KATHMANDU, Sept 14: The Constituent Assembly (CA) has endorsed the continuation of the current national flag with majority votes during clause-wise voting on the constitution bill on Monday. Article 8 of the bill has provision on national flag.

“The national flag of Nepal, as handed down by tradition, consists of two juxta-posed triangular figures with a crimson-colored base and deep blue borders, there being a white emblem of the crescent moon with eight rays visible out of sixteen in the upper part and a white emblem of a twelve rayed sun in the lower part,” reads the article.      


The CA declined amendment proposal registered by lawmaker Raj Kumar Rai to change the national flag.
