Jamara will be kept this time at Nirmal Niwas, according to information received.
Where to keep jamara and whether to visit temples during dasain will be decided at a meeting Monday; the meeting with secretaries scheduled for Sunday couldn’t take place at Nirmal Niwas because of a strike called by Rashriya Janamorcha.
