A full bench of justices Kedar Prasad Chalise, Hari Krishna Karki and Purushottam Bhandari issued the verdict on September 17.</p>

<p>The apex court&rsquo;s verdict comes in response to seven separate writ petitions filed by individuals affected by the government&rsquo;s road expansion drive within the Kathmandu valley.</p>

<p>Around 200 residents residing along the road section from Tripureshwar to Nagdhunga as well as those from Chabahil, Koteshwar among other places had filed the writ. The petitioners had demanded the government to carry on with the expansion drive only after providing them adequate compensation.</p>

<p>The government had stopped the road expansion works after the valley denizens filed the writ petitions. The government had adopted a policy to expand the width of major roads to 25 meters on both sides from the center of the road. The petitioners had claimed that only highways should be of 50 meters wide and have requested the government only to expand the road to a maximum of 16 meters.&nbsp;</p>

It was reported that a truck carrying beer from Gorkha Brewery of Nawalparasi to Kathmandu met with an accident in Icchyakamana of Chitwan about a week ago.</p>

<p>After almost ten days of investigation, police solved the mystery behind the accident of the truck with registration number Na 5 Kha 7297 that took place on September 10.</p>

<p>Under the influence of Ujjwal Kandel, 30, of Manahari Rural Municipality in Hetauda, &nbsp;truck driver Santosh Khatri, 28, of Hetauda-11 agreed to fake the accident to get the insurance amount for the beer and the vehicle, investigation showed.</p>

<p>According to Dilip Raj Jha, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) at the District Police Office (DPO), the truck which was loaded with 1,400 cartons of beer from Gorkha Brewery shifted 1,200 cartons in another truck at Geetanagar, Chitwan and the truck with 200 cartons headed for Kathmandu. The truck was made to fall from Narayani river at Jalabire and the nearby police post at Mugling was informed about the accident.</p>

<p>The truck carrying 1,200 cartons of beer went to Hetauda and hid in a house at Manakamana Road. The next day, the conspirators hid 537 cartons of beer in the house of Mani Lama and 426 in Buddha Lama&rsquo;s house. Police seized the beer, whose market price is Rs 3.7 million, from &nbsp;the two houses, said DSP Jha.</p>

<p>Jha informed that four people involved in the crime and 960 cartons of beer have been sent to DPO, Chitwan for further action.&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>September 18: The World Bank has warned that the economic growth is likely to be lower than earlier forecast and is expected to average 4.5 percent over the next two fiscal years because of the floods.</p>

<p>In its semi-annual assessment of economic performance, the World Bank reported that economic activity in Nepal, which rebounded strongly in fiscal year 2017, has been impacted once again by severe floods affecting over a third of the country.</p>

<p>Damaging floods in mid-August are likely to affect agriculture, economic activity, and poverty reduction efforts even up to FY 2018.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;Economic growth is expected to be lower than earlier forecast and is expected to average 4.5 percent over the next two fiscal years,&rdquo; says Sudyumna Dahal, World Bank economist and principal author of the latest Nepal Development Update.</p>

<p>According to the report, the floods have affected over 5 percent of the total population, with several districts recording the heaviest rainfall in 60 years. Over 80 percent of land in the southern Tarai, the country&rsquo;s food basket, was affected. Estimates of destroyed crops at 64,000 hectares will likely lead to a weak agricultural output in FY 2018.</p>

<p>As Nepal prepares for an ambitious shift from a unitary to federal system of government, closer attention to sequencing political, financial and administrative decentralization will be key, the report says.</p>

<p>The World Bank has said a large proportion of federal spending is expected to be passed on to the sub-national governments, ultimately increasing public spending starting from FY 2018.</p>

<p>However, the report cautions that unresolved issues surrounding the implementation of the new federal architecture could challenge budget execution, particularly during the upcoming year.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Nepal&rsquo;s new fiscal federalism system suggests a marked asymmetry between stronger decentralization of spending responsibilities and relatively unchanged low decentralization of tax collection powers, notes the report.&nbsp; Similar imbalances hold true between regions across the country.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;The sub-national governments will play an increasingly critical role in Nepal&rsquo;s public expenditures,&rdquo; said Takuya Kamata, the World Bank&rsquo;s country manager for Nepal. &ldquo;A system of fiscal transfers that is designed for transparency and predictability and supported by a small set of simple rules, could go a long way in helping meet the development objectives of federal Nepal,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>&nbsp;The report has made some key observations including many functional assignments are &ldquo;shared&rdquo; among the three levels of government. It also observed that the revenue collection and tax administration remain relatively unchanged and highly centralized, with limited existing tax bases for sub-national governments. The report suggests that the resulting mismatch between revenue collection and service provision could be closed through inter-governmental transfers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report said that although the government revenue collection in FY 2017 reached a new record, the government spending accelerated as well. However, more than 60 percent of the capital budget was spent in the last quarter of the fiscal year while expenditure remained significantly below the planned budget, a perennial problem in Nepal. The era of balanced budgets has ended with the fiscal deficit reaching an estimated 3.3 percent of GDP in FY 2017 and is expected to increase as well.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Additionally, the current account, which turned into a deficit in FY 2017, is also expected to deteriorate further in FY 2018.</p>

