Who is responsible ?

I am not surprised to read the news about the irresponsible acts of the concerned authorities who were and are supposed to install water filled tanks and soaps around the city to help the citizens wash their hands as one of the simple safety measures among the others to fight against the corona virus.

This is nothing but lack of feeling of responsibilities of the staff concerned and lack of departmental supervision and monitoring. What a shame!

Kathmandu valley is slowly turning into a corona virus hotspot which might be disaster for the heavily populated local population. The number of infected people is rapidly increasing by days. This is due to purely poor management of the government and carelessness of the people. The available health service facilities in the valley cannot bear the burden of increased number of infected persons sooner or later if the government and the local government continue taking the current situation not seriously.

Once the government decided to lift lockdown a few days ago, people from tarai and other areas flocked back to the capital who, some of them, have now been found source of virus transmission. That was where the government should have been serious and taken stringent measures in controlling the influx of the people. That could not happen. As a result, densely populated Kathmandu valley might become a death trap for the senior citizen, severely sick and poor people.

Hand washing stations were installed across the city to fight virus–but they have no water now

When Tilak Raj Pokharel, a mason, went to wash his hands at a hand washing station at Thapathali on Thursday, he was in for a surprise. Monkeys were taking turns to suck on the dry tap.
“Monkeys were trying hard to drink water from the tap. I chased them away and turned on the tap,” said Pokharel, 47, who was working at the Kalmochan temple next to the washing station. “There was no water. On the tank stand, the place for soap was empty.”
The Thapathali hand washing station is one of the 80 the Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited had installed in partnership with local councils across Kathmandu Valley when the nationwide lockdown was imposed from March 24.
But today, none of the stations the Post came across at Jawalakhel, Lagankhel, Teku, Tripureshwor, New Road, Basantapur and many inner alleys of the Valley had running water.

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...
