Positive effects of the lockdown

Positive effects of the lockdown: Carbon dioxide emissions worldwide fell by 17 percent

Most countries in the world are in a state of paralysis due to the corona virus epidemic. Industry, factories, business, road transport, etc. are almost at a standstill. Although the downturn has had a negative impact on the global economy, it has also reduced carbon dioxide emissions to Earth. Studies by researchers from different countries have shown that this year's carbon dioxide emissions are lower than in 1019.

The study found that the Earth's carbon dioxide emissions decreased by 17 percent during the lockdown period. Researchers say that if woodcuts continue worldwide this year, carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by seven percent, and if woodcuts are removed soon, they will be reduced by four percent. Researchers say that for the first time since World War II, carbon dioxide emissions have dropped dramatically.

In April, the United States emitted only one-third of its carbon dioxide emissions.

Researchers say that in February, China emitted only a quarter of its carbon dioxide emissions. Similarly, in India it has declined by 26 per cent and in Europe by 27 per cent. As the world's largest emitters of greenhouse gases fall, so does the world's carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon dioxide gas can remain in the atmosphere for centuries. This gas is affecting the greenhouse to increase the temperature of the earth.

According to scientists, global carbon dioxide emissions have dropped by 17 percent as countries around the world have resorted to effective logging to prevent the spread of the corona virus. A detailed study report so far on lockdown and its impact on the environment has been published in the journal Nature. According to the study report, the use of cars during lockdowns is almost zero, so carbon emissions have been reduced drastically. About half of the 17 percent reduction in carbon emissions was due to reduced car use, according to scientists involved in the study.

But scientists have expressed concern that carbon emissions will rise again as cars are being used as wood is being eased in various European countries.

Scientists have expressed concern that carbon emissions could be much higher in the near future. He called on politicians around the world to take real and long-term measures to reduce carbon emissions. He urged to make the means of transportation and the means used for the travel of people environment friendly.

Analysis of carbon emissions data from 69 countries, which account for 97 percent of global carbon emissions, shows that emissions have declined by 17 percent since the effective implementation of woodcuts.

In early April, daily carbon emissions fell 17 percent from a year earlier, following a crackdown on coronavirus infections. This means that 17 million tons of carbon emissions have been reduced on a daily basis. Emissions from careful transportation have been reduced by 43 percent, scientists said. Similarly, emissions from industry and fuel production have declined in the same proportion.

Historical map of Nepal - May 2020

Awakening the people against the Indian border encroachment, he went to Mechi-Kali to train leaders and staff on what Kalapani is.

He went to China, Britain and the United States looking for a map to strengthen Nepal's claim. Border expert Budhinarayan Shrestha is overjoyed after the government of Nepal finally released a new map including Mahakali Shir Limpiyadhura. Though he retired from the post of Director General of the Survey Department in 049 BS, Budhinarayan did not retire from the service of the country. He did not expect the appointment of the Government of Nepal, he did not become a 'consultant' of NGOs. Became a volunteer engineer and visited the encroached area.

After compiling historical maps from China, the United Kingdom and the United States, he drew a map of Limpiadhura and published it in a book.

Some leaders used to laugh when Budhinarayan showed 'Chuchche Map', but now the same map has become the official map of the country. Budhinarayan led Nepal in the 13th and 14th meetings of the Nepal-India Joint Technical Boundary Committee when he was the Director General of the Survey Department. He remembers that there was a dispute over the map of Kalapani in the working group under him. India reiterated its claim on Nepalese land that the river from Lipulek is the Kali River," he said. . However, India showed a map of 1879 and submitted its claim to Lipulec, so no agreement was reached. The then government had not given the mandate to present the issue of Kalapani as an important agenda.

Therefore, the Kalapani issue has been in the shadows for a long time.

However, after retiring from the Survey Department, Budhinarayan was freed from government control. He himself set up a land survey company. From there, he had the opportunity to travel to London to participate in the Federation's survey program. While living in London from July 19, 1998 to August 21, 1998, Shrestha made good use of his time shopping and visiting the British Library.

After spending several days in the huge library, he finally found a map issued by the Survey of India on April 24, 1856.

