not been extended. "There is no decision to extend the deadline without the assurance that the work will be completed," he said.
