Why close down the HOSPITALS?

I read the Teaching Hospital was closed down by the agitating students and doctors. I wonder why they close down institutions like hospitals? I don't know the exact figure but I know that the ratio between the doctors and the patient is very uneven. Anyone can say that from the long queue in front of every doctor's clinic and hospitals.

More than 100 patients who come to Teaching for treatment are in deliema because of this. Isn't it against the ethics of the doctors to let the patient suffer while they protest? The people who already are in problem suffer even more because of this. Even the emergency service was closed down for a while. I think its not the solution but the cause of problem in itself. This problem could have been solved by talks and is solved as well then why to protest? Why let other suffer? Why in the world do people ever close down THE HOSPITAL???

SLC and Loadshedding

What's going on here??

Load shedding has decreased nowadays. Early in the morning when I wake up, I find electricity and its the same in the evening. Has the water level in Kulekhani increased for SLC? If yes, then thats a great news. Even the nature supports the SLC appearing students, isnt that just great? If not then how come they could provide additional amount of power to all. They say the Hydropower project does not have that capacity and now they are using it. Will they cut power for more than 12hours to compensate the present usuage?

I think our students are habituated to this situation and even if they dont get the electricity for 10/15 days, it wont be a big problem. Not only them, the whole Nepal has become habituated. Why just give this facitity to SLC students, why not to others as well? Final exams for grade 11/12 are coming as well and I think they should also get this facility.

I read in news that a businessman committed suicide because he was unable to pay back loan he had taken. It was because of load shedding, he couldnt manufacture enough goods which lead to bankrupcy. I dont want to think what his family has to go through. First, the grief of losing him and second the bankrupcy. I can only sympathize with them.

I think the government should take serious actions againsts these kinds of problems created by load shedding and try to find a solution as soon as possible.

The Legend Dies

The death of Girija Prased Koirala was a real shock. He was and will always be the legend of Nepali Politics. The great guy with such a great personality, he was terrific.

I might be the one to criticise him while he was alive but I went to pay my last homage to him. His dertermination and the leadership quality was the reason for who he is today. I never knew him personally, so I can picturize him as a politician only, and I think he will like it more. I know the Girija Prasad Koirala as a tall figure with long-pointed nose and long finger.With that finger he controlled everyone and everything around him. He was the Peace Maker, Social Reformer and the backbone of Nepali politics. There's a lot to say about him if I go on, which will not be a new thing to know. We all know him better and now I think we will be reading about him in history books as well, like his brother BP koirala.

I just wish his last dream of making the new Constitution within the deadline come true and there be peace and cooperation in the nation and also among the political parties.

May his soul rest in peace in heaven.

Building Tunnel

I just read in a newspaper that a tunnel will soon be constructed from Tilganga to Guheswori. I think its a great idea. It will help reduce traffic and problems created by it. I wish it doesn't turn out to be talks only like ways and this time it really works out. Lets wish we get what we are promised and do not get dissapointed at the end.

Facts about Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is a major problem in the world. About 700,000 to 2 million people, mainly women and children are being trafficked every year. It is the third highly profitable illegal trade.

About 10 million trafficked people are surviving and working at risk. Human trafficking gives the annual profit of $5billion to $7billion, after drug smuggling and gunrunning. It is the highest growing form of forced labor.

Despite many International Conventions and Optional Protocols against trafficking for slave trade, millions of children are still being trapped by this heinous crime for forced labor, domestic servitude, forced beggary, illegal adoption, forced marriage, criminal activities and to become soldiers, camel jockeys and for other labour exploitations.

In Nepal, every year 12000 women and children are trafficked for sex trade into India for prostitution, according to the data of ILO. Twenty percent of the Nepali women trafficked to India for sex trade is the girls below 16 years of age.

Except for sex trade, thousand of Nepali is trafficked into India to work in carpet factories in Bhadio (Mirjapur), circus (e.g. Firojabad), potato farms, road constructions in Shimla, forced beggary (e.g. Banaras), domestic child labour in Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai and to the Middle East.

Demystifying the belief that only girls from specific geographical areas and community are being trafficked, this crime has expanded to every area and community including boys and men.