The river flowing from Limpiyadhura is called River Kali in the map. The map of Nepal called Nepal is still preserved in British Lybary, India office Records, Map collections Shelfmark number IOR.X / 2996/1. A year later, Shrestha, who arrived in the United States from May 10 to June 25, 1999, visited the Library of Congress in Washington DC. He obtained a map with the catalog number G 7650 s 260.15 in the Geography and Map Division of the Library, published by British India in 1827. The map, prepared by Lens Horst, a hydrologist at the East India Company government under the British Parliament, also states that the river flowing from Limpiadhura is River Kali. As per the Sugauli Treaty, Kali River is a border river, so it is clear that it is western India and eastern Nepal. Both of these maps show Kalapani Hot Spring in Nepal before the Kali River.

The map says: Nabhi village is also Nepal.

Based on maps found in the United States and London, Budhinarayan concluded, "The river that flows from Limpiyadhura is the Kali River." The western border of Nepal is the same. 'In 1957, he published a book called Border of Nepal, which also won the Madan Award. However, he wanted to not only awaken the people from the book, but also interfere in Nepal's policy. After returning from the United States, Budhinarayan had the opportunity to make a presentation to the then Prime Minister Krishna Prasad Bhattarai. From an overhead projector in Baluwatar, Shrestha gave a presentation to Prime Minister Bhattarai with a map stamped by the Library of Congress. Six ministers and secretaries, Congress leader Sushil Koirala, Chief Adviser to the Prime Minister Dr. Narayan Khadka and Rajaram Chhatkuli and Tirtha Pradhanang, two senior officials of the Survey Department, were also present in Baluwatar.

Budhinarayan was satisfied with his presentation to wake up the Prime Minister.

Bhattarai had said that he would take necessary steps, but he had to resign after two weeks due to political reasons," Budhinarayan said. However, no matter who came to the government, he worked tirelessly to submit the documents. Even after India released the new map on October 29, he went to the Ministry of Defense and presented it to the current Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Two months ago, Chief of Army Staff Purnachandra Thapal and other army officers also gave presentations on the battlefield. He is still active in the campaign not only to harass the policy makers on the basis of the documents he has received, but also to find more documents.

During his last four months in the United States, he has received additional historical maps.

In the same meso, he also found a map issued by the then East India Company government in 1947. Border expert Budhinarayan also visited the National Library of China in Beijing, China from September 14 to 18, 2006. He arrived in Beijing on his way back to Fukuoka, Japan to attend an event. ‘I had the opportunity to study inside the archives of the National Bureau of Survey and Mapping. There, too, I found a map from 1903, 'he says.' Even on a map drawn during the Qing Dynasty, the river that flows from Limpiadhura is called Kali. The villages of Kuti, Nabhi, Gunji, Kalapani, Nabhidang and Lipulek Bhanjyang are shown on the map. A map prepared by India, which bears British heritage, on November 2 (November 16) also clearly states that the Kali River flows from Limpiyadhura.

However, on November 8, six days after the release of the map, the letter written Kali Nadi has been deleted.

Nepal should negotiate with India with restraint and maturity. We should not lose our sanity and logic as we have strong evidence, "he said." We should not spoil the atmosphere of negotiations by being provoked. 

Historical maps at the British Museum Library and the US Library of Congress say the head of the Mahakali is Limpiyadhura.

Map of 1827: Library of Congress, Washington DC: This map is stored in the Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division, catalog number G 7650 s 260.15 in Washington DC, USA. It is clear that its origin is Limpiyadhura. It is seen that Kalapani Hot Spring was written in Nepal before the river. This map says - Nabhi village is also Nepal. Map of 1856: British Museum Library, London: This map is stored in the India Office Record, Map Collection Safemark No. IOR.X / 2996/1 of the British Museum Library, London, UK.

However, in 1879, British India drew another map in which the Nepali lands Kuti, Nabhi and Gunji were brought to India by a cartographic sign.

Moreover, present day India has come here from Lipukhola and captured Kalapani. In the map published by India itself on November 2, the river coming from Limpiyadhura is also called Kali river. However, six days later, the new map was made public by erasing Kali's writing. After collecting historical maps from libraries in China, the United Kingdom and the United States, Budhinarayan Shrestha drew a map of Limpiyadhura and published it in a book. Some leaders used to laugh when Budhinarayan showed 'Chuchche Map', but now the same map has become the official map of the country. Border expert Budhinarayan Shrestha says, "There is ample evidence, but we should not incite political manipulation on such a sensitive issue of national identity.

