			'content' => '<p>March 21: Foreign tourists in Nepal can now exchange Nepali currency from POS (Point of Sales) machines using their international cards. POS machines will make the exchanging procedure easier for the tourists.</p>

<p>Earlier, travelers were compelled to carry cash to exchange their currency which was unsafe considering theft and the policy binding them to carry money equivalent to only USD 2500. Thus, the new exchange protocol has made the exchange of currency easier with the use of cards.</p>

<p>The new provision was made by the Nepal Rastra Bank after amending the integrated circular 2074 keeping in mind the convenience of the travelers. The circular has made it mandatory for any bank or financial institution to inform the central bank about the transaction of foreign exchange.</p>

<p>After analyzing the foreign currency exchange policy, the central bank directed BFIs for POS provision, informed Rajendra Pandit, deputy spokesperson at Nepal Rastra Bank. Money exchangers had also been demanding for such provision, he added.</p>

<p>Previously, travelers were amazed and worried to know about lack of POS technology in Nepal. Many were troubled by the absence of such technology but now after the implementation of the provision they are expected to spend more in Nepal.</p>

<p>Foreigners can now exchange Nepali currency using any of Visa International, MasterCard and Union Pay international card from POS machines. Money exchangers are allowed to mark their exchange charges but the rates should be in Nepali currency. The charges will be marked according to the agreement between banks and money exchangers as per the amended circular issued by the central bank.</p>

<p>According to Foreign Exchange Management Department, money exchangers are required to mandatorily collect a copy of the customers&rsquo; passport in case of foreigners whereas a copy of relief card will make Indians eligible for the transaction.</p>

<p>The chief observer of the EUEOM, Zeljana Zovko, presented the final report to the Government of Nepal, the Election Commission of Nepal, political parties, observer groups, and civil society amid a press conference held in the capital on Tuesday, March 20.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I am very pleased to present our final report as it brings together the findings and analysis of our observations over the period the mission was in Nepal, as well as comprehensive recommendations for future elections,&quot; stated Zovko. She further explained that the European Union remained committed to work with Nepalese partners on strengthening the democratic process of the country and would continue to take keen interest in electoral reform Nepal in coming days.</p>

<p>According to the report, the overall elections concluded on November 26 and December 7 indicated a key milestone in the implementation of the Constitution of Nepal 2015, with the legal framework providing a good basis for the conduct of elections. However, a great deal of the body of electoral law was enacted less than three months before the election, which meant that there was insufficient time for dissemination, reads the report. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The report showed some weak areas during the campaign stating that although the Election Commission of Nepal (ECN) performed its duties impartially, there lacked transparency in its work. There was no mechanism for regular consultations with election stakeholders, and the ECN failed to publish critical information on polling centre turnout and invalid votes. There were also procedural weaknesses, particularly in relation to reconciliation of ballots. Voter education also seemed inadequate to some areas, states the report.</p>

<p>Despite a series of violent attacks on candidates, all the political freedom including right to vote and to stand for election, and freedom of association, assembly and expression prevailed with well respect during the election.</p>

<p>In the first phase, NOC had introduced this system to check leakage of fuel imported from Siliguri of West Bengal of India. The government decided to implement the locking system due to increasing cases of fuel theft on the way. The locking system was formally inaugurated only a few days ago, informed Sushil Bhattarai, chief executive of NOC.</p>

<p>According to NOC, it is planning to implement the locking system from the two border points -- Betalpur and Gonda -- within March 29.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Though some inconvenience was felt at the beginning, the situation has become normal now,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Drivers of the fuel tankers had protested the decision at first. According to Bhattarai, NOC is planning to implement the system in all tankers within three months.</p>

<p>A team of NOC had conducted a long study with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on the implementation of the locking system. Bhattarai assured that with the implementation of the locking system, the chances of fuel theft will get minimize.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The locking system of IOC is of international level and the same design is being implemented in Nepal,&rdquo; informed Bhattarai. The keys of locking system are only with the head of NOC and IOC and that is why the theft will come to an end, claimed Bhattarai.</p>

They expressed such views during a panel discussion &lsquo;Doing Business in Federal Nepal: Global Experience and Lessons for Nepal&rsquo; organised by Nepal Economic Forum on March 19, Monday.</p>

