पाँचपोखरी: प्रगतिका ५ सूत्र

August 18, 2021 by admin

हिमाल खबरपत्रिका (१० मंसिर, २०७७) बाट)   नबिथोलिएको ठाउँ छ, काठमाडौं नजिकै, जहाँको स्थानीय रहनसहन र पहाड हिंडाइ चढाइले बोलाइरहेछ।   बिहानीपखको पाँचपोखरी, क्षितिजमा देखिने नेपालै ढाक्ने ‘दक्षिणएशियाली तुवाँलो’।   राजधानी उपत्यकादेखि उत्तरपूर्व सिन्धुपाल्चोकको जुगल हिमाल शृंखलाको फेदैमा पर्छ, सिन्धुपाञ्चोकको पाँचपोखरी तीर्थस्थल — छेवैको हेलम्बु उत्तरको गोसाइँकुण्डका तालहरू जत्तिकै रमणीय, तर हिमाल भने अझै नजिक। …

August 24, 2021 by admin

From Scroll.in (Oct 27, 2020) Will the people impacted by the project be heard through the cacophony of money, careerism, certitude and bombastic populism?

October 19, 2020 by admin

हिमाल खबरपत्रिका (१६ असोज, २०७७) बाट) नेपालको जनस्वास्थ्य सुधारको यात्रा लामो हुनेछ, यसमा तपाईं डा. केसी बीच बाटोमै हामीलाई अलपत्र नछोडिदिनुस्। सरकारले तपाईंसँग वार्ता गर्न आओस् नआओस्, त्यो उसको मान्यता र आचरणको कुरा भयो। उसले केही भनोस् नभनोस्, फेरि कुनै अर्को प्रतिबद्धतामा हस्ताक्षर गरोस् नगरोस्, त्यो आफ्नो ठाउँमा छ। तर जनताको लागि सत्याग्रही डा. गोविन्द …

September 3, 2020 by admin

हिमाल खबरपत्रिका (१५ भदौ, २०७७) बाट यस्तो नहोस् कि हामीले कुनै सालिक भत्काउँदा पछिपछिसम्म सम्झिराख्नुपर्ने इतिहासका ज्यादती र तिनका खलपात्र बिर्सन मद्दत पुगोस्। त्यसैले पनि बँचेका सालिकहरु रहन दिऊँ, यिनीसँग सम्बन्धित असल/खराब चरित्र सम्झने कोशिश गरौं। सडक र चौरस्तामा रहेका सालिकलाई ढाल्ने, भत्काउने होड छ। कतिपय पश्चिमा मुलुकमा आज भइरहेको जस्तो यसअघि पूर्वी यूरोपेली मुलुक …
