KATHMANDU -- The elections to the Constituent Assembly (CA) have been stalled in four districts of Baglung, Chitwan, Mahottari and Siraha out of total 75 districts of Nepal, local leading news website eKantipur reported on Thursday.
While the voting is being held peacefully in Nepali capital Kathmandu on Thursday morning, voting process for the CA has been put off in the Charkura Village Development Committee (VDC) of Baglung constituency-2, some 180 km west of Kathmandu, according to the report.
The election was put off after political parties began protesting, saying that the activists of People's Front Nepal, one of the ruling parties among Seven-party Alliance, cast their ballots more than once.
The situation in Sangram VDC of Baglung constituency-1 was tense on Thursday morning since the abduction of around a dozen agents of the Nepali Congress, the largest ruling party in the Nepali Interim Parliament, on Wednesday night. The voting process began in the area only after the deployment of Armed Police Force personnel.
Meanwhile, voting process in the poll booth set up at Meghauli in Chitwan, some 85 km south of Kathmandu, has been stalled.
