KATHMANDU:  The CPN-UML has decided to slash the number of representatives fixed for the statute convention.

Earlier, the party had selected 3000 representatives for its statute convention. Now, the party has decided to slash the number.

It has been learnt that there will be seven representatives including the office bearers of the district committee and five representatives will take part from the central department. Earlier, the party had decided to select 10 representatives from the central department.

Preparations are underway to slash the number from other departments as well.
