<p><br />
&ldquo;Black money and corruption are the biggest obstacles in eradicating poverty,&rdquo; Modi said in an address to the nation adding &quot;New 500 and 2,000 rupee denomination notes will be issued at a later date.&quot;</p>

<p><br />
Modi also said militants operating against India were using fake versions of the 500 rupee note, worth about $7.50 at current exchange rates.</p>

<p><br />
&ldquo;Terrorism is a frightening thing &hellip; But have you ever thought about how these terrorists get their money? Enemies from across the border have run their operations using fake currency notes. This has been going on for years,&rdquo; Modi said.</p>

They expressed their worries on the increasing danger of bursting of water reservoir caused by the last year&rsquo;s devastating earthquake and its aftershocks. The water reservoir which is around one kilometer of breadth and three kilometer of length will cause huge damage in downstream area if breaks down, as per the locals.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
&ldquo;If the dam burst, it will affect Kulekhani, Sisneri, Manthali, Betani, Faparbari, Rai Gaun and many VDCs of Sarlahi including Bihar of India,&rdquo; says Subash Chandra Thakuri, Member of Parliamentary from Makawanpur. Kulekhani, the only water reservoir hydropower of the country is being used as power backup by Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA). The 92MW hydropower project is constructed in such a way that it can utilize the water in dry season that is collected in rainy season.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
The locals demanded to create secure environment by installing pre-information siren system considering the increasing dam insecurity. Stating the example of Cho Rolpa Lake where a siren is installed in dam area for security, the locals of Kulekhani demanded to install the system for the minimization of risk. The locals expressed their erk that the information about water level in the reservoir can be gotten from the Spokesperson in Kathmandu.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Badri Prasad Phuyal, senior engineer of the project rejects the claim that the reservoir will burst in any time soon.&nbsp;</p>

Bansbari Leather and Shoe factory was the pioneer to start manufacturing domestic footwear in 2021 BS. With the rise in demand of domestic footwears in the country, &nbsp;many more domestic footwear industries have been established in the country. As per the small and cottage scale industries, there are 850 registered footwear industries in Nepal. As per Footwear Manufacture&#39;s Association of Nepal, there are more than 2000 footwear factories operating in the country including both registered and non-registered. &nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />
According to Footwear Manufactures Association of Nepal, more than Rs 12 billion is invested in Nepali footwear industry. &quot;Given that the footwear factories produce quality products, the investment in the sector will further increases,&quot; said the association. The association also informed of providing direct employment to more than 100,000 people in the sector.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />
The association opined that the production of quality and attractive designs footwear has led to decline in the import of foreign footwear. Domestic footwear which occupied only 25-30 percent Nepali market before some years has now occupied 65 percent of the market. The remaining 35 percent is still occupied by foreign footwear.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Nepali footwear industry contributes one percent to the GDP of the country, say industrialists. The industrialists opine that the government should create favorable environment to foster the growth of footwear industries. &nbsp;Presently, Shikhar, Fit Rite, Royal Shoes, Takura and Glodstar are some of the popular Nepali footwear brands. According to Footwear Manufactures Association, among these brands the demand for Goldstar is increasing sharply both in national and international market.&nbsp;</p>

NTA extended additional one month period citing economical and technical preparation for the service providers.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The Authority had invited application from interested service providers to lay up optical fibre network in the provinces no 4 and 5 on last September 29. As per the scheduled plan, service providers were given time till November 11 to submit sealed auction tender. However, at the last minute, the telecommunication authority has extended the time limit by one month.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&quot;The time limit for submitting sealed auction tender has been extended as per the service providers&#39; requested so as to carry out technical and economical survey,&quot; said Min Prasad Aryal, Spokesperson of NTA.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&quot;As per the request of related service providers and the long holiday in between the period, the authority has extended the time by one month,&quot; he added. According to the new schedule, interest service provider companies can submit the sealed auction tender for optical fibre network till December 8.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Meanwhile, the NTA has been collecting two percent of annual income for rural telecommunication development fund from various service providers operating in the telecommunication sector. The Authority is utilising the same fund to lay optical fibre connecting the Mid-Hill Highway and neighbouring districts headquarter and urban areas.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Earlier, NTA and Nepal Telecom (NT) had made an agreement to lay the optical fibre from Aarughat of Gorkha to Chiyobhanjyan of Pachthar on the total cost of Rs 4.88 billion. Beside this, the fund still holds more than Rs 12 billion at present.</p>

The fibre will be laid connecting Aarughat of Gorkha to Burtibang of Baglung located at Mid-Hill Highway and various district headquarters under Provinces 4 and 5.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The NTA has invited proposal from the active licence holder service providers including basic telecommunication, mobile and network service providers to lay optical fibre in those areas. According to the Authority, service providers can apply for the project solely or jointly with a cap of two years period to complete the task. The service provider who asks for the least subsidy to complete the task in the competition will be allocated the project. The authority has clearly said that the subsidy amount should not exceed Rs 3 billion. The selected service provider will be granted the subsidy equivalent to auction tender amount through RTDF.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">According to the Authority, the sealed auction tender proposal will be unwrapped in the presence of all applicants. The &#39;bid security&#39; for the auction tender has been fixed at Rs 45 million minimum.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The laying of the optical fibre in both provinces will be completed through a single package. Under the package, a total of 2,117km optical fibre including 1,482 km underground and 635km ADSS will be set.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Similarly, under the project, 1,482km micro duct, 1,000 polls, 200 OTB, 21 Dense Wavelength Division Multiplex (DWDM), 1 NMS and 118 routers should be fixed. Likewise, under civil construction, 1,482 trenching and 1,000 Tower Installation should also be conducted.

