Doubts

Time is running fast for the government and so called big parties for timely addressing the demand of Adhikari couple who are on hunger strike for a long time and have been refusing medical treatment at the Bir Hospital as reported in “Couple on hunger strike seeks action” (THT, 29 August, Page 2). It is a pity that these old parents have been forced to stage fast unto death seeking justice from the state against the brutal killing of their younger son in Chitawan district during the ten year long Maoist insurgency. Before the Adhikari couple had taken such a bold step, none of the concerned agencies, human right activists, civil rights activities and political leaders had shown any concern for their plight. What a pity?

Does the Regmi led government have the guts to give justice to the Adhikari couple? Why they didn’t book the culprits as soon as the writ petition from the couple was submitted to the concerned offices? What is the intention behind of not taking initiatives of not speeding up the investigation process? Why had the government waited for so long to take the decision of instructing the Chitawan police office to start the investigation process? Many such questions and concerns can be raised also against the NC and UML leaders who speak about the human rights violations.

Causes and consequences of self-immolation

  Self-immolation—the act of setting oneself on fire—is one of the most extreme, painful, and lethal forms of self-harm and suicide. Globally, it represents a profound intersection of psychiatric distress, intense social strain, and political expression. Causes of Self-Immolation: The underlying motivations for self-immolation vary significantly across different regions, cultures, and socioeconomic demographics. ·      Political and Ideological Protest: In Western nations and certain East Asian histories, self-immolation is highly associated with political statement. Individuals use it as a highly visible, shocking public act to draw attention to perceived systemic injustices, war, or government policy. ·      Severe Psychiatric Illness: Globally, a vast majority of individuals who attempt self-immolation suffer from severe, often untreated mental health conditions.

2083/84 budget at a glance

2083/84 budget at a glance The Balen led government , which is almost two-thirds majority government secured in the March 2026 elections , has announced its annual budget 2,124.34 billion on May 29, 2026, as the largest budget in Nepal's history, representing a 25.2 present increase over the revised estimates of the current fiscal year 2082/83.  Most of the financial experts and economic analysts opine that this budget, although optimistic, has broadly, boldly and wisely covered key and major aspects of the national all round development. Huge tax reforms , massive infrastructure allocations, transformative sectoral policies, 7 percent targets on economic growth and inflation capped at 6 per cent are the key aspects of the highly optimistic budget. This shows a departure from a decade of political instability toward productive governance. It has included first sovereign AI computing centre, doubling of personal income tax exemption thresholds , 21 percent civil servant sal...
