FNCCI to hold goodwill meeting

The private sector has once again taken charge of maintaining the social harmony during the bandh by organising a goodwill meeting on Wednesday at Basantapur in Kathmandu.
“The meeting will help to rebuild social harmony among people,” Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) said in a press note.

Frequent bandhs and strikes called by different agitating groups have distorted the social harmony, the umbrella organisation of the private sector said, adding that the meeting will help to strengthen social bonds among diverse groups in the country.

According to FNCCI, district chapters of FNCCI in Kathmandu valley, commodity associations, Federation of Nepalese Journalists, Media Society, Television Broadcasters Nepal, Nepal Bar Association, Hotel Association Nepal (HAN) and other professionals associations will support the meeting.

"People in ‘white t-shirt’ will carry candles and flags and chant anti Bandh slogans,” it said. According to FNCCI, people will display banners written ‘End the bandh culture’, ‘Give constitution in time’ and ‘Lets build social harmony’.

At the end of meeting, participants will light candles in Bashantpur premises.
