Party Action Lifted: 14 Leaders Rejoin Nepali Congress

The Nepali Congress (NC) has decided to withdraw party action against 14 leaders who were elected from the provincial assembly election held in November last year and the local body election held in March last year. The decision was taken during the central working committee meeting of the party, as confirmed by NC General Secretary Bishwo Prakash Sharma.