We are ready to hold talks with India: Government (Nepal issues new political map)

Suggestion from a leader with knowledge of foreign affairs to hold bilateral talks with mature diplomatic skills. If the talks with India had started as per the request, it would have reached another stage now.

Kathmandu: Foreign Minister Pradip Kumar Gyawali has said that Nepal is ready to hold diplomatic dialogue with India on land encroachment and border issues. He also said that he was directly and indirectly urging India for bilateral dialogue. In the context of the border dispute, even the leaders of the main political parties and former foreign ministers have said that the only way to end the confrontation between Nepal and India is to hold bilateral talks using mature diplomatic skills. He said that the land could not be returned if only the map was released.

Reacting to the new political-administrative map of Nepal being made public by India calling it 'invalid' on Thursday, Foreign Minister Gyawali said that the new map was published after gathering. If the talks with India had started as requested, we would have reached another stage now." A date has also been proposed for the talks. Minister Gyawali said that India had replied that it would hold talks after the end of the Corona crisis in the last phase of the border dispute, adding, "But we are in favor of holding talks immediately." There is no other way to solve this problem than dialogue. '

Former Foreign Minister and Congress Joint General Minister Prakash Sharan Mahat stressed on the need to talk at the table with India by presenting facts and evidence through diplomatic channels.

Since we have to resolve through diplomacy, we have to be soft, polite in language and put things in the right place.

Just tell the people on the street, nothing should happen.  India has previously acknowledged that the Kalapani area is disputed. Accordingly, in the past, even when all border disputes were resolved elsewhere, the issue of sluggishness and black water was raised. RPP Chairman Prakash Chandra Lohani, who is also a former foreign minister, is of the opinion that India should be presented to explain and remind this. Nepal should try to establish the same thing now, 'he said. After India issued the map, Nepal protested and inaugurated a road in the same area.

Nepal sent a proposal to India for talks but no reply was received.

India ignored Nepal's objection to the road, which has been under construction for nearly 12 years, and the signing of an India-China trade agreement in 2015. One incident after another took place and Nepal only protested against it. Now, Nepal has made its concrete 'position' that this is its territory. All the parties represented in the parliament have agreed that this is the territory of Nepal. This has given the government the moral strength to speak strongly with India. Chairman of the Samajwadi Party, Upendra Yadav, who is also the former foreign minister, has suggested that the release of the map in such a favorable situation should not be used only as a weapon to shout slogans of extremism.

It would be great if you could return that territory, "he said." It should not be just a slogan of extremism.

The dispute over Limpiyadhura, Kalapani and Lipulek is directly between India and Nepal. It has been agreed to develop the trilateral point in this area and as a trade gateway between India and China. The Indian side understands that China has a 'backup' in issuing the new map to Nepal. Therefore, a mature dialogue with India and then China may be needed in the dispute over the Lipulek region. "We need to talk more with India first and create an environment for dialogue with China in the second phase," said Ram Karki, who is also the deputy chief It is important to keep the allies at the negotiating table. Only this can clear up the misunderstanding.  Karki stressed on the need for Nepal to focus on creating an atmosphere of dialogue without being provoked by the current situation.

He said that it would be appropriate to create an environment where people can talk from virtual meetings even if there is no direct talks. When it comes to talks, the Nepali side has been weak in the past. Nepal's biggest weakness in negotiations is the lack of institutional 'memory'. Therefore, the leaders say that preparations should be made in a mature manner while attending the talks. Allies have to worry about no data," Karki said.

Would you like to take a vacation? Why?

Do you feel overwhelmed at work or have a bad life balance like your work?

Have you stopped planning for the holiday this year?

If so, you are not alone… but you should know that there are many health benefits to taking time off from work and going on vacation. Research shows that Americans perform better than Americans in the industrial world. They also take less leave, work longer days and then retire. Joe Robinson, a productivity and stress management instructor and coach, author of "Work to Live" and "Don't Miss Your Life," says the problem is driven by a number of factors.

