Nepal plans bulk amendments to 110 existing laws to meet constitutional deadlines

In a landmark move, the Government of Nepal has registered a new bill for amendments contradicting with the constitutional provisions. The government has put forward the proposal to amend 56 laws that are against the constitutional rules promulgated in 2015.
