HELLO NEPAL

Exaggerated achievement It seems that either the government's machinery is intentionally reducing the COVID 19 tests around the country to show low rate of infections or looking for another opportunity for corruption by letting the virus significantly spread around in all the districts. Otherwise, it does not make any sense by reducing sample collection and daily testing range at such a time when the government has eased lockdown.

They could have amicably sorted out their party’s internal problem rather than flexing their political numbers and looking for their personal political opportunity. This has now clearly shown that the then UML and Maoist (Centre) had merged their parties for their political interest and benefits, definitely not for the country and the people.  Time has come for the country to see new conducive political environment for properly manag...
