रसुवा बाढीकै झल्को दिने बुढीगण्डकी बाढीपश्चात तत्कालै हिमाली क्षेत्रको जोखिम पहिचान गरेर पूर्वसूचना प्रणाली बलियो र प्रभावकारी बनाउन ढिलाइ गर्न नहुने विज्ञको सुझाव।

Road ready, fate pending: What it will take to unlock Tatopani border crossing
Imports of goods from China have been severely affected after the flash flood on August 26 destroyed the Rasuwagadhi border crossing, which serves as a short route to Kathmandu. Citing disaster risks, the Chinese government had already closed the nearby Tatopani border crossing. Although imports were initiated through the Korala border crossing in Mustang as an alternative to both, continuous rainfall, landslides, and snowfall after September 24 blocked the road, creating further complications. With all three primary commercial border crossings with China affected on the eve of Dashain and Tihar, the import of festival-targeted goods has been hit hard.

Nepal's most celebrated 'weatherman' माैषमविद did an outstanding job forecasting this rain episode in advance. Well done, Prof. Binod, for your dedicated service to our community. Respect. 🙏
यो वर्षाले ठूलो आर्थिक क्षति पुर्याएको छ। तर सही पूर्वानुमान, समयमै सूचना र सबै निकायको समन्वयले अझ ठूलो जनधनको क्षति हुन पाएन। अझै धेरै ठाउँमा वर्षा भइरहेको र नदीको बहाव उच्च छ। @chemjongd सरले भन्नुभएझैँ, ‘last gasp of the storm’ ले आज दिनभर झरी पर्न सक्छ। सतर्क रहौँ।

के राज्यले बिना कानूनी आधार र प्रकृया नागरिकको निगरानी गर्न मिल्छ?
म त मिल्ने देख्दिन। तर प्रारम्भिक सुचना त्यस्तै छन्।

नेपालमा वर्षा जारी रहे पनि अहिलेसम्म ठूलो क्षति भएको छैन। तर अर्को हप्ता (८-१२ असोज) पूर्वदेखि पश्चिमसम्म धेरै स्थानमा भीषण वर्षाको सम्भावना देखिएकाले समयमै पूर्वतयारी र सतर्कता आवश्यक छ। यो सूचना किसानसम्म पुर्याऔँ, ताकि अन्नबाली जोगाउन सम्भव तयारी गर्न सकियोस्। सबै सतर्क रहौ।

Nepal’s climate justice push after Bhote Koshi flood faces test of scientific evidence

We're hiring interns at Kantipur Media Group as part of a new program that brings in young journalists, trains them, and builds a path to full-time roles across its various verticals and platforms.
I got my start in a Nepali newsroom (not Kathmandu Post, they wouldn't take me!) that let me try things I wasn't yet qualified to do. That's what we're offering here.
We're taking on *five* reporting interns who will report and write (primarily in Nepali) across business, politics, arts & entertainment, and society beats. What we're looking for is curiosity that doesn't switch off, and the willingness to be edited hard.
The internship is open to anyone, but we will prioritize women candidates. If you've been waiting to write a story but haven't had someone to guide you, or editors to work with, this is it.
Interns will be paid Rs. 10,000/month.
Please share this with someone who should see it.
