Caution Against Covid-19
Published On: December 27, 2022 08:00 AM NPT By: Republica
COVID-19 cases in China have been rapidly increasing in various major cities in recent weeks as the virus sweeps through China largely unchecked. Nepal’s northern neighbor had been largely sheltered from the virus for much of the pandemic. But it is now reportedly experiencing “the world’s biggest surge in infections” after the hardline Covid-19 containment measures implemented in China earlier were loosened earlier this month following protests.
The Criminal Face of Society
Published On: December 26, 2022 08:03 AM NPT By: Republica
Statistics maintained by the police show that there is also a criminal side to our society that has been getting uglier and uglier over the past few years. This only substantiates speculations that the Nepali society is getting cruel.
On Election of New President
Published On: December 25, 2022 07:51 AM NPT By: Republica
It has already been several weeks since the ruling parties got engaged in negotiations to form a new government. Even as the deadline given by President Bidya Devi Bhandari is expiring on Sunday, the ruling Nepali Congress and the CPN (Maoist Center) do not seem anywhere close to sealing a power-sharing deal.
Visit Nepal Decade 2023-33
Published On: December 24, 2022 08:04 AM NPT By: Republica
The government has decided to mark the period from 2023 to 2033 as the Visit Nepal Decade (VND). While the short-term goal of the VND is to revive the country’s tourism sector which was battered by the Covid-19 pandemic for two consecutive years, the long-term goal is to take the Nepali tourism to newer heights, including establishing Nepal as a leading destination in the global tourism market.
Make Education Actually Free
Published On: December 23, 2022 07:30 AM NPT By: Republica
Right to education is one of the fundamental rights of the Nepali people as enshrined in the country’s constitution. Article 31 of the Constitution of Nepal 2015 states, “Every citizen shall have the right to get compulsory and free education up to the basic level and free education up to the secondary level from the State.
Economy in the doldrums
Published On: December 22, 2022 07:53 AM NPT By: Republica
The current situation paints a bleak picture of the Nepali economy although its external sector has recovered marginally in recent times. An improvement in the remittance inflow, trade balance and foreign currency reserves are something to cheer about. However, other crucial macroeconomic indicators like the inflation rate, government expenditure, government revenue mobilization, interest rates of banks, foreign direct investment (FDI) and aggregate demand haven’t been healthy in recent months.
Preventing Cold Wave Deaths
Published On: December 21, 2022 07:30 AM NPT By: Republica
Winter for Nepalis is all about biting cold, more so for those who lack roofs over their heads and enough clothes to keep themselves warm in the cold season. The impact of winter is much more severe in the Tarai, the country’s southern plains, where cold waves kill people every year.
Resolve constitutional ambiguities
Published On: December 20, 2022 07:45 AM NPT By: Republica
The decision of President Bidya Devi Bhandari to provide only seven days for political parties to stake claim for the new government leadership has courted a serious controversy in the wider political circle.
Control Price Rise
Published On: December 19, 2022 08:00 AM NPT By: Republica
These are perhaps the times when we feel the tightest squeeze on our wallets in years, with the price of everything rising very quickly, especially over the past few months. Perhaps, over the past few months, prices have risen at their fastest pace in years.
Setting a bad precedent
Published On: December 18, 2022 07:40 AM NPT By: Republica
The attempt to elect a ‘non-political’ person as the president will only set another bad precedent as seen already in Nepal’s chequered political history.
