Kathmandu, Nepal: The much more anticipated Cabinet meeting which was earlier scheduled for 4:30 pm today has been postponed for Wednesday, thanks to the parties for the failure to reach on consensus.

Earlier Prime Minister and Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba had made a plan to hold discussions with the leaders of the major parties before taking decision about the chief of the provinces and the provincial capitals through the scheduled cabinet meeting.   

It is said that the meeting was postponed for Wednesday after Prime Minister Deuba’s efforts to forge inter-party consensus regarding the twin issues could not materialize. It is said that the cabinet meeting has now been rescheduled for Wednesday morning.

The ongoing delaying process to appoint the province chief and the provincial capitals has not only widened the differences among the parties but also hinted to create complications to hold the scheduled national assembly elections.