Gradually, workforce cuts and thin employees become difficult for working people.

People are also afraid to take holidays in the "era of elimination" for fear of being seen as less committed than their peers. Many studies have shown that taking time off from work can have both physical and mental health benefits. People who take holidays are less stressed, more at risk of heart disease, more positive about life and more motivated to achieve goals. If you need a little more reassurance, here is a list of some additional benefits of taking time off from work.

The New York Times reports that for both men and women, taking a vacation every six years reduces the risk of coronary heart disease or heart attack. Neuroscientists have found that long-term exposure to the stress hormone cortisol changes brain structure, which is a major cause of anxiety and depression. Feelings of peace may arise over time from work and relieve stress, which allows the body and mind to heal in ways that have not yet occurred. According to the Gallup study, "people who always make time for regular trips" have a Gallup-Heathway well-being index of 68.4, and a low passenger score of 51.4.

One study found that three days after discharge, physical complaints, sleep quality, and mood improved when compared to the holiday.

These benefits are even after five weeks, especially in those who have more personal time and overall satisfaction with their vacations. When returning from vacation, workers are often more focused and productive. The study found that chronic stress can actually regulate a part of the brain that inhibits target-directed activity and causes problems with memory. Relationships can be strengthened by spending time with loved ones to enjoy life. A study by the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services found that women who take holidays are more satisfied with their marriages. Workers who take time off to rest regularly are less likely to experience burnout, which makes them more creative and productive than their overworked, less restrained counterparts.

Research shows that holiday planning can lead to greater increases in happiness.

Eight weeks before the trip a person can feel the impact! The bottom line is that staying away from the stresses of work and everyday life improves our health, motivation, relationships, job performance and outlook and gives us the leisure we need to return and improve our lives and jobs. Let’s face it, people care more about their jobs and livelihood than ever before. The reason for this is that we learn more about recovering from depression and keeping things in our possession now. However, in order to save our time selfishly, we lose some important things in our lives.

We must work, and yet we must stay busy and enjoy the holiday.

Whether you are experiencing burnout or are under a lot of stress at work, going on vacation can significantly reduce the stress you are experiencing. Stress does not help you see things clearly. But when you take a break you can understand how to balance your work and life and minimize the effects of stress and any symptoms of burnout.

According to a study by the State University of New York in Oswego, a survey of 12,000 men, men who go on vacation soon find that their overall risk of

According to a New York Times article, when you don't take annual holidays, you will soon increase the death rate by 21 percent.

According to a survey by Sam's Club, very few small businesspeople spend today.

This can lead to fatigue, impatience, inadequate decision making and ill health. You will help in your work by getting more productive after taking a vacation. According to experts at the University of Pittsburgh, people are more likely to be satisfied with life during the holidays and return more actively and positively. Vacation gives you time to refresh and recharge your brain cells. According to experts we are wired to recharge and do not have to stretch or stretch for long. That is why many workers or busy people turn their best ideas away from work or office space.

The latest study shows that actually setting aside time can improve your happiness.

A survey of 1,500 Dutch adults was more than happy to take a leave of absence. The reason for this was the wild fear and excitement of his excursion. Even after returning from vacation, the excitement remains intact. According to the study's leader, Zero Naveen, it is better to spread the holiday experience two or three times a year rather than a big holiday! Whether you're going to the beach in a foreign country or driving in the heat of Las Vegas, useless time can give you a wonderful time to reflect and open In such a time away from work you can see the world from a holistic perspective rather than an overlooked perspective. You may be pushed to read a business book, learn new cultures, and change your perspective into one, which will help you get a better look when you return.

You offer yourself some family or own time.

The quality of life depends on how much you appreciate yourself and those around you. This can happen on their own with family or friends; But the busy schedule only provides time for holidays to greet those around you. Taking a vacation gives you the opportunity to really think about the important things, whether it's through reflection or planning, and the holiday gives you the peace and warmth.

Why is Nepal really famous for mountains?

The mountains of Nepal are divided into different categories based on their height and under whose authority.

