Kathmandu – Noting the enthusiasm and pressure seen in voter list registration, Prime Minister Sushila Karki has urged the commission to extend the registration deadline.

In a telephone conversation with Acting Chief Election Commissioner Ram Prasad Bhandari on Friday afternoon, the Prime Minister requested an extension.