<p>The report predicts that import growth should remain strong, while growth of exports and remittances are expected to remain sluggish. Recorded departures of migrant workers have continued to slow, reaching a five-year low in FY 2017. Given the geopolitical tensions between Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Qatar&mdash;a major destination of migrant workers&mdash;departures are not expected to improve significantly.</p>

			'content' => '<p>September 18: The World Bank has warned that the economic growth is likely to be lower than earlier forecast and is expected to average 4.5 percent over the next two fiscal years because of the floods.</p>

<p>In its semi-annual assessment of economic performance, the World Bank reported that economic activity in Nepal, which rebounded strongly in fiscal year 2017, has been impacted once again by severe floods affecting over a third of the country.</p>

<p>Damaging floods in mid-August are likely to affect agriculture, economic activity, and poverty reduction efforts even up to FY 2018.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;Economic growth is expected to be lower than earlier forecast and is expected to average 4.5 percent over the next two fiscal years,&rdquo; says Sudyumna Dahal, World Bank economist and principal author of the latest Nepal Development Update.</p>

<p>According to the report, the floods have affected over 5 percent of the total population, with several districts recording the heaviest rainfall in 60 years. Over 80 percent of land in the southern Tarai, the country&rsquo;s food basket, was affected. Estimates of destroyed crops at 64,000 hectares will likely lead to a weak agricultural output in FY 2018.</p>

<p>As Nepal prepares for an ambitious shift from a unitary to federal system of government, closer attention to sequencing political, financial and administrative decentralization will be key, the report says.</p>

<p>The World Bank has said a large proportion of federal spending is expected to be passed on to the sub-national governments, ultimately increasing public spending starting from FY 2018.</p>

<p>However, the report cautions that unresolved issues surrounding the implementation of the new federal architecture could challenge budget execution, particularly during the upcoming year.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Nepal&rsquo;s new fiscal federalism system suggests a marked asymmetry between stronger decentralization of spending responsibilities and relatively unchanged low decentralization of tax collection powers, notes the report.&nbsp; Similar imbalances hold true between regions across the country.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;The sub-national governments will play an increasingly critical role in Nepal&rsquo;s public expenditures,&rdquo; said Takuya Kamata, the World Bank&rsquo;s country manager for Nepal. &ldquo;A system of fiscal transfers that is designed for transparency and predictability and supported by a small set of simple rules, could go a long way in helping meet the development objectives of federal Nepal,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>&nbsp;The report has made some key observations including many functional assignments are &ldquo;shared&rdquo; among the three levels of government. It also observed that the revenue collection and tax administration remain relatively unchanged and highly centralized, with limited existing tax bases for sub-national governments. The report suggests that the resulting mismatch between revenue collection and service provision could be closed through inter-governmental transfers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report said that although the government revenue collection in FY 2017 reached a new record, the government spending accelerated as well. However, more than 60 percent of the capital budget was spent in the last quarter of the fiscal year while expenditure remained significantly below the planned budget, a perennial problem in Nepal. The era of balanced budgets has ended with the fiscal deficit reaching an estimated 3.3 percent of GDP in FY 2017 and is expected to increase as well.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Additionally, the current account, which turned into a deficit in FY 2017, is also expected to deteriorate further in FY 2018.</p>

<p>The report predicts that import growth should remain strong, while growth of exports and remittances are expected to remain sluggish. Recorded departures of migrant workers have continued to slow, reaching a five-year low in FY 2017. Given the geopolitical tensions between Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Qatar&mdash;a major destination of migrant workers&mdash;departures are not expected to improve significantly.</p>

It was reported that a truck carrying beer from Gorkha Brewery of Nawalparasi to Kathmandu met with an accident in Icchyakamana of Chitwan about a week ago.</p>