<p>The participants of the programme said that federal structure will provide equal opportunity to all layers of the state.</p>

<p>According to Lejla Catti, public finance and governance expert from Bosnia and Herzegovina, &nbsp;accountability is the most important factor in all levels of fiscal federalism. She said that under federalism, creating balance in public spending and tax is the most challenging part.</p>

<p>According to economist Catti, development can take place if the government takes a flexible policy and develop transparent system. According to former vice president of National Planning Commission, Shankar Sharma, fiscal federalism is in the initial stage and it will take time to address the challenges related to it. &nbsp;He shared that federalism will give a good opportunity to the state and the local governments and this opportunity should be fully utilised.</p>

<p>&ldquo;To make federalism more effective, the government should be clear on what work they should do,&rdquo; said Rajiv Malhotra, professor at Jindal School of Government and Public Policy, India. According to him, if there is conflict and confusion among the federal government, expected development cannot be achieved in a country. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The panel discussion moderated by Sujiv Shakya, chairman of Nepal Economic Forum, saw the participation of policy makers, media persons, experts and students.</p>

<p>They also highlighted the fact that the region will be among one of the most economically prosperous regions if the governments work together on different infrastructure projects.</p>

<p>Speaking at the inauguration of the 6<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;SAARC Business Leaders&rsquo; Conclave, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli said that the government was ready to move ahead by forging partnership with South Asian countries with the end of the long-running political transition.</p>

<p>The conclave was organized by the SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SAARC-CCI) in collaboration with different organizations from March 16 to 18 in Kathmandu. &ldquo;With the end of the long-running political transition, the partnership should be aimed at tapping into the resources available in the country for economic development of the region,&rdquo; he said, urging foreign investors to make investments in Nepal as the country is marching towards economic development.</p>

<p>Likewise, Bhawani Rana, president of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), said that all the member states of SAARC should work for the wellbeing of the people through trade and investment promotion. &ldquo;The focus should be on connectivity in the region through railway, roadway and airline operation. Connectivity will make possible impact on economy and the people of the region,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>The three-day conclave saw the participation of more than 300 representatives from SAARC member countries. Different sessions of panel discussion on trade, opportunities, and cooperation among the SAARC region were held during the conclave.</p>

<p>&ldquo;This is the region of opportunities as the combined economy of the region is the fifth largest in the world in terms of gross domestic product (GDP). The combined GDP of the South Asian region was $2.6 trillion in 2016, and is projected to grow to $6.5 trillion by 2030,&rdquo; Suraj Vaidya, president of SAARC-CCI said.</p>

<p>He further added that the region is marching towards development and prosperity, and for that the governments of the region should work to increase connectivity, which will increase trade among the countries.</p>

			'content' => '<p>March 20: Construction of the Central Bhote Koshi Hydropower Plant has been halted since the past two months. The hydropower project which was supposed to be completed by June last year has only met 40 percent of completion. Ministry of Energy had provided additional two years for the completion of the project but the construction is yet again stopped, according to Project Manager Sunil Kumar Lama.</p>

<p>According to Lama, late approval of the power house design has been hitting the construction of the project. He also expressed doubts towards the contractor&rsquo;s performance since the past four years.</p>

<p>Earlier, Anup Kumar Upadhyay, secretary at the Ministry of Energy and Kul Mann Ghising, CEO of Nepal Electricity Authority had directed the contractor to accomplish the project within the allotted time. Kul Mann Ghising had also visited the project site for inspection and gave some suggestions to the project management team. Besides, he requested both the management and contractors to inform him about the timeframe for the construction.</p>

<p>Chinese company Kwangsi was awarded the contract for designing. Another company named Andraj has been awarded with the construction of Hydro Mechanical works of the project but is waiting for Kwangsi to finish its work. Hydro Mechanical works can only be initiated after the completion of civil engineering works.</p>

<p>Previously, CEO for Kwangsi had committed for speedy work but he has hardly been seen at the project site, stated Project Manager Lama. He travelled back to China and only arrived in Nepal about two weeks ago, added Lama.</p>

<p>Lama informed that construction of the dam was scheduled to completed before the start of 2075 BS but the project has been halted for more than two months which indeed will affect the schedule. He mentioned that if the design was finalized, the construction would have been moving ahead. According to him, if the design won&#39;t get ready then the construction will yet be affected during the monsoon when the river bank will be overflowed with rain water.</p>

<p>&nbsp;The project was also hit by landslides, floods, earthquakes and economic blockade of India. Meanwhile, the delay in part of the contractor is adding more trouble in the construction.</p>

<p>The initial estimated budget of the project is Rs 12 billion 280 million.</p>

<p>Central Bhote Koshi Hydro Power Project will generate a total of 542 million units of electricity worth Rs 2 billion 904 million revenue.&nbsp;</p>

Issuing a press statement, the company said the enhanced consumer portfolio of ESET offers high level of protection. &ldquo;ESET products provide the ultimate security.

