The Election Commission has issued a certificate of party registration to a new political party, Shram Sanskriti Party, led by Harka Sampang, Mayor of Dharan sub-metropolis. 

The EC gave a certificate of party registration to the party today as per Article 4 and 5 of Political Party Act, 2073. 

Out of seven new political parties that had filed applications for registration after the Gen-Z protest, the party led by Sampang is the first one to receive the certificate. 

After receiving the party registration certificate, Sampang said, "We have formed a 28-member working committee. We will work for the country and we are honest towards the nation and people."

Prime Minister Sushila Karki has directed the Board of Directors of the national flag carrier Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) and other top officials to be serious about ending anomalies in the organization.

PM Karki directed the top-level management of the NAC to implement recommendations received at different times from experts for the Corporation's reforms and stated that all stakeholders should work to make the NAC a prideful institution for all.

The PM made such directives to the NAC Board of Directors and top-level officials after inviting them to the Office of the Prime Minister today.

According to the PM's Secretariat, PM Karki asked the officials to maintain good governance, end fiscal irregularities and curb anomalies in different tasks of the NAC including the regular maintenance of aircrafts.     

The PM also directed the officials to work without any political pressure.

On the occasion, the Acting Chairman of the NAC Board of Directors Bikram Rai pledged to bring about reforms and work to ensure results within some days.

Likewise, the Acting General Manager of the NAC, Janakraj Kalakheti, said that the Corporation has a total deficit of more than Rs 17 billion. 

During the meeting, Finance Minister Rameshwore Khanal and Chief Secretary Eaknarayan Aryal were also present.

The Central Working Committee meeting of the Nepali Congress scheduled for today has been postponed. 

The next meeting will be held on November 4, said NC Party Office Chief Secretary Krishna Prasad Poudel.

The party has requested its office bearers, members, invitee members and presidents of all seven provinces to attend the meeting. 

The meeting was put off after the establishment side and factional side could not forge consensus regarding presenting a proposal to announce the date of the party's 15th general convention.  

Earlier, the meeting called for Friday was also deferred.

Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balendra Shah has posted an offensive status targeting major political parties as well as the United States, and neighboring countries—India and China.

In his late-night post on Saturday, Mayor Balen said, “Go to hell, you guys all combined can do nothing.”  The status was deleted shortly afterward. But he was widely criticized for his post.

He named the Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, CPN (Maoist Center), Rastriya Swatantra Party, Rastriya Prajatantra Party, India, the US and China in the statement.

Earlier also, he was embroiled in controversy saying that he would set fire to Singha Durbar.