The Ministry of Tourism is responsible for over 6,500 meters of trekking peaks, while the Nepal Mountaineering Society is responsible for the so-called trekking peaks. The height of these peaks ranges from 5,800 meters to 6,584 meters, and calls for climbing skills and climbing gear and should not be taken lightly despite the misleading title. Permits are not required for expeditions on peaks below 5800 m, although other types of permits are required to enter certain areas. All trips require a refundable garbage collection, and liaison officers also have to live on 6,500-meter-high cliffs. The best time for mountaineering is when the weather is good before the monsoon, especially at high altitudes, but the visibility can be limited with the peaking conditions of the monsoons.\

Autumn is good for slightly shorter peaks, winter is less cold, and spring is subject to early thaw seasonal snowstorms.

However, in this age of global warming and climate change, the climate cannot be predicted as it was in the past. Today it is possible to book a business trip in Nepal, try a large mountain, or try the trekking peak with one of the many Nepali trekking agents. If a free trip is required to attempt any legally open summits, they must read the policies and procedures legally required under the current Nepal Tourism Act (Rules for Mountaineering).

It is located mainly in the Himalayas, but also in parts of the Indo Ganges Plain.

Nepal is fortunate to have eight of the world's tallest mountains, including Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. People who die with mountaineering usually seek out the best cliffs. The most important of these are the mountains in this country. Some people prefer to live an adventurous life by getting stuck in the white snow on the cliffs and finding their way, for them, the mountains of Nepal.

Nepal Mountaineers Paradise with the highest mountain in the world.

Reaching Mt. Everest, but there are other technical challenges, such as the Lowes, or you can take a few more 326 climbing peaks awaiting you! The Nepal Himalayas are the most formidable mountain range in the world, one-third of which is 3,500 meters high. The world's eight highest peaks bordering Nepal are Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Manas, and Annapurna, which are more than 8,000 meters above sea level.

The first ascent of their journey through the French expedition with Maurice Herzog in the 1950s, Everest was first called the 1953 British expedition led by Edmund Hillary and apart from these eight huge peaks, 326 other mountains in Nepal are open to mountaineering and 103 of them have never been reached before.

Nepal offers more opportunities for climbers than any other country in the world, and throws endless challenges on them, including less spectacular trekking peaks, even if you love climbing The history of Nepal ascent begins with the early explorers of British India who fought the challenges of climbing high peaks and virgin peaks where no man could ever set foot. By the 1960s, Nepal's trekking and mountaineering industry were well-established, providing all the logistics with porters and guides to private companies for a full-time trip in the mountains. Many organizations take care of every aspect of mountaineering today and all climbers need to be in good condition physically and mentally, ready to take on the challenge and not worry about equipment and supplies.

Most Everest trips are regulated by reputable and reputable private companies.

Sherpas ’reputation is built on mountain climbing, with many mountain people achieving excellent status with their multi-layered mountains Everest and other 8000m peaks. Most campaigns do not run without a reliable, strict, and most reliable curse. They risk their for their clients and are often asked to rescue a climber who is in trouble. Although there are many other species in the service today, they are commonly called sherpas. Lass, Ama Dablam, and Manas are also frequented by trekking peaks such as the Mira, Island, and Yala peaks. Some climbers are ready to climb the virgin peaks from time to time, opening up new peaks, they do not want to climb first!

While Annapurna, Manas, and Kanchenjunga are listed as conservation areas, Sagarmatha (Everest), Langtang, and Shi-Foxxundo (Dalpo) are national parks, while other mountain areas do not fall into these categories, but They are close to the northern border of Nepal. The basic amenities and accessibility of Sagarmatha, Annapurna, Manas, and Langtang are well developed and easy for climbers and pilgrims to make quick progress in their base camps, including. It is still very remote, where rescue or assistance is difficult or unlikely from outside sources, and access to these areas is complicated and sometimes difficult. Campaigns in those fields require completely different approaches, commitment levels, and organizational efficiency to succeed to the maximum level they choose. For a relatively small country, Nepal has tremendous geographical diversity and it offers excellent geographical features in just 230 km from north to south.

India lands in the south, east and west, and north of China, Nepal has the highest elevation in the world.