<p>Earlier, travelers were compelled to carry cash to exchange their currency which was unsafe considering theft and the policy binding them to carry money equivalent to only USD 2500. Thus, the new exchange protocol has made the exchange of currency easier with the use of cards.</p>

<p>The new provision was made by the Nepal Rastra Bank after amending the integrated circular 2074 keeping in mind the convenience of the travelers. The circular has made it mandatory for any bank or financial institution to inform the central bank about the transaction of foreign exchange.</p>

<p>After analyzing the foreign currency exchange policy, the central bank directed BFIs for POS provision, informed Rajendra Pandit, deputy spokesperson at Nepal Rastra Bank. Money exchangers had also been demanding for such provision, he added.</p>

<p>Previously, travelers were amazed and worried to know about lack of POS technology in Nepal. Many were troubled by the absence of such technology but now after the implementation of the provision they are expected to spend more in Nepal.</p>

<p>Foreigners can now exchange Nepali currency using any of Visa International, MasterCard and Union Pay international card from POS machines. Money exchangers are allowed to mark their exchange charges but the rates should be in Nepali currency. The charges will be marked according to the agreement between banks and money exchangers as per the amended circular issued by the central bank.</p>

<p>According to Foreign Exchange Management Department, money exchangers are required to mandatorily collect a copy of the customers&rsquo; passport in case of foreigners whereas a copy of relief card will make Indians eligible for the transaction.</p>

<p>The chief observer of the EUEOM, Zeljana Zovko, presented the final report to the Government of Nepal, the Election Commission of Nepal, political parties, observer groups, and civil society amid a press conference held in the capital on Tuesday, March 20.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I am very pleased to present our final report as it brings together the findings and analysis of our observations over the period the mission was in Nepal, as well as comprehensive recommendations for future elections,&quot; stated Zovko. She further explained that the European Union remained committed to work with Nepalese partners on strengthening the democratic process of the country and would continue to take keen interest in electoral reform Nepal in coming days.</p>

<p>According to the report, the overall elections concluded on November 26 and December 7 indicated a key milestone in the implementation of the Constitution of Nepal 2015, with the legal framework providing a good basis for the conduct of elections. However, a great deal of the body of electoral law was enacted less than three months before the election, which meant that there was insufficient time for dissemination, reads the report. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The report showed some weak areas during the campaign stating that although the Election Commission of Nepal (ECN) performed its duties impartially, there lacked transparency in its work. There was no mechanism for regular consultations with election stakeholders, and the ECN failed to publish critical information on polling centre turnout and invalid votes. There were also procedural weaknesses, particularly in relation to reconciliation of ballots. Voter education also seemed inadequate to some areas, states the report.</p>

<p>Despite a series of violent attacks on candidates, all the political freedom including right to vote and to stand for election, and freedom of association, assembly and expression prevailed with well respect during the election.</p>

More than 500 people including doctors, dental assistants, dental students from various dental colleges in Kathmandu, general public and representatives of Unilever Nepal Limited participated in this rally.</p>

<p>This time, Pepsodent and NDA said they tied up with Bir Hospital to organize free dental check-ups as well.</p>

<p>Under the coordination of Dr Bishwa Prachanda Sedai, the NDA decided to hold weeklong dental camps from March 16 to 22, offering free oral and dental check-up in every dental college, hospital and clinic all over Nepal.</p>

<p>According to FDI (World Dental Federation), brushing teeth twice with fluoridated toothpaste like Pepsodent helps save teeth and gums to a greater extent. Pepsodent, one of the trusted and popular brands of Unilever, said it has been playing a significant role in Nepal&rsquo;s oral health care for a long time.</p>

