Speaking at a press conference on Friday, NC Spokesperson Devraj Chalise said that around 100 digital boards have started disseminating information and message regarding the general convention.
He said, “Thousands of people are missing due to natural calamities. Hundreds of families have been separated. Hundreds of children have become orphans. In this context, the party has decided not to make any fuss in the name of publicity in the general convention to be held. Apart from a main gate, no other publicity material will be hung in the city market at the venue. Therefore, from September 3, information and messages related to the 15th general convention have been started to be disseminated from about 100 digital boards in the major cities and markets of the country including the Kathmandu Valley.