The geographical difference in the country is from the summit of the icy mountain peaks, the Gokyo RI tops the sky at 5,357 meters, and the 8,848 meters around Mount Everest, with desert-like deserts such as dry, dry, and gray rocks. The country's Himalayas are a major source of many rivers and glaciers and also play an important role in the economy of the country. Some of the wonders of Nepal are the peaks of the Sapphire Mountains in the foothills and villages of the Himalayas. Other well-known features include extensive river valleys, deep valleys, high mountain passes, spectacular waterfalls, alpine forests, and biodiversity forests, and the highland Himalayas. The multiculturalism of Nepal is also one of its attractive features.

The world's highest mountain - Mount Everest is also in Nepal, as well as eight of the world's fourteen mountain peaks at 8000 meters.

The country's hilly region occupies 6% of Nepal's total land, with over 30 peaks over 1000 meters. There are many mountain peaks in the area, which are visited by many climbers every year, as well as some of the nearest cliffs that the native people consider sacred. Base camp trekking trips in Nepal are popular all over the world and tourists in the country are at the peak of spring autumn and autumn's extreme mountaineering seasons.

Let's take a look at Nepal's top ten highest mountains -

What is the drug culture like in Nepal?

Buying drugs in Kathmandu was legal in the 1960s ... walking the streets today and you still think it is.

After dark, anyone visiting the Tamale tourist area of ​​Kathmandu can see lonely crooked men, who brush close to your face and utter loud words - ... hashish ... smoke, do you want it?

Once a free hiding place for legal smoking of marijuana, marijuana, opium and other recreational drugs, Nepal's drip scene is the subject of a hippie hangout myth. But sellers, buyers and smugglers still have plenty here. Unfortunately, there are also hardcore drugs such as heroin, cocaine and amphetamine. For better or worse, it is still very easy to obtain drugs in Nepal. There is a dangerous path that Nepal tourists follow to buy drugs in more than one way. Hashish smoking is legal on Shivaratri in Nepal… but only thenDrinking hashish during Shivaratri in Nepal is legal… but only for one day!

Why Kathmandu Is Easy To Get Drugs In Nepal?

Nepal is not the product of drugs per second. Yes, in some "remote" villages you can find the odd crop of plants with green leaves. Hashish smoking is legal for the day during the Shivaratri festival. Shiva is the god of all the gods who enjoy strange smoke now and then. The original cause of easy access in Nepal is twofold. Due to the country's geographical proximity, the Golden Crescent - Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. Add frequent flights to Thailand and India with a large porous land border with northern India.

Then in the 1970s, with the US and Nepal banned drug trafficking, the US banned drug trafficking in Nepal, claiming that some were involved in the monarchy.

The Eden Hash Center is where the hash is legally sold. The little street south of Kathmandu Durbar Square, called Freak Street, is much more vibrant than it is today. Once there are direct buses from the airport to Freak Street and the hippie-filled borders are seeking their own legal fog! Yes, the state-run hash shops in Nepal were one of the major tourist attractions in the 1960s. Today, Freak Street is a remodeled "un-attraction" for hippies and tourists. Now when the old hippies roam Old Nepal, they walk on Freak Street. Sometimes "designers" try to see that they belong to the same stock, iding and avoiding hippies.

When US President Richard Nixon signed the new King of Nepal in 1973, there was a round of traditional hippies on Frick Street to ban marijuana. The '60s hippie tourism was quickly replaced by the more respected business of trekking and cultural tourism. From rocky hippies to the global heroin business. In the 70s and 80s, the heroin business became a major source of income for the elite in Nepal. One of the dead of brown sugar heroin was the Crown Prince, who was sent to rehabilitation in Switzerland. Meanwhile, in 1984, the Nepali soccer team was detained in 150kg of pure heroin lex. At the SAARC meeting, an American delegation bought two kilos of pure heroin and put it on Nepali police chiefs' table before threatening to cut off all aid to Nepal.

In 1990, King Birendra restored multi-party democracy in Nepal. Along with military and trade agreements with Pakistan. A group of democratic ruling parties suddenly grew and Nepal was a heroin hub. In the aftermath of the imperial deaths, Time magazine's article referred to the royal family's history of drug dealing. As the number of drug users in Nepal has steadily increased, the number of people arrested for trafficking has been increasing lately in the country. Statistics for the past six years (2011-2015) provided by the Nepalese police show that 15,496 drug traffickers were arrested in the country during this period.

