Though the parliament at that time was dissolved after failing to promulgate a new constitution which was its objective, Nepal got its’ first republic constitution with federalism in 2015. But the constitution which was adopted in September 2015 divided the country into sections, pushing Madhesh-based parties to go for protest.Every year Nepal celebrates the day with great fervour as it was announced without any bloodshed and which marked a new start for the nation with the adaptation of a new concept of federalism for the development of the nation.
