Good Morning Nepal!
1. Chicken Dinner Turns Fatal
Two young brothers in Kailali died after eating broiler chicken, while two others fell sick. What was supposed to be dinner became a tragedy. Food safety checks? Still optional, apparently.
2. Gym Structure Collapses, Municipality Shrugs
An open-air gym in Bardiya literally broke down—but the local government isn’t breaking a sweat over repairs. Fitness infrastructure is down, and so is accountability.
3. Drinking Water Prices Rise 40%
Jar and bottled water prices have surged, thanks to rising petroleum costs. Staying hydrated now comes at a premium. Clean water, but make it a luxury.
4. RSP Calls Meeting, Agenda Stacks Up
Rastriya Swatantra Party has called a secretariat meeting with six agendas lined up. Whether solutions come out of it is another story. Meetings are plenty—results are still pending.
5. Oli Discharged After 21 Days
Former PM KP Sharma Oli is out of the hospital after treatment and surgery. Back in action after three weeks. Nepali politics just got one familiar player back on the field.
6. Road Construction Stuck… Because of a Pole
A road project in Bardiya is stalled because an electricity pole hasn’t been moved. Infrastructure meets immovable object. Development, paused by a pole.
7. Covid Hospital Now Collecting Dust
A fully built Covid hospital in Udayapur is now lying unused. Built in crisis, forgotten in calm. Public investment, now a ghost facility.
8. Left Unity Rumors Denied—Again
After Prachanda met Oli, rumors of left unity spread like wildfire. UML quickly shut it down. In Nepali politics, speculation travels faster than facts.
9. Storm Kills Two in Mahottari
A tree fell on a moving tempo during a storm, killing two and injuring four. Natural disasters remain brutally efficient. A tragic reminder of how sudden such events can be.