<p>&ldquo;If oral health is properly taken care of, it enhances one&rsquo;s personality and self confidence. Brushing teeth with flouridated toothpaste kills 95 percent bacteria in two minutes,&rdquo; reads the statement.</p>

<p>Pepsodent claimed that it has been working constantly to promote oral health in Nepal with various activities like dental camps, school awareness programs, smile carnival etc.</p>

<p>In the first phase, NOC had introduced this system to check leakage of fuel imported from Siliguri of West Bengal of India. The government decided to implement the locking system due to increasing cases of fuel theft on the way. The locking system was formally inaugurated only a few days ago, informed Sushil Bhattarai, chief executive of NOC.</p>

<p>According to NOC, it is planning to implement the locking system from the two border points -- Betalpur and Gonda -- within March 29.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Though some inconvenience was felt at the beginning, the situation has become normal now,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Drivers of the fuel tankers had protested the decision at first. According to Bhattarai, NOC is planning to implement the system in all tankers within three months.</p>

<p>A team of NOC had conducted a long study with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on the implementation of the locking system. Bhattarai assured that with the implementation of the locking system, the chances of fuel theft will get minimize.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The locking system of IOC is of international level and the same design is being implemented in Nepal,&rdquo; informed Bhattarai. The keys of locking system are only with the head of NOC and IOC and that is why the theft will come to an end, claimed Bhattarai.</p>

They expressed such views during a panel discussion &lsquo;Doing Business in Federal Nepal: Global Experience and Lessons for Nepal&rsquo; organised by Nepal Economic Forum on March 19, Monday.</p>

<p>The participants of the programme said that federal structure will provide equal opportunity to all layers of the state.</p>

<p>According to Lejla Catti, public finance and governance expert from Bosnia and Herzegovina, &nbsp;accountability is the most important factor in all levels of fiscal federalism. She said that under federalism, creating balance in public spending and tax is the most challenging part.</p>

<p>According to economist Catti, development can take place if the government takes a flexible policy and develop transparent system. According to former vice president of National Planning Commission, Shankar Sharma, fiscal federalism is in the initial stage and it will take time to address the challenges related to it. &nbsp;He shared that federalism will give a good opportunity to the state and the local governments and this opportunity should be fully utilised.</p>

<p>&ldquo;To make federalism more effective, the government should be clear on what work they should do,&rdquo; said Rajiv Malhotra, professor at Jindal School of Government and Public Policy, India. According to him, if there is conflict and confusion among the federal government, expected development cannot be achieved in a country. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The panel discussion moderated by Sujiv Shakya, chairman of Nepal Economic Forum, saw the participation of policy makers, media persons, experts and students.</p>

<p>They also highlighted the fact that the region will be among one of the most economically prosperous regions if the governments work together on different infrastructure projects.</p>

<p>Speaking at the inauguration of the 6<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;SAARC Business Leaders&rsquo; Conclave, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli said that the government was ready to move ahead by forging partnership with South Asian countries with the end of the long-running political transition.</p>

<p>The conclave was organized by the SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SAARC-CCI) in collaboration with different organizations from March 16 to 18 in Kathmandu. &ldquo;With the end of the long-running political transition, the partnership should be aimed at tapping into the resources available in the country for economic development of the region,&rdquo; he said, urging foreign investors to make investments in Nepal as the country is marching towards economic development.</p>

<p>Likewise, Bhawani Rana, president of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), said that all the member states of SAARC should work for the wellbeing of the people through trade and investment promotion. &ldquo;The focus should be on connectivity in the region through railway, roadway and airline operation. Connectivity will make possible impact on economy and the people of the region,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>The three-day conclave saw the participation of more than 300 representatives from SAARC member countries. Different sessions of panel discussion on trade, opportunities, and cooperation among the SAARC region were held during the conclave.</p>

<p>&ldquo;This is the region of opportunities as the combined economy of the region is the fifth largest in the world in terms of gross domestic product (GDP). The combined GDP of the South Asian region was $2.6 trillion in 2016, and is projected to grow to $6.5 trillion by 2030,&rdquo; Suraj Vaidya, president of SAARC-CCI said.</p>

<p>He further added that the region is marching towards development and prosperity, and for that the governments of the region should work to increase connectivity, which will increase trade among the countries.</p>

