Unnecessary political interference

Unnecessary political interference

It is sad to see the government’s apathy towards the demands made by Dr. Govind KC, who is on hunger strike for the last twelve days, against the political interferences in the management of Institute of Medicine (IOM). It is not new for the people to remember that DR. KC had staged similar hunger strike demanding the end of political interferences in the internal matters of IOM. The previous government was made compelled to listen to and fulfil his demands.

Thousands have shown solidarity with his demands. The resident and MBBS doctors have already stopped attending the outpatients department services in support of Dr’ KC’s demands. This situation has gravely affected the patients visiting the TUTH for seeking the treatment. Now, the Nepal Medical Association (NMA) has extended its support and given a 24-hour ultimatum to the concerned authorities to address his demands as reported in “Doctors threatened nationwide strike” (THT, 18 Jan. Page 1). After Regmi’s strong instruction, TU Board has sacked Dean S. Sharma. However, Dr. KC has said that his hunger strike will continue until all his demands are met.

It has been an open secret for everybody to see the political interferences in the semi government organizations and institution in the last five or six years for their (political parties) vestigial interest. These unwanted practices have completely undermined the existence and damaged the credibility of these organizations and institutions and should be completely and immediately stopped. For God’s sake, please keep them away from dirty politics and let them run in their capable and experienced hands.

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. The most common diagnoses include major depressive disorder , schizophren...

Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously

Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously The people are tired of politicians who make wonderful promises but have miserably failed to fulfill their rosy promises. As a result, they seem to be gradually losing their credibility by days. However, having said that, the level of political awareness among the majority number of the people is still low which has been the advantage for the politicians to lure them towards their irresponsible and dirty politics. In the recent past weeks, we saw thousands of innocent people out in the streets to cheer up the so-called senior leaders who have miserably failed to lead the nation. We can see now the senior leaders and their parties are busy in forming another coalition government following the Supreme Court’s decision to nullify the unification of NCP a few days ago thus splitting the CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist. It was, in fact, a huge legal blow to them. This situation has created another political chaos in the country which might in...

A Legend Falls: Remembering Mountaineering Icon Nirmal Purja

The mountaineering world has lost one of its brightest, most unstoppable lights. It is with a profoundly heavy heart that I wish to express my profound grief over the tragic passing of Nirmal “Nimsdai” Purja, who lost his life alongside his brave crew in a devastating avalanche on Broad Peak, Pakistan. To say Nimsdai was a legend is an understatement. He was a force of nature who redefined the absolute limits of human endurance and capability. From shattering world records by climbing all 14 of the world’s highest peaks in just six months, to leading the historic first winter ascent of K2, he showed the world that "nothing is impossible." More importantly, he brought long-overdue pride, global recognition, and respect to the Nepali climbing and Sherpa community. Nims now rests eternally among the giant peaks he loved and conquered so fiercely. His fearless spirit, boundless energy, and ultimate motto—"Giving up is not in the blood"—will live on forever in the h...