Over the past five years, on average, more than 2 thousand people have been detained on charges of drug abuse and trafficking, but the number of female smugglers is growing.

If the current trend continues, police expect the number of smugglers to reach 3,300 by the end of this year. Over the past six years, police have seized 14,881 kg of marijuana, an equal amount of hashish, 67 kg of opium, 52 kg of heroin and 28 kg of cocaine. The current local market price of marijuana and hash is Rs 25,000 per kg, while opium is Rs 200,000 per kg. Heroin and cocaine are traded at Rs 20 lakh per kilo.

Among smugglers, a large number of Indians were arrested for drug trafficking; A total of 763 Indians including 729 men and 36 women were arrested by the police. The number of Indian nationals arrested in 2011 was 126 men and 9 women, while in 2012, 179 men and 8 women were arrested on trafficking charges.

In 2013, police arrested 123 men, 6 women, 127 men, 6 women in 2014, 107 men and 4 women in 2015.

At the end of August 2016, Nepal police had 65 men and 3 women. In addition to India, police have arrested a total of 80 foreigners from different third world countries this year alone. Cocaine and heroin from the Latin American countries of Brazil, Peru, have come to Nepal, so it is clear that international drug traffickers are using Nepal as a means. Narcotics Control Bureau Chief Digi Jaya Bahadur Chand said cocaine and heroin were not sold in Nepal but instead were exported to India, China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

Often, non-drug users are caught trafficking for illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin.

Chand said that only a few influential and wealthy families in Kathmandu in Nepal could afford these drugs. Chand said the use of illicit drugs such as marijuana, hash, nurse pills, phenargon and diazepam is high in Nepal.

According to a study conducted by the United Nations, 300 million people worldwide currently take drugs each year; The illicit drug business is worth about $ 332 billion. Similarly, in a study conducted by the Nepal government in 2069, BS reported 91,534 (85,204 men and 6,330 women) drug abusers nationwide.

Data shows that the number of drug users in Nepal increases every year by 11.36%.

Should Nepalese be worried about the coronavirus?

The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus in China, also known as the Wuhan Coronavirus, has now affected 17 countries.

There are approximately 6,000 cases in China with the majority being diagnosed. Total casualties have crossed 130, most of them in Wuhan, in Hubei Province. Nepal has recorded its first confirmed case: a student studying in China who went to Nepal when diagnosed. Coronavirus family viruses have historically caused respiratory infections in human populations worldwide.

The most recent outbreaks include acute acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002 and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012.

Both have affected thousands of people and in some cases can be fatal. SARS killed 10% of infected people, while MERS was fatal in 37% of the infected population. The current death rate due to Wuhan coronavirus is 2.2%. If we reverse this number, 98 percent of people infected with this virus will not die. Given the low mortality rate compared to previous coronavirus outbreaks, why is there so much concern about this outbreak?

The first reason is that the Wuhan Coronavirus is a ‘novel’.

The term is used to refer to a new species in viral epidemiology that has never been found in the population. Therefore, scientists do not know enough about the symptoms of the virus and provide public health indications about treatment.

Second, unlike SARS and MERS, the incubation period of the virus is up to 14 days, and asymptomatic individuals can spread the disease to others.

Infected individuals who show development may also continue to spread the virus. The R0 (n r naught ') value of this virus is estimated to be 3, which means that the infected person transmits on average three more people. It is believed to have a high infectivity number, but it is still lower than SARS or MERS. Chinese authorities have taken tough steps in Wuhan to stop the spread of the virus. However, this may not be enough as most infected people may be out of the city until they take action. Wuhan's population is 10 million, and many begin this week's Chinese New Year. According to experts at Imperial College in London, the number of infected populations is less than about 100,000. Therefore, we can expect more cases around the world as infected people spread and transmit the disease.

However, the question has arisen once again about how many people have been infected so far.

The virus may be spreading, but not the cause of many deaths?

