A meeting of State Restructuring and Distribution of Power Committee
on Tuesday decided to reccommend a special provision for Dalits and
other marginalised communities in the new constitution. The decision
was made after the members of the committee representing the different
parties agreed on the draft submitted by the sub committee of the
State Restructure Committee under the CA. Under the new provision the
marginalised communities would be granted three percent quota at the
central level and five percent in the state level while in the other
sectors it will be based on the population ratio..
Meanwhile, the ruling party-UML on Tuesday in the same meeting tabled
a concept paper which proposed 15 states—five in Tarai and ten in
Hills and Mountains once the country adopts federalism. The five
states in the Tarai regions comprise Mithila, Bhojpura, Birat, Lumbini
and Tharuhat while the ten states of the Hills and Mountains are Newa,
Tamuwan, Kirat, Limbuwan, Gandaki, Sunkoshi, Karnali, Magarat,
Tamsaling and Khaptad.
