The meeting took place at Dahal’s Khumaltar-based private residence focused on matters relating to Nepal’s art and cine sector and other related issues. According to musician Chetan Sapkota who was also present on the occasion, the status of Nepal’s film industry, State’s investment in the relevant field and motivational aspects were among the issues discussed during the meeting.
