April 15, 2012: as the army integration has taken a final shape, leaders of four power centers such as UCPN-Maoist, NC, CPN-UML and UDMF have been sitting together to sort out the disputed issues of a new constitution. They have taken a shelter at the Hattiban Resort in Kathmandu since Sunday afternoon to hammer out a deal on a new constitution. They have two more days to work on the disputed areas of a new constitution following the deadline set by Business Advisory Committee of the parliament. So, they have been staying at the resort overnight to reach a deal.