Nepal has a common outbreak of respiratory diseases such as seasonal influenza, 'avian influenza' and 'swine flu'. Nepali media often report cases of ‘unknown viral disease’. The Nepalese government set up screening centers for coronaviruses at airports and border posts before the first infected person was diagnosed in Tibet. The National Public Health Laboratory is working with private hospitals and laboratories and technical assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO) to make timely and accurate diagnosis of Wuhan coronaviruses. These cases are referred to the Sukhraj Tropical Infectious Diseases Hospital and are monitored by the Department of Epidemiology and Disease Control in the country.

The Ministry of Health and Population has ordered all private hospitals in the country to be on standby if ventilator-supported ICUs are needed. The state mechanism seems to have learned from the vulnerabilities previously seen during the SARS and H1N1 (swine flu) outbreaks. However, the exact clinical diagnosis of the disease is a challenge, as people who are infected with non-symptomatic phosphoses are more likely to be infected with other viruses, such screening is the only way to identify the maximum number of cases entering the country and prevent the population from getting infected.

There have been no cases of coronavirus infection since January 25 in Nepal.

The first case has only been reported to date. The global media reporting of the outbreak is more focused on malignancy than recovery, and the WHO fails to note that the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak with its expertise and access to data has not yet declared a public health emergency. The experience of making a 'premature and hasty' decision to end the 2009 influenza A (or H1N1) - or swine flu - is still a pandemic, at which point the

WHO decided to take a close look at the situation. 

WHO is focusing on China as a priority over the action, while observing the rest of the world. This does not mean that we can be complacent, because the risk of mutation in the more severe form of the virus is real. However, this also does not help to be afraid. We need to look at the numbers, listen to the experts in this field and move on accordingly. After the end of the week, several high-level coordination committees, led by Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ishwar Pokharel, made several important decisions aimed at limiting the spread of

Travelers from more than 50 countries in Nepal, Europe, Britain, the Gulf and West Asia have been banned; Nationwide secondary education exams are postponed; Asked to close all gyms, health clubs, movie theaters, and dance bars; And all meetings of more than 25 people are banned.

Civil Aviation Minister Yogesh Bhattarai told the Post on Wednesday, "These strong measures have been taken based on the global impact of the coronavirus, the fear it has created and While these measures are welcomed, many public health officials fear they may not be enough and the public is not sure that the government is doing enough. Sundar Mani Dixit's video has criticized the government's response that the government is not conducting enough tests as the test kit is not viral. Despite a conspiracy theorist signaling for Dikshit, especially the claim that the test kits are being saved for 'VIPs', the video is taken aback by Nepal's lack of confidence in the dense urban development, poor security measures and health infrastructure. As of March 20, only 546 Nepalis were tested for Kovid-19, excluding adverse cases in January, according to the Ministry of Health and Population.

Current screening procedures include assessing whether patients have a fever with severe respiratory symptoms or have a surgical condition; And then they are assessing whether Kovid-19 may be in the 14 days they are performing, or in the affected country.

Fever is being tested for those who arrive in Nepal, and when they show no symptoms, they are asked to self-confine. If there is fever, they are left alone and sent to a designated hospital. But the airport has suffered long-term institutional and infrastructure failures. On March 9, the Diplomat reported that 13 health workers at the Tribhuvan airport were inadequate to check passengers coming from China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan. Some travelers skip the screening process due to the limited number of health workers," one passenger told the publication.

On March 18, The Himalayan Times reported that incoming travelers were not being properly investigated and many were not being asked to remain in self-restraint. Nepal's hospitals and laboratories are also pre-equipped, first to screen potential patients, then to isolate them, and then to provide adequate care. Nepal Public Health Laboratory officials told the Post that they had only 1,000 test kits.

As of March 20, more than half of them were used and it is unclear whether they received the 5,000 kits they sought from the WHO.

On March 19, the Medical Council of Nepal urged all hospitals, private and public, to set up more than 100 beds with special fever clinics, and urged everyone to conserve resources for the outbreak, with health workers postponing elective surgery to ensure safety. Decrease. Unnecessary congestion in hospitals and treatment centers.

Kathmandu is one of the most densely populated cities in the region and the spread of it will increase health care facilities quickly. The Covid-19 mortality rate is not very high - revised from the initial estimate of 3.4 percent to less than 1 percent - but when coronavirus patients come to hospitals, those who need immediate medical care do not need care. .