The hydropower project which was supposed to be completed by June last year has only met 40 percent of completion. Ministry of Energy had provided additional two years for the completion of the project but the construction is yet again stopped, according to Project Manager Sunil Kumar Lama.</p>

<p>According to Lama, late approval of the power house design has been hitting the construction of the project. He also expressed doubts towards the contractor&rsquo;s performance since the past four years.</p>

<p>Earlier, Anup Kumar Upadhyay, secretary at the Ministry of Energy and Kul Mann Ghising, CEO of Nepal Electricity Authority had directed the contractor to accomplish the project within the allotted time. Kul Mann Ghising had also visited the project site for inspection and gave some suggestions to the project management team. Besides, he requested both the management and contractors to inform him about the timeframe for the construction.</p>

<p>Chinese company Kwangsi was awarded the contract for designing. Another company named Andraj has been awarded with the construction of Hydro Mechanical works of the project but is waiting for Kwangsi to finish its work. Hydro Mechanical works can only be initiated after the completion of civil engineering works.</p>

<p>Previously, CEO for Kwangsi had committed for speedy work but he has hardly been seen at the project site, stated Project Manager Lama. He travelled back to China and only arrived in Nepal about two weeks ago, added Lama.</p>

<p>Lama informed that construction of the dam was scheduled to completed before the start of 2075 BS but the project has been halted for more than two months which indeed will affect the schedule. He mentioned that if the design was finalized, the construction would have been moving ahead. According to him, if the design won&#39;t get ready then the construction will yet be affected during the monsoon when the river bank will be overflowed with rain water.</p>

<p>&nbsp;The project was also hit by landslides, floods, earthquakes and economic blockade of India. Meanwhile, the delay in part of the contractor is adding more trouble in the construction.</p>

<p>The initial estimated budget of the project is Rs 12 billion 280 million.</p>

<p>Central Bhote Koshi Hydro Power Project will generate a total of 542 million units of electricity worth Rs 2 billion 904 million revenue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier, travelers were compelled to carry cash to exchange their currency which was unsafe considering theft and the policy binding them to carry money equivalent to only USD 2500. Thus, the new exchange protocol has made the exchange of currency easier with the use of cards.</p>

<p>The new provision was made by the Nepal Rastra Bank after amending the integrated circular 2074 keeping in mind the convenience of the travelers. The circular has made it mandatory for any bank or financial institution to inform the central bank about the transaction of foreign exchange.</p>

<p>After analyzing the foreign currency exchange policy, the central bank directed BFIs for POS provision, informed Rajendra Pandit, deputy spokesperson at Nepal Rastra Bank. Money exchangers had also been demanding for such provision, he added.</p>

<p>Previously, travelers were amazed and worried to know about lack of POS technology in Nepal. Many were troubled by the absence of such technology but now after the implementation of the provision they are expected to spend more in Nepal.</p>

<p>Foreigners can now exchange Nepali currency using any of Visa International, MasterCard and Union Pay international card from POS machines. Money exchangers are allowed to mark their exchange charges but the rates should be in Nepali currency. The charges will be marked according to the agreement between banks and money exchangers as per the amended circular issued by the central bank.</p>

<p>According to Foreign Exchange Management Department, money exchangers are required to mandatorily collect a copy of the customers&rsquo; passport in case of foreigners whereas a copy of relief card will make Indians eligible for the transaction.</p>

<p>The chief observer of the EUEOM, Zeljana Zovko, presented the final report to the Government of Nepal, the Election Commission of Nepal, political parties, observer groups, and civil society amid a press conference held in the capital on Tuesday, March 20.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I am very pleased to present our final report as it brings together the findings and analysis of our observations over the period the mission was in Nepal, as well as comprehensive recommendations for future elections,&quot; stated Zovko. She further explained that the European Union remained committed to work with Nepalese partners on strengthening the democratic process of the country and would continue to take keen interest in electoral reform Nepal in coming days.</p>

<p>According to the report, the overall elections concluded on November 26 and December 7 indicated a key milestone in the implementation of the Constitution of Nepal 2015, with the legal framework providing a good basis for the conduct of elections. However, a great deal of the body of electoral law was enacted less than three months before the election, which meant that there was insufficient time for dissemination, reads the report. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The report showed some weak areas during the campaign stating that although the Election Commission of Nepal (ECN) performed its duties impartially, there lacked transparency in its work. There was no mechanism for regular consultations with election stakeholders, and the ECN failed to publish critical information on polling centre turnout and invalid votes. There were also procedural weaknesses, particularly in relation to reconciliation of ballots. Voter education also seemed inadequate to some areas, states the report.</p>

