But Tuesday’s Finance Committee meeting omitted the project stating that it was not possible immediately. “The project has been omitted with a thought that it is impossible in our present context.
It shall be inserted when necessary,” said Surendra Aryal, secretary of the Finance Committee. The committee completed clause-wise discussion on the bill on Tuesday.
