KATHMANDU, April 10: The session of the House of Representatives is scheduled to continue today at the Parliament House in New Baneshwar, with the meeting set to convene at 11 AM.

According to the Parliament Secretariat, Minister for Industry, Commerce, and Supplies, Damodar Bhandari, is slated to respond to queries posed by lawmakers during today's session.

Similarly, in today's meeting, chairman of the Education, Health and Information Technology Committee, Ammar Bahadur Thapa, is scheduled to present the 'Report of the Committee on Security Printing Bill, 2080 BS'.

According to the Secretariat, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal will present the 'Fifth Annual Report of the National Natural Resources and Fiscal Commission, 2080 BS' during today's session. Additionally, Finance Minister Barshman Pun will propose that the 'Banks and Financial Institutions (First Amendment Bill), 2080 BS' be considered.

Likewise, Minister for Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs, Padam Giri, will propose that the 'Legislative Bill, 2080 BS' originating in the National Assembly be referred to the pertinent committee for clause-wise discussion. Minister Bhandari will also propose that the 'Electricity Trade Bill, 2080 BS' originating in the National Assembly undergo clause-wise discussion. There is an agenda to present these proposals to the relevant committee.
