WASTE NO TIME

According to the Election Commission (EC), local polls were held peacefully and overall 70.5 percent voters cast their votes (“Phase II polls see 70.5 pc voter turnout” June 29, Page 1). This enthusiastic turnout of voters will definitely put pressure on the ruling parties and the opposition to think about ways to bring disgruntled parties on board for the third phase of local elections.

The current government and the one before it decided to hold the local level elections in phases with the intention of bringing the Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal (RJP-N) on board. However, RJP-N leaders will not participate in the polls until their demands are addressed. This confrontation among political parties has come to such a point that there does not seem any alternative except to come to consensus by softening political stances.

The Deuba led government has scheduled the third phase in province 2 on September 18. If all the concerned political parties continue to play blame games, the chances of bringing the disgruntled parties on board seem dismal. If the government fails to hold the third phase polls, it cannot hold the remaining two tiers of polls by January 2018 as required by the new constitution. I hope all the major political parties including RJP-N realize their crucial political roles at this critical time, reach a consensus, amend the constitution and hold the polls successfully paving the way for the constitution’s implementation.

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...
