 Self Defense Against COVID-19  It seems that this dangerous and easily transmitted virus will be around for a longer period than we had thought. Although I have intentionally started ignoring news and other information related to this pandemic, but, I keep continuing updated myself about the self-defense mechanisms through various sources.   I continue to do my morning walk, buying vegetables and fruits from usual places where I see no buyers around. I always try to maintain social distancing while doing my morning walk. I never pass through narrow lanes. Before going out, I sanitize my hands thoroughly and put my surgical mask and cap and my morning walk outfits. After coming back home, I walk straight to the terrace and put my outfits in the sun.

Is the government on the path of being arrogant and autocratic government as opined by constitutional experts and leaders of the main opposition? Is it possible to imagine so in this 21 st century? Is the Oli led government imagining to supress the voice of the people and running the country with iron claws? KC has staged 18 rounds of hunger strikes in the last eight years. Every government headed by the NC, the then UML, the then Maoist Centre and their coalition government in the past had signed agreements with him to end his hunger strikes. None of these previous governments were sincere to implement thei...
