Rotten seed

Rotten seed

It is yet to see as to when the government and its machinery become responsible in providing quality services to the people. The carelessness of its service outlets continue to persist defaming the government in its assurance of providing quality and timely services to the people. Recently, the media reports continue to draw people’s attention about the substandard foods and seeds provided to the general public in many parts of the country in the name of relief materials. Recently, the rice provided by the government in some of the quake affected areas of Sindhupalchowk district was found to be rotten beyond use.

Another news is that of farmers being distributed rotten paddy seeds in Dhading district. The paddy seed was provided by the World Health Organization (WHO). Why is this frequently happening in the name of providing relief materials? Is there any involvement of irregularities? If so, what is the concerned organization doing to prevent such irresponsible acts? Why are they delaying in punishing the culprit?

THT deserves appreciation and needs to be more vigilant keeping its eyes wide opened to find out such irresponsible activities and making the readers and general public informed to protect the innocents from being deceived by the government and other organizations.

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 .

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...