<p>After almost ten days of investigation, police solved the mystery behind the accident of the truck with registration number Na 5 Kha 7297 that took place on September 10.</p>

<p>Under the influence of Ujjwal Kandel, 30, of Manahari Rural Municipality in Hetauda, &nbsp;truck driver Santosh Khatri, 28, of Hetauda-11 agreed to fake the accident to get the insurance amount for the beer and the vehicle, investigation showed.</p>

<p>According to Dilip Raj Jha, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) at the District Police Office (DPO), the truck which was loaded with 1,400 cartons of beer from Gorkha Brewery shifted 1,200 cartons in another truck at Geetanagar, Chitwan and the truck with 200 cartons headed for Kathmandu. The truck was made to fall from Narayani river at Jalabire and the nearby police post at Mugling was informed about the accident.</p>

<p>The truck carrying 1,200 cartons of beer went to Hetauda and hid in a house at Manakamana Road. The next day, the conspirators hid 537 cartons of beer in the house of Mani Lama and 426 in Buddha Lama&rsquo;s house. Police seized the beer, whose market price is Rs 3.7 million, from &nbsp;the two houses, said DSP Jha.</p>

			'content' => '<p>September 18: The World Bank has warned that the economic growth is likely to be lower than earlier forecast and is expected to average 4.5 percent over the next two fiscal years because of the floods.</p>

<p>In its semi-annual assessment of economic performance, the World Bank reported that economic activity in Nepal, which rebounded strongly in fiscal year 2017, has been impacted once again by severe floods affecting over a third of the country.</p>

<p>Damaging floods in mid-August are likely to affect agriculture, economic activity, and poverty reduction efforts even up to FY 2018.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;Economic growth is expected to be lower than earlier forecast and is expected to average 4.5 percent over the next two fiscal years,&rdquo; says Sudyumna Dahal, World Bank economist and principal author of the latest Nepal Development Update.</p>

<p>According to the report, the floods have affected over 5 percent of the total population, with several districts recording the heaviest rainfall in 60 years. Over 80 percent of land in the southern Tarai, the country&rsquo;s food basket, was affected. Estimates of destroyed crops at 64,000 hectares will likely lead to a weak agricultural output in FY 2018.</p>

<p>As Nepal prepares for an ambitious shift from a unitary to federal system of government, closer attention to sequencing political, financial and administrative decentralization will be key, the report says.</p>

<p>The World Bank has said a large proportion of federal spending is expected to be passed on to the sub-national governments, ultimately increasing public spending starting from FY 2018.</p>

<p>However, the report cautions that unresolved issues surrounding the implementation of the new federal architecture could challenge budget execution, particularly during the upcoming year.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Nepal&rsquo;s new fiscal federalism system suggests a marked asymmetry between stronger decentralization of spending responsibilities and relatively unchanged low decentralization of tax collection powers, notes the report.&nbsp; Similar imbalances hold true between regions across the country.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;The sub-national governments will play an increasingly critical role in Nepal&rsquo;s public expenditures,&rdquo; said Takuya Kamata, the World Bank&rsquo;s country manager for Nepal. &ldquo;A system of fiscal transfers that is designed for transparency and predictability and supported by a small set of simple rules, could go a long way in helping meet the development objectives of federal Nepal,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>&nbsp;The report has made some key observations including many functional assignments are &ldquo;shared&rdquo; among the three levels of government. It also observed that the revenue collection and tax administration remain relatively unchanged and highly centralized, with limited existing tax bases for sub-national governments. The report suggests that the resulting mismatch between revenue collection and service provision could be closed through inter-governmental transfers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report said that although the government revenue collection in FY 2017 reached a new record, the government spending accelerated as well. However, more than 60 percent of the capital budget was spent in the last quarter of the fiscal year while expenditure remained significantly below the planned budget, a perennial problem in Nepal. The era of balanced budgets has ended with the fiscal deficit reaching an estimated 3.3 percent of GDP in FY 2017 and is expected to increase as well.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Additionally, the current account, which turned into a deficit in FY 2017, is also expected to deteriorate further in FY 2018.</p>

<p>The report predicts that import growth should remain strong, while growth of exports and remittances are expected to remain sluggish. Recorded departures of migrant workers have continued to slow, reaching a five-year low in FY 2017. Given the geopolitical tensions between Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Qatar&mdash;a major destination of migrant workers&mdash;departures are not expected to improve significantly.</p>

It was reported that a truck carrying beer from Gorkha Brewery of Nawalparasi to Kathmandu met with an accident in Icchyakamana of Chitwan about a week ago.</p>

