I shouted at them and threatened them to run away or get a nice beating from me. Photo credit: A Kumar By SAJJAN PRASAI It was Saturday and I was at my friend’s home at Ram Bazaar. We studied together for some time after then we went to a restaurant to have lunch. The restaurant was not very far from my friend’s house. We sat on the balcony of the restaurant and gave orders for lunch. Very soon, a delicious Nepali meal was served and we began eating immediately. In the meantime, I saw a boy huddled in a corner of the street, he severed with cold. I felt it odd because the day was hot and why this boy was severing in cold.

Without further delay, I took him to a nearby clinic and show

Most of these information on social media are not only misleading but also life threatening.

Different state governments of India regularly arrest fake education certificate rackets across India. Why does not Nepal government take action against those people who hold fake education certificates in Nepal? Photo credit: dnaindia.com     By LB THAPA Many governments have come and gone but none of them has ever shown enough courage to take action against the people who are serving in government jobs with fake educational certificates.    The past governments had shown tough attitudes and formed various committees to investigate the case, but the zeal of the government soon evaporated. Until now, except for a few cases, otherwise, no severe legal action has ever been taken against the people who have produced fake educational certificates. The fear of the government's hollow rhetoric for taking severe action against the fake education certificate holders seems to have gone.   When asked the headmaster of a government high school about the possible legal action against the teach
