Chure Under Threat
The Chure range, lying in the altitude range of 600 to 1200 metres above sea level, and stretching from Mechi in the east to Mahakali in the west is one of the most fragile hills not only in Nepal but in South Asia. The rampant deforestation and incessant extraction of construction materials and riverine resources from the Chure range and the rivers flowing through it have disturbed its ecosystem. Despite the crucial role the forests in the range play in maintaining ecological balance by preventing soil erosion and regulating the water cycle, their rampant destruction has recently led to water scarcity in the Madhes region. This depletion has already affected the people residing in Madhes, with ponds, tube wells, and hand pumps drying up. This has led to acute water scarcity during the dry seasons and floods in the rainy season. The rapid destruction of the Chure is often overlooked when we talk about the issues of mountainous countries in the international forums. The Chure forests protect the densely populated Terai plains from floods and landslides and s
Has Schism Crept Into Coalition?
The current coalition government, after reaching the momentous 100-day milestone, encountered higher-level of dissatisfaction when key partners voiced their displeasure with the government’s performance. In the wake of criticism, numerous observers predicted that the government would face difficulties in the coming days, regardless of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda's intentions to incorporate new members into his cabinet from smaller coalition parties to strengthen his government's standing. KP Sharma Oli, chair of the CPN-UML, the largest party in the ruling alliance, chastised the government for failing to consult with his party before presenting the federal budget and expressed dissatisfaction with the budget disbursement to ministries allo
Controlling Invasive Alien Plants
Nepal is rich in biodiversity. Many species of animals and plants are found in the country. This is because of a variety of bio-climatic conditions the country boasts. However, as in other countries, Nepal is facing the problem of invasive alien plants. Since the beginning of the 20th century, invasive plants have posed a threat to native plants. Such plants have become a serious threat to economic, social and ecological sectors on a global scale. Human activities are largely to blame for this. Factors like international travel and trade have made humans dispersal agents. Invasive plants outcompete native plants and suppre
Rise Of Remote Work
Over the past decade, the nature of work has undergone a seismic shift, driven by advancements in technology, changing workforce demographics, and evolving business models. One of the most significant trends to emerge from this transformation is the globalised inclination towards remote work. The shift towards remote work, once a niche practice, has now become a dominant trend in the global employment market. Remote work, also identified as telecommuting, is a practice of working from one’s home or any other location except an office. Remote work surged into prominence in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, which upended the fast-paced schedule and cause

Rukum students attend classes in rickety school buildings
Children in Rukum West are taking classes in risky school buildings. The Jajarkot earthquake in November and its aftershocks have damaged many school buildings in the district. However, without repairing or reconstructing the buildings, regular classes are being conducted in the buildings which have developed several cracks. Dhana Bahadur BK, a grade 8 student at Bheri Dobhan Secondary School in Sanibheri Rural Municipality-2, said that his classroom might collapse at any moment. He said, “Just walking into the classroom is frightening, and we are forced to remain seated there all day." Similarly, Sangeeta Rana, a grade 10 student at the same school, said that since the earthquake, they had not been able to study comfortably in their classrooms. "We cannot stop studying," she said, "We hope that the school building will be rebuilt soon so we can study in peace."
School students faint in Jajarkot due to heat
Students of Bhagwati Secondary School in Bheri Municipality-13 have started fainting after being unable to tolerate the scorching heat. With the ever-rising mercury, a growing number of students are experiencing health issues such as fainting, screaming, and vomiting regularly. These incidents are disrupting the school's educational activities and causing concern among teachers and parents alike. Currently, the temperature in Jajarkot is between 40 to 42 degrees Celsius, and students have been fainting as they could not cope with the extreme heat. According to Dil Bahadur Khatri, the associate principal of Bhagwati Secondary School, students have been fainting and screaming due to extreme heat for the past few days. As a result, teaching-learning activity has been affected. When it gets too hot in the afternoon, we conduct classes in the morning, but students who come to school without having breakfast cannot tolerate the heat and faint. Khatri noted that the rising temperatures have been problematic for the children. "When s

People in Karnali compelled to cross river in rickety tuin
One of the key habits of Nepali politicians is indulging in tall talks. It is evident from the photograph accompanying this news report and the claims made by the previous governments. In 2019, the government led by KP Sharma Oli had planned to make the country tuin-free by January 14, 2021. But in June 2024, the people in Kharpunath Rural Municipality in Humla district are still depending on a risky tuin to cross the mighty Karnali River. The locals are compelled to cross the Karnali by cable contraptions, also known as tuin in local language, as the construction of a concrete bridge has been delayed. The Infrastructure Development Office selected a company to build a motorable bridge over the Karnali at Lali Bagar but when the company did not build the bridge, people of three wards of Kharpunath are still using the tuin to go across the river.
