Though all parties remained positive to run the province assembly meeting, the all-party meeting did not come up with a concrete decision to that end.

The meeting tomorrow is expected to make efforts to patch up the conflict between the ruling and opposition parties.

Likewise, main opposition CPN-UML's Bagmati Province parliamentary party leader Jagannath Thapaliya said efforts were underway to build consensus.
