According to the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA), the team’s itinerary was postponed by a day due to complications with international flights.

Indra Jatra, the eight-day-long grand festival of Kathmandu, concluded on Thursday without the traditional chariot procession due to the prevailing curfew.

Maintain Law And Order
During the two-day protest of Gen-Z, the law and order situation deteriorated to the extent that total anarchy ruled the roost in the Kathmandu Valley and other major cities of the country. The incidents of vandalism, violence and arson spread like a wildfire. When a fierce movement and revolution sweeps the nation, it is not only the government but also the state that becomes dysfunctional, unable to deliver basic security to the citizens.

Economics Of Property Tax In Nepal
Property tax has long been one of the reliable sources of own-source revenue for local governments in Nepal. Nepal’s constitution has reserved property tax as an exclusive power of local governments. The Local Self-Governance Act of 1999 introduced this tax by granting municipalities the authority to levy an integrated property tax. While municipalities had the option to choose between house and land tax or integrated property tax, the Village Development C
Smog To Cycle Solutions
In the frenetic hours when everyone of us is scrambling to head to our offices on time, we hardly prioritise our safety, let alone think of others. Even the smallest stretch of vacant road becomes a battlefield, especially for two-wheelers. In such a chaotic situation, the bicycle is rarely seen as a viable form of transport. For a city like Kathmandu, where everyone is in a rush on the road, cycling is considered one of the most inconvenient, unsafe, and unreliable modes of t