<p>Despite a series of violent attacks on candidates, all the political freedom including right to vote and to stand for election, and freedom of association, assembly and expression prevailed with well respect during the election.</p>

<p>In the first phase, NOC had introduced this system to check leakage of fuel imported from Siliguri of West Bengal of India. The government decided to implement the locking system due to increasing cases of fuel theft on the way. The locking system was formally inaugurated only a few days ago, informed Sushil Bhattarai, chief executive of NOC.</p>

<p>According to NOC, it is planning to implement the locking system from the two border points -- Betalpur and Gonda -- within March 29.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Though some inconvenience was felt at the beginning, the situation has become normal now,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Drivers of the fuel tankers had protested the decision at first. According to Bhattarai, NOC is planning to implement the system in all tankers within three months.</p>

<p>A team of NOC had conducted a long study with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on the implementation of the locking system. Bhattarai assured that with the implementation of the locking system, the chances of fuel theft will get minimize.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The locking system of IOC is of international level and the same design is being implemented in Nepal,&rdquo; informed Bhattarai. The keys of locking system are only with the head of NOC and IOC and that is why the theft will come to an end, claimed Bhattarai.</p>

<p>The participants of the programme said that federal structure will provide equal opportunity to all layers of the state.</p>

<p>According to Lejla Catti, public finance and governance expert from Bosnia and Herzegovina, &nbsp;accountability is the most important factor in all levels of fiscal federalism. She said that under federalism, creating balance in public spending and tax is the most challenging part.</p>

<p>According to economist Catti, development can take place if the government takes a flexible policy and develop transparent system. According to former vice president of National Planning Commission, Shankar Sharma, fiscal federalism is in the initial stage and it will take time to address the challenges related to it. &nbsp;He shared that federalism will give a good opportunity to the state and the local governments and this opportunity should be fully utilised.</p>

<p>&ldquo;To make federalism more effective, the government should be clear on what work they should do,&rdquo; said Rajiv Malhotra, professor at Jindal School of Government and Public Policy, India. According to him, if there is conflict and confusion among the federal government, expected development cannot be achieved in a country. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The panel discussion moderated by Sujiv Shakya, chairman of Nepal Economic Forum, saw the participation of policy makers, media persons, experts and students.</p>

			'content' => '<p>March 20: Construction of the Central Bhote Koshi Hydropower Plant has been halted since the past two months. The hydropower project which was supposed to be completed by June last year has only met 40 percent of completion. Ministry of Energy had provided additional two years for the completion of the project but the construction is yet again stopped, according to Project Manager Sunil Kumar Lama.</p>

<p>According to Lama, late approval of the power house design has been hitting the construction of the project. He also expressed doubts towards the contractor&rsquo;s performance since the past four years.</p>

<p>Earlier, Anup Kumar Upadhyay, secretary at the Ministry of Energy and Kul Mann Ghising, CEO of Nepal Electricity Authority had directed the contractor to accomplish the project within the allotted time. Kul Mann Ghising had also visited the project site for inspection and gave some suggestions to the project management team. Besides, he requested both the management and contractors to inform him about the timeframe for the construction.</p>

<p>Chinese company Kwangsi was awarded the contract for designing. Another company named Andraj has been awarded with the construction of Hydro Mechanical works of the project but is waiting for Kwangsi to finish its work. Hydro Mechanical works can only be initiated after the completion of civil engineering works.</p>

<p>Previously, CEO for Kwangsi had committed for speedy work but he has hardly been seen at the project site, stated Project Manager Lama. He travelled back to China and only arrived in Nepal about two weeks ago, added Lama.</p>

<p>Lama informed that construction of the dam was scheduled to completed before the start of 2075 BS but the project has been halted for more than two months which indeed will affect the schedule. He mentioned that if the design was finalized, the construction would have been moving ahead. According to him, if the design won&#39;t get ready then the construction will yet be affected during the monsoon when the river bank will be overflowed with rain water.</p>

