While distributing Melamchi's drinking water in Kathmandu through the old pipe, water has started flowing in places. Pedestrians and vehicular traffic are becoming uncomfortable when the road is muddy. There is also a risk of vehicular accidents at night when the road is damaged and there are potholes in places.
As drinking water is being wasted on the road, the consumers are not getting enough water. Therefore, it is necessary for the concerned body to repair the pipe as soon as possible.

Nepal proposed to proceed with the BRI agreement only with grants, but since China was not ready, as reported in the news, the agreement was made keeping both grant or loan options open in the bilateral agreement. After the ruling partner Nepali Congress took a stand that Nepal should not take a loan except for the grant, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli went on a visit to China with a jumbo team, promising not to take loans and invest.
However, Prime Minister Oli weakened the position of the representatives of Nepal and China at the last stage of the discussion, and after signing both the options, the question has arisen whether the construction of the BRI project will start with a grant or a loan. According to public data, Nepal's Thaplo debt has reached 25 trillion 18 billion 50 million. A Nepalese person has more than 83,000 debts.
Moreover, if the BRI project is added to the loan instead of the grant, there is no time to turn the country upside down financially. What will be the situation in Nepal in the future if this is the case with the leadership of hoarding public property, protecting the corrupt by the top leaders and leadership, giving tax exemptions to wealthy businessmen, and trying to get more than 22 billion electricity light fee discount for industrialists?
