KATHMANDU, June 1: A Buddha Air plane which took off for Bhadrapur has returned to Kathmandu after realizing that there was a problem with the aircraft’s tires.

KATHMANDU, March 2: A meeting of high-level experts’ team for Pancheshwar Multi-Purpose Project has failed to sort out the major issues of the project: water sharing, distribution of water of lower Sharada Barrage, energy sharing, consumption, price, and investments. They, however, sorted out some technical issues, according to participating officials.

Writing on simple technical issues that suits a normal reader is difficult enough. Perhaps, it is even more difficult to get such piece approved by the opinion editors first. Big media houses elsewhere usually keep knowledgeable technical hands to support the editorial team. On issues I have little grasp, I often try to verify facts first with people working in the related field and reconfirm the accuracy of scripted portion after the piece is done. I often make last minute request for small changes even after the final version is sent. But I am thankful that my irksome requests do generally get complied with.
