Stop foreign junkets now

It was indeed encouraging to read “Nembang to clip CA members’ wings” (THT, 12 May, Page 1) at such a crucial time when the lawmakers are supposed to spend their valuable time on drafting a new constitution rather than go on foreign trips in the name of acquiring first hand knowledge about federal structures. It seems that the CA Chairperson has timely realized his past mistakes for letting members set out for foreign junkets hampering the completion of their major task. In fact, the foreign diplomats should have also realized that inviting CA members to visit their countries would hamper the drafting of new constitution and acted accordingly.

However, we cannot blame them only for organizing such unproductive trips. Our CA members should have realized themselves about their prime responsibilities. Also, the CA Chairperson should put stringent rules in black and white for the CA members regarding foreign trips and other relevant jobs forcing them to strictly abide by it. Otherwise, requesting foreign diplomatic missions not to arrange any trips to their countries might not be the potential solutions unless our CA members behave and act themselves responsibly. In the erstwhile CA, many unproductive foreign junkets were made by them. Some of them had made even a dozen such trips leaving behind their chairs in the CA most of the time empty.

The people are keenly watching and observing every CA member’s activities this time and patiently waiting for Magh 8, 2071, the day all the political parties have promised to give a new constitution. It does not seem that they (the people) will this time easily let the leaders of major political parties off for any lame excuses. The level of frustration among the common people has risen so high that they (political parties) should not undermine it for their own existence.

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...
