Towards bankruptcy


 Towards bankruptcy

It seems that the downfall of Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) is not too far considering its past and current operational and management performance. NAC formerly known as Royal Nepal Airlines country Corporation (RNAC) is the flag carrier of Nepal. Founded in 1958, it is the oldest airline of the country. However, its management always remained to be controversial due to direct or indirect interventions of the past and present governments. It used to be and has been made a milking cow by both the political leaders, ministers and bureaucrats. Its management always found to be involved in corruption scandals.   




Soon after it acquired six Chinese aircraft six years ago, NAC has been incurring a huge loss. The current loss has reached nearly Rs. 2 billion, mostly in insurance and operational costs. If the NAC management does not come up with a realistic plan and program in near future to handle its debt, the future of NAC is in limbo. What a shame?

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...