<p>After almost ten days of investigation, police solved the mystery behind the accident of the truck with registration number Na 5 Kha 7297 that took place on September 10.</p>

<p>Under the influence of Ujjwal Kandel, 30, of Manahari Rural Municipality in Hetauda, &nbsp;truck driver Santosh Khatri, 28, of Hetauda-11 agreed to fake the accident to get the insurance amount for the beer and the vehicle, investigation showed.</p>

<p>According to Dilip Raj Jha, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) at the District Police Office (DPO), the truck which was loaded with 1,400 cartons of beer from Gorkha Brewery shifted 1,200 cartons in another truck at Geetanagar, Chitwan and the truck with 200 cartons headed for Kathmandu. The truck was made to fall from Narayani river at Jalabire and the nearby police post at Mugling was informed about the accident.</p>

<p>The truck carrying 1,200 cartons of beer went to Hetauda and hid in a house at Manakamana Road. The next day, the conspirators hid 537 cartons of beer in the house of Mani Lama and 426 in Buddha Lama&rsquo;s house. Police seized the beer, whose market price is Rs 3.7 million, from &nbsp;the two houses, said DSP Jha.</p>

<p>Jha informed that four people involved in the crime and 960 cartons of beer have been sent to DPO, Chitwan for further action.&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>September 18: The World Bank has warned that the economic growth is likely to be lower than earlier forecast and is expected to average 4.5 percent over the next two fiscal years because of the floods.</p>

<p>In its semi-annual assessment of economic performance, the World Bank reported that economic activity in Nepal, which rebounded strongly in fiscal year 2017, has been impacted once again by severe floods affecting over a third of the country.</p>

<p>Damaging floods in mid-August are likely to affect agriculture, economic activity, and poverty reduction efforts even up to FY 2018.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;Economic growth is expected to be lower than earlier forecast and is expected to average 4.5 percent over the next two fiscal years,&rdquo; says Sudyumna Dahal, World Bank economist and principal author of the latest Nepal Development Update.</p>

<p>According to the report, the floods have affected over 5 percent of the total population, with several districts recording the heaviest rainfall in 60 years. Over 80 percent of land in the southern Tarai, the country&rsquo;s food basket, was affected. Estimates of destroyed crops at 64,000 hectares will likely lead to a weak agricultural output in FY 2018.</p>

<p>As Nepal prepares for an ambitious shift from a unitary to federal system of government, closer attention to sequencing political, financial and administrative decentralization will be key, the report says.</p>

<p>The World Bank has said a large proportion of federal spending is expected to be passed on to the sub-national governments, ultimately increasing public spending starting from FY 2018.</p>

<p>However, the report cautions that unresolved issues surrounding the implementation of the new federal architecture could challenge budget execution, particularly during the upcoming year.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Nepal&rsquo;s new fiscal federalism system suggests a marked asymmetry between stronger decentralization of spending responsibilities and relatively unchanged low decentralization of tax collection powers, notes the report.&nbsp; Similar imbalances hold true between regions across the country.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;The sub-national governments will play an increasingly critical role in Nepal&rsquo;s public expenditures,&rdquo; said Takuya Kamata, the World Bank&rsquo;s country manager for Nepal. &ldquo;A system of fiscal transfers that is designed for transparency and predictability and supported by a small set of simple rules, could go a long way in helping meet the development objectives of federal Nepal,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>&nbsp;The report has made some key observations including many functional assignments are &ldquo;shared&rdquo; among the three levels of government. It also observed that the revenue collection and tax administration remain relatively unchanged and highly centralized, with limited existing tax bases for sub-national governments. The report suggests that the resulting mismatch between revenue collection and service provision could be closed through inter-governmental transfers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report said that although the government revenue collection in FY 2017 reached a new record, the government spending accelerated as well. However, more than 60 percent of the capital budget was spent in the last quarter of the fiscal year while expenditure remained significantly below the planned budget, a perennial problem in Nepal. The era of balanced budgets has ended with the fiscal deficit reaching an estimated 3.3 percent of GDP in FY 2017 and is expected to increase as well.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Additionally, the current account, which turned into a deficit in FY 2017, is also expected to deteriorate further in FY 2018.</p>

<p>The report predicts that import growth should remain strong, while growth of exports and remittances are expected to remain sluggish. Recorded departures of migrant workers have continued to slow, reaching a five-year low in FY 2017. Given the geopolitical tensions between Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Qatar&mdash;a major destination of migrant workers&mdash;departures are not expected to improve significantly.</p>