<p>&nbsp;The project was also hit by landslides, floods, earthquakes and economic blockade of India. Meanwhile, the delay in part of the contractor is adding more trouble in the construction.</p>

<p>The initial estimated budget of the project is Rs 12 billion 280 million.</p>

<p>Central Bhote Koshi Hydro Power Project will generate a total of 542 million units of electricity worth Rs 2 billion 904 million revenue.&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>March 21: Foreign tourists in Nepal can now exchange Nepali currency from POS (Point of Sales) machines using their international cards. POS machines will make the exchanging procedure easier for the tourists.</p>

<p>Earlier, travelers were compelled to carry cash to exchange their currency which was unsafe considering theft and the policy binding them to carry money equivalent to only USD 2500. Thus, the new exchange protocol has made the exchange of currency easier with the use of cards.</p>

<p>The new provision was made by the Nepal Rastra Bank after amending the integrated circular 2074 keeping in mind the convenience of the travelers. The circular has made it mandatory for any bank or financial institution to inform the central bank about the transaction of foreign exchange.</p>

<p>After analyzing the foreign currency exchange policy, the central bank directed BFIs for POS provision, informed Rajendra Pandit, deputy spokesperson at Nepal Rastra Bank. Money exchangers had also been demanding for such provision, he added.</p>

<p>Previously, travelers were amazed and worried to know about lack of POS technology in Nepal. Many were troubled by the absence of such technology but now after the implementation of the provision they are expected to spend more in Nepal.</p>

<p>Foreigners can now exchange Nepali currency using any of Visa International, MasterCard and Union Pay international card from POS machines. Money exchangers are allowed to mark their exchange charges but the rates should be in Nepali currency. The charges will be marked according to the agreement between banks and money exchangers as per the amended circular issued by the central bank.</p>

<p>According to Foreign Exchange Management Department, money exchangers are required to mandatorily collect a copy of the customers&rsquo; passport in case of foreigners whereas a copy of relief card will make Indians eligible for the transaction.</p>

<p>The chief observer of the EUEOM, Zeljana Zovko, presented the final report to the Government of Nepal, the Election Commission of Nepal, political parties, observer groups, and civil society amid a press conference held in the capital on Tuesday, March 20.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I am very pleased to present our final report as it brings together the findings and analysis of our observations over the period the mission was in Nepal, as well as comprehensive recommendations for future elections,&quot; stated Zovko. She further explained that the European Union remained committed to work with Nepalese partners on strengthening the democratic process of the country and would continue to take keen interest in electoral reform Nepal in coming days.</p>

<p>According to the report, the overall elections concluded on November 26 and December 7 indicated a key milestone in the implementation of the Constitution of Nepal 2015, with the legal framework providing a good basis for the conduct of elections. However, a great deal of the body of electoral law was enacted less than three months before the election, which meant that there was insufficient time for dissemination, reads the report. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The report showed some weak areas during the campaign stating that although the Election Commission of Nepal (ECN) performed its duties impartially, there lacked transparency in its work. There was no mechanism for regular consultations with election stakeholders, and the ECN failed to publish critical information on polling centre turnout and invalid votes. There were also procedural weaknesses, particularly in relation to reconciliation of ballots. Voter education also seemed inadequate to some areas, states the report.</p>

<p>Despite a series of violent attacks on candidates, all the political freedom including right to vote and to stand for election, and freedom of association, assembly and expression prevailed with well respect during the election.</p>

<p>In the first phase, NOC had introduced this system to check leakage of fuel imported from Siliguri of West Bengal of India. The government decided to implement the locking system due to increasing cases of fuel theft on the way. The locking system was formally inaugurated only a few days ago, informed Sushil Bhattarai, chief executive of NOC.</p>

<p>According to NOC, it is planning to implement the locking system from the two border points -- Betalpur and Gonda -- within March 29.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Though some inconvenience was felt at the beginning, the situation has become normal now,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Drivers of the fuel tankers had protested the decision at first. According to Bhattarai, NOC is planning to implement the system in all tankers within three months.</p>

<p>A team of NOC had conducted a long study with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on the implementation of the locking system. Bhattarai assured that with the implementation of the locking system, the chances of fuel theft will get minimize.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The locking system of IOC is of international level and the same design is being implemented in Nepal,&rdquo; informed Bhattarai. The keys of locking system are only with the head of NOC and IOC and that is why the theft will come to an end, claimed Bhattarai.</p>

