The ‘People’s Constitution of Nepal’ has 82 clauses. The rally started and ended in Ratna Park; in the central part of Kathmandu.

The ceremony was hosted by Anil Sharma ‘Birahi’, politburo member of CPN Maoist. The draft of the constitution was read by Santosh Budha Magar; another politburo member and former chief of the state of Magarat during the people’s war.