<p><br />
&ldquo;Black money and corruption are the biggest obstacles in eradicating poverty,&rdquo; Modi said in an address to the nation adding &quot;New 500 and 2,000 rupee denomination notes will be issued at a later date.&quot;</p>

<p><br />
Modi also said militants operating against India were using fake versions of the 500 rupee note, worth about $7.50 at current exchange rates.</p>

<p><br />
&ldquo;Terrorism is a frightening thing &hellip; But have you ever thought about how these terrorists get their money? Enemies from across the border have run their operations using fake currency notes. This has been going on for years,&rdquo; Modi said.</p>

			'content' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">November 6: Nepali footwear industries, in the recent years, have been able to flourish in the domestic market. Bansbari Leather and Shoe factory was the pioneer to start manufacturing domestic footwear in 2021 BS. With the rise in demand of domestic footwears in the country, &nbsp;many more domestic footwear industries have been established in the country. As per the small and cottage scale industries, there are 850 registered footwear industries in Nepal. As per Footwear Manufacture&#39;s Association of Nepal, there are more than 2000 footwear factories operating in the country including both registered and non-registered. &nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />
According to Footwear Manufactures Association of Nepal, more than Rs 12 billion is invested in Nepali footwear industry. &quot;Given that the footwear factories produce quality products, the investment in the sector will further increases,&quot; said the association. The association also informed of providing direct employment to more than 100,000 people in the sector.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />
The association opined that the production of quality and attractive designs footwear has led to decline in the import of foreign footwear. Domestic footwear which occupied only 25-30 percent Nepali market before some years has now occupied 65 percent of the market. The remaining 35 percent is still occupied by foreign footwear.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Nepali footwear industry contributes one percent to the GDP of the country, say industrialists. The industrialists opine that the government should create favorable environment to foster the growth of footwear industries. &nbsp;Presently, Shikhar, Fit Rite, Royal Shoes, Takura and Glodstar are some of the popular Nepali footwear brands. According to Footwear Manufactures Association, among these brands the demand for Goldstar is increasing sharply both in national and international market.&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p style="text-align:justify">November 6: Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) is extending the period of selecting service provider in order to set up optical fibre network at provinces no 4 and 5. NTA extended additional one month period citing economical and technical preparation for the service providers.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The Authority had invited application from interested service providers to lay up optical fibre network in the provinces no 4 and 5 on last September 29. As per the scheduled plan, service providers were given time till November 11 to submit sealed auction tender. However, at the last minute, the telecommunication authority has extended the time limit by one month.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&quot;The time limit for submitting sealed auction tender has been extended as per the service providers&#39; requested so as to carry out technical and economical survey,&quot; said Min Prasad Aryal, Spokesperson of NTA.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&quot;As per the request of related service providers and the long holiday in between the period, the authority has extended the time by one month,&quot; he added. According to the new schedule, interest service provider companies can submit the sealed auction tender for optical fibre network till December 8.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Meanwhile, the NTA has been collecting two percent of annual income for rural telecommunication development fund from various service providers operating in the telecommunication sector. The Authority is utilising the same fund to lay optical fibre connecting the Mid-Hill Highway and neighbouring districts headquarter and urban areas.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Earlier, NTA and Nepal Telecom (NT) had made an agreement to lay the optical fibre from Aarughat of Gorkha to Chiyobhanjyan of Pachthar on the total cost of Rs 4.88 billion. Beside this, the fund still holds more than Rs 12 billion at present.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The telecommunication sector regulator is preparing to lay the fibre in the provinces 4 and 5 through a competition among the license holder service providers. The fibre will be laid connecting Aarughat of Gorkha to Burtibang of Baglung located at Mid-Hill Highway and various district headquarters under Provinces 4 and 5.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The NTA has invited proposal from the active licence holder service providers including basic telecommunication, mobile and network service providers to lay optical fibre in those areas. According to the Authority, service providers can apply for the project solely or jointly with a cap of two years period to complete the task. The service provider who asks for the least subsidy to complete the task in the competition will be allocated the project. The authority has clearly said that the subsidy amount should not exceed Rs 3 billion. The selected service provider will be granted the subsidy equivalent to auction tender amount through RTDF.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">According to the Authority, the sealed auction tender proposal will be unwrapped in the presence of all applicants. The &#39;bid security&#39; for the auction tender has been fixed at Rs 45 million minimum.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The laying of the optical fibre in both provinces will be completed through a single package. Under the package, a total of 2,117km optical fibre including 1,482 km underground and 635km ADSS will be set.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Similarly, under the project, 1,482km micro duct, 1,000 polls, 200 OTB, 21 Dense Wavelength Division Multiplex (DWDM), 1 NMS and 118 routers should be fixed. Likewise, under civil construction, 1,482 trenching and 1,000 Tower Installation should also be conducted. Interested service providers will have to submit the sealed auction tender disclosing all costs to set the fibre to the NTA.</p>

&ldquo;Terrorism is a frightening thing &hellip; But have you ever thought about how these terrorists get their money? Enemies from across the border have run their operations using fake currency notes. This has been going on for years,&rdquo; Modi said.</p>