They expressed such views during a panel discussion &lsquo;Doing Business in Federal Nepal: Global Experience and Lessons for Nepal&rsquo; organised by Nepal Economic Forum on March 19, Monday.</p>

<p>The participants of the programme said that federal structure will provide equal opportunity to all layers of the state.</p>

<p>According to Lejla Catti, public finance and governance expert from Bosnia and Herzegovina, &nbsp;accountability is the most important factor in all levels of fiscal federalism. She said that under federalism, creating balance in public spending and tax is the most challenging part.</p>

<p>According to economist Catti, development can take place if the government takes a flexible policy and develop transparent system. According to former vice president of National Planning Commission, Shankar Sharma, fiscal federalism is in the initial stage and it will take time to address the challenges related to it. &nbsp;He shared that federalism will give a good opportunity to the state and the local governments and this opportunity should be fully utilised.</p>

<p>&ldquo;To make federalism more effective, the government should be clear on what work they should do,&rdquo; said Rajiv Malhotra, professor at Jindal School of Government and Public Policy, India. According to him, if there is conflict and confusion among the federal government, expected development cannot be achieved in a country. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The panel discussion moderated by Sujiv Shakya, chairman of Nepal Economic Forum, saw the participation of policy makers, media persons, experts and students.</p>

<p>Speaking at the inauguration of the 6<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;SAARC Business Leaders&rsquo; Conclave, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli said that the government was ready to move ahead by forging partnership with South Asian countries with the end of the long-running political transition.</p>

<p>The conclave was organized by the SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SAARC-CCI) in collaboration with different organizations from March 16 to 18 in Kathmandu. &ldquo;With the end of the long-running political transition, the partnership should be aimed at tapping into the resources available in the country for economic development of the region,&rdquo; he said, urging foreign investors to make investments in Nepal as the country is marching towards economic development.</p>

<p>Likewise, Bhawani Rana, president of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), said that all the member states of SAARC should work for the wellbeing of the people through trade and investment promotion. &ldquo;The focus should be on connectivity in the region through railway, roadway and airline operation.

			'content' => '<p>March 20: Construction of the Central Bhote Koshi Hydropower Plant has been halted since the past two months. The hydropower project which was supposed to be completed by June last year has only met 40 percent of completion. Ministry of Energy had provided additional two years for the completion of the project but the construction is yet again stopped, according to Project Manager Sunil Kumar Lama.</p>

<p>According to Lama, late approval of the power house design has been hitting the construction of the project. He also expressed doubts towards the contractor&rsquo;s performance since the past four years.</p>

<p>Earlier, Anup Kumar Upadhyay, secretary at the Ministry of Energy and Kul Mann Ghising, CEO of Nepal Electricity Authority had directed the contractor to accomplish the project within the allotted time. Kul Mann Ghising had also visited the project site for inspection and gave some suggestions to the project management team. Besides, he requested both the management and contractors to inform him about the timeframe for the construction.</p>

<p>Chinese company Kwangsi was awarded the contract for designing. Another company named Andraj has been awarded with the construction of Hydro Mechanical works of the project but is waiting for Kwangsi to finish its work. Hydro Mechanical works can only be initiated after the completion of civil engineering works.</p>

<p>Previously, CEO for Kwangsi had committed for speedy work but he has hardly been seen at the project site, stated Project Manager Lama. He travelled back to China and only arrived in Nepal about two weeks ago, added Lama.</p>

<p>Lama informed that construction of the dam was scheduled to completed before the start of 2075 BS but the project has been halted for more than two months which indeed will affect the schedule. He mentioned that if the design was finalized, the construction would have been moving ahead. According to him, if the design won&#39;t get ready then the construction will yet be affected during the monsoon when the river bank will be overflowed with rain water.</p>

<p>&nbsp;The project was also hit by landslides, floods, earthquakes and economic blockade of India. Meanwhile, the delay in part of the contractor is adding more trouble in the construction.</p>

<p>The initial estimated budget of the project is Rs 12 billion 280 million.</p>

<p>Central Bhote Koshi Hydro Power Project will generate a total of 542 million units of electricity worth Rs 2 billion 904 million revenue.&nbsp;</p>
