Republic Day Ganatantra Diwas of Nepal

14th Republic Day (Ganatantra Diwas) of Nepal: It has been 13 years since Nepal was declared the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. Republic Day is being celebrated by Nepalis at home and abroad in various ways.

The first meeting of the Constituent Assembly formed from the election held on the basis of Jana Andolan 2062/63 had declared Nepal as a Federal Democratic Republic on 15 Jestha 2065 BS.

The end of the 238-year-long Shah dynasty is celebrated every year as Republic Day. But no formal ceremony has been held this year due to the risk of coronavirus infection. The government has called for celebrating Diwali.

Despite the request to celebrate the Republic as a celebration of the people's victory, the people are not enthusiastic about the situation where they have to lose their lives due to the Corona epidemic without even getting oxygen. There are even comments that the republican system is trapped due to the manipulation of power.

Meanwhile, President Bidya Devi Bhandari has granted amnesty for 430 prisoners on the occasion of the 14th Republic Day on the recommendation of the Council of Ministers.

According to a statement issued by Assistant Spokesperson to the President's Office Keshav Prasad Ghimire, the granted amnesty was given by the President on the basis of Article 276 of the Constitution of Nepal, Article 37 of the Criminal Offenses (Punishment and Enforcement) Act, 2074 BS and the Supreme Court's order of Shrawan 19, 2077 BS.
