Emergency time in HoR reduced to 2 minutes

KATHMANDU, Sept 9: The emergency time in the House of Representatives (HoR) has been reduced. Speaker Devraj Ghimire announced that two minutes will be allocated for lawmakers speaking during emergency time, starting from Monday.

Previously, three minutes were allocated for emergency time. Starting Monday, this has been reduced to two minutes.

Rule 15 of the House of Representatives' rules and regulations includes provisions for zero and special time. Emergency time is also included in this provision.

According to Sub-rule 1 of Rule 15, “If a member requests time to draw the government's attention by thumping the desk to a serious event or issue occurring between the previous meeting and the beginning of the current meeting, the Speaker may provide emergency time.”
