According to the Provincial Assembly Secretariat, the meeting has become uncertain as the damaged structure has not been repaired and managed and there are no other options for holding the meeting.
The Provincial Assembly meeting has not been able to be held after the Sudurpaschim Provincial Assembly building was damaged during the Gen-G movement on Bhadra 24.
The work of repairing and managing the damaged Provincial Assembly building and other structures has not yet begun. According to the Provincial Assembly Secretariat, the damaged structures have not been repaired and managed and there is no alternative place to hold the meeting, making the meeting uncertain.
Speaker Bhim Bahadur Bhandari said that discussions are underway to repair the structure and manage the necessary materials. He said that the tables, chairs, computers, laptops, and other items in the Provincial Assembly meeting room were destroyed by fire, and only after their management will the environment for the meeting be prepared.

According to the Secretariat, six four-wheelers and five motorcycles of the Provincial Assembly have been destroyed in the arson. There has been material damage worth about Rs 120 million.
Secretary of the Secretariat Dev Bahadur Bogati said that there is a problem of resources for repairing the building and managing the necessary technical materials. He said that it is estimated that at least Rs 5 million will be spent on repairing the Provincial Assembly meeting room and managing the necessary materials alone.
