Interim Arrangements
Until federal, provincial, and local governments are fully formed under the new Constitution, existing administrative arrangements shall continue.
Building a three-tier federal system from scratch takes time. Until all 7 provinces and 753 local governments were fully operational (which took until 2017 for local elections and 2018 for provincial elections), the old centralized system continued running. This prevented a governance gap during the years-long transition from unitary to federal Nepal.
संघीय, प्रदेश र स्थानीय सरकार पूर्ण रूपमा गठन नभएसम्म विद्यमान प्रशासनिक व्यवस्था कायम।
Pragmatic approach — didn\'t force immediate federalism before institutions were ready.
Transition period lasted longer than expected; some areas effectively had no elected local government for nearly 20 years.
