Nepal created yet another history with new Interim Constitution and new Interim Legislature. Nepal‘s constitution of 1990 has been nullified and new constitution has been implemented which stripped all the powers from King Gyanendra and made him powerless like common man. till date, Nepal saw 6 constitution and this new constitution has been the first one written by people. House of Representative have been dissolved and Interim Legislature have taken it’s place with Maoists entering parliament after 14 years. In yet another historical move, 83 members of Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) have entered inside the parliament house as the members of the interim legislature. [The existing parliament was restored in April by the historical peoples' movement.] Members of various parties in the (old and existing) parliament are already saying that today will herald a new beginning of the process of making a new Nepal, a democratic republic of Nepal. The interim constitution significantly reduces king’s role in the state of affairs and empowers people of Nepal like never before. The main objective of the interim house and interim constitution will be to hold the election of constituent assembly on time (by mid June) which will decide Monarchy’s future. Soon all party Interim Government will be formed which will announce dates for Constituent Assembly to be held by coming July.

The Communist party of Nepal (Maoist) had entered jungle with arms after it lost it’s faith in legislature. It has hoped to make Nepal a Republic Country. They fought for bloody 11 years for their dreams and around 13000 people lost their precious life and there’s no account of how much physical and other assets were lost or damaged. But after 19 day’s peaceful April Movement, the Nepal‘s political and landscape have changed. Maoists laid their arms and came to peaceful political mainstream. Now the bloody was is over and it’s new dawn has arrived for Nepal.

You are riding taxi from New Road to Thamel via Jamal. How much it would cost you? You would say it costs you around Rs. 35 to Rs. 45. Not more than that. What if you are charged Rs. 81? Then you would say, “Man the taxi’s meter is tampered!” Yes we were charged Rs. 81 for mere 10 minutes distance. The taxi with number plate Ba. 1. Ja. 4402 charged Rs. 81. And when bargained he simply slashed down charge to Rs. 60. This is just a single case. Daily hundreds of people are cheated like this. Government has implemented the standard meter and rates and legal punishments for those convicted. But still Taxi drivers and owners are not hesitating to tamper with meter and cheat passengers. To prevent this we all must be aware, but sometimes the problem is we don’t know the rates because most of us hardly ride taxi unless it’s emergency.


So what precautions should be taken then? What measure should be applied to prevent such cases? Come let’s haunt those who tamper meter and try to cheat us. If you have any cases or incidents, share with us.

Power Woes!!!

“Today I woke up early. I had many works to be done and plans to be made. But Ahhh!!! No electricity. Damn it’s load shedding.”

Load shedding has become our destiny. From January 7, 2007 it has gone up to 8 hours a week per household from 2.5 hours a week previously. Even the worst is in the area from Hetauda to Birjung where load shedding would be imposed for 3 hours everyday. After a month it is expected to go up to 40 hours a week. Currently Nepal needs 640 MW of power but the irony is Nepal can produce mere 440 MW power in its peak time i.e. rainy season. Nepal‘s power production is based on run-of-river projects and in winter, due to decrease in water level, power production capacity declines by almost half. On January 6, 2007 power production declines to 230 MW nearly tri-fold less than demand. It is expected that soon power production would plunge to mere 185 MW.

According to NEA figure, 20 % of total population in 72 districts have access to electricity. Currently there are no any big projects going on except Mid-Marshyandi Hydro Power with capacity of 69 MW. And it has also it’s own woes. It has already been delayed for 3 years than expected. It’s cost has increased by three fold than evaluated and still it is not showing any signs to complete.

NEA has plans to buy power from India and are in procedure to make deal. But currently only 23 MW of energy can be bought because of its own problems.

Nepal is considered as second richest country of the world in terms of water. Nepal‘s power production is estimated to be 83000 MW out of which 43000 MW is possible.

The most irony is, so called watery-rich Nepalis are those unlucky people who haven’t reach to electricity and safe drinking water. And if sooner no plans are formulated, load shedding would be problem of coming generations also.
