Cabbie operators expect Government to take siesta

The cabbie owners and the operators flexed their muscles around the city to protest the crackdown of the authority on the crooked taxi drivers. The protest organized by the Nepal Meter Taxi Entrepreneurs’ Association protested within the valley targeting major traffic areas bringing the traffic to a complete halt, approximately for two and half hours. The drivers flexed their muscles to protest in Durbarmarg, Putalisadak, Thamel, Kamaladi, Bhotahiti, Jamal and Balaju by resting hundreds of cabbies across the road bringing the busy traffic to a complete halt.

While the public had to get off their vehicles and walk to their destination, the police and the traffic police stood there with null action; just as the cabbie owners expected. The protesters accused the Metropolitan Traffic Department and the Nepal Bureau of Standards and Metrology of invalid and inappropriate commotion on their daily business. The government has to say that the crackdown was an aftermath of several public complaints against the cab drivers for charging supplementary fares on the route. Such charging is surely illegitimate and violates the rights of the customers.

They demanded to raise the fare charges in accordance to the price hike. Most astonishingly, the protesters demanded to be allowed to charge exorbitant fare charges to the customers and be allowed to charge for fares with the meters off. This protest of the taxi drivers however seems they want the MTPD, the Consumer Right Protection Forum and the Government as a whole to keep silence and let them loot. The taxi drivers demanded that they must be allowed to drive and charge without the meter on. It would have been more righteous of the drivers association to demand a review over the taxi fares since it has not been reviewed or modified since last two and a half years.

According to Ram Bahadur Shrestha, the chairperson of NMTEA, the crackdown was one-sided. He further added that it was unfair to act against all as only some of the cabbie drivers were devious. But in contrary to his statement, the MTPD rounded up more than 300 crooked cab drivers on account of inappropriate charging. The amount of 300 cab drivers doesn’t seem to be SOME at all.

IOM leakage plan tip over

Some racketeers have been caught on accuse of taking 3 million from three aspirants of MBBS promising them guaranteed success in the entrance examination of the Maharajgunj-based Institute of Medicine.

The market was hit by a rumor that there had been a question paper leakage and sale. In due investigation, police raided a house at maitidevi-based house, rounding up 16 individuals who are supposed to be the part of the racket. The police force ended up without any copies of question paper, however the team seized two loaded pistols from Dr. Prabhat Kumar Kuswaha's rented apartment. The Doctorate degree holder runs an MBBS entrance coaching center.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Lalmani Acharya said, “Police could not find any question papers as they reached there before the racketeers could get their hands on the question papers.” Just a penny for a thought: If the investigation commenced after the tip-off about the question paper leakage how could the police arrest racketeers before they could get their hands on the question paper? And if the police team didn't find any of the question papers; how could they announce through the media that these people are the ones to deal the question papers. How do you judge Acharya's statement- a fake or a statement to white-wash the faults of the police force?

DSP Acharya said, “We suspect that at least four educational institutes are part of the racket.” A senior government official District Education Officer of Bara, Kedar Tiwari, and his wife were among those arrested from the residence of main accused Dr. Kuswaha on Saturday. The two were released after interrogation. However three of the racketeers, including Dr. Kuswaha and Prajwal KC, managed to evade arrest. Among the arrestees, four were Indians accused of supplying arms and ammunition to Dr. Kusuwaha.

This incident clearly frames the scenario of Nepal. The education sector as always is lagging behind with the most lame sanctuary, the confidential documents and exam papers had worst safe-keepings, and to top it up, Indians are marketing arms and ammunition within Nepal.

The Jatra of the Republic

     Kumari-Indra jatra is a festival, all about rejoice, feasting and fanfare among the indigenous Newar community , sequentially in events of several cultural values. This festival has been continued since a long time back, with certain norms and events that were supposed to be continued further. With the down fall of the Shah kingship, here is how the festival staged out.
     The day of the jatra was rejoiced by the Newar community, the traditional dances were displayed the same way it used to be, the same way as in times of kingship. A long tree log (yoshi) selected after certain assortment was set up, announcing the commencement of the festival-only now it stands upon the land of the republic.
In yesteryears, the programme would advance with the succesive feliciation of the only living godess of Nepal, i.e Kumari by the King. However this year the event was a bit different. The feliciation was scheduled to be organized at Basantapur initially but after the government's decision of barring ex-king Gyanendra's outgoing from his resident Nirmal Niwas, the feliciation was organised within the premises of Nirmal Niwas. His prohibition was explained by the government citing his own security reasons and probable clash between the pro-monarch and anti monarch. However the government never tried to recruit security to the ex-king. The chairperson of WYHF (World Youth Hindu Federation), Mr. Rajan Maharjan managed to take the kumaris along with other virgin girls to the function organized within the residency of the former king Gyanendra. It is learnt from certain sources that they were transported in seven taxis and some in private bikes. He even criticized the government for keeping the ex-king off Basantapur from the event. He further warned the government that the cancellation of the visit of the ex-king would even result in the barring of the president and the prime minister from the festival.  
     Now, leaving the political aspects and tangling issues of the jatra, lets focus over the rejoicing facet of the event.
     The chariots were set up and the living idols of Lord Ganesha, Bhairab and Kumari were placed on to the chariots among thousands of gazers. Amidst the roaring applause and the harmonious beats, the three chariots were raced on the paved stone path. 
     Some hundred people pulling the chariots, shouting, applauding and cheering; but all those were pretty easy on the year. The gurju ko paltan (the army men of the times of Prithivi B.B Shahdev) were patrolling the pavement and with them patrolled the traditional instrument players. Everything seemed organized, unified and exulting; though deficient of actual practice-enrollment of the ex-king.
     Three days and three electrifying chariot pulling event, each day started with a gun firing from the gurju ko paltan and ended with the episode where the chariot puller would rest the chariot and then would drink liquor pouring out of the idol of the Hindu deity Shwet-Bhairab. The icon of the Shwet-Bhairab is put on display only once a year. To miss a chance to see the deity is to wait for a year, and trust me the wait is worth the glance of the glory.

     With the end of the jatra, i saw rejoice and along with it the dynamism in the Newari culture. I have seen how it was supposed to be staged and i saw how it has been staged, and after all I can conclude our culture is taking a dynamic turnabout. So, how good is it to let our culture be affected by the dynamic political assets? The jatra concluded without the  ex-king, with the exposure of the incompetent government which could not provide security but was absymal enough to bar a citizen from a social function. The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation should have been more concerned. I hope if the ministry would me more just.
