Karnali assembly bars two lawmakers who returned from corona-hit constituencies

The provincial assembly of Karnali has barred two lawmakers, who had gone to their coronavirus-hit constituencies, from the House for a week.

Lawmakers Amar Thapa and Sushil Thapa, who represent Dailekh, have been barred from the assembly for a week starting Monday, according to Sushil Thapa. "We had gone to take stock of our constituencies. We held discussion with the health and security personnel, and local level representatives about ways to prevent and manage the pandemic there," Sushil told Setopati. "We have been stopped from going to the House even though we did not visit quarantine facilities there."
