Xinhua, September 18, 2015 Adjust font size:

Chairman of Nepal's Constituent Assembly (CA) Subhas Nembang on Friday put a final signature on the new constitution which is due to be promulgated on Sunday.

The much-delayed constitution will come into effect on September 20 once it is unveiled by President Ram Baran Yadav amid a special function to be organized at the Constituent Assembly building in the Nepalese capital.

The constitution-making body endorsed the constitution bill with an overwhelming two-thirds majority on Wednesday.

According to the constitution, Nepal will have seven provinces and each with its own legislature.
