The swab samples of all the lawmakers and employees were collected for testing earlier on Tuesday as the ruling CPN-UML obstructed the assembly meeting demanding PCR tests of the lawmakers.


The ruling side’s obstruction is said to be a time-buy technique as a no-confidence motion against Chief Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung is likely to be endorsed through a majority of votes in the provincial assembly.
