Homework ongoing to receive EPG report, PM says

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said that preparations are ongoing to receive the report of the Eminent Persons Group (EPG) on Nepal-India relations.

In a meeting of the National Concern and Coordination Committee under the National Assembly held today, the PM said internal preparations are initiated to receive the report from both countries at a time.

The lawmakers had expressed their concerns on the EPG report against the backdrop of India’s reluctance to receive the report.

Responding to the lawmakers’ concerns, the PM said a situation could surface to decide on the part of Nepal if there was no condition to receive the EPG report at a time from both sides.

The EPG was formed by the governments of the two countries to review past agreements signed between the two countries.
