Some Things Break, Some Things Mended!

Good Morning, Nepal!

1. Nepali Football Suspended During the World Cup
While the world enjoys the excitement of the World Cup, FIFA has suspended ANFA, declaring Nepal a "football-free" international zone. By citing "third-party interference" as the reason for shutting the doors, FIFA has essentially given our players the special privilege of playing football only in their own backyards. The news of stopped grants and the inability to play international matches has earned the ANFA leadership a gold medal for incompetence. Hopefully, this suspension will serve as a wake-up call to light a lamp in the "dark tunnel" of Nepali football so that we can one day return to the global stage.

2. 18 Consultancy Operators Arrested
Police have played host to 18 operators who were "gambling" with students' futures by running educational consultancies without registration. Following a letter from the Ministry of Education, the Kathmandu Valley Crime Investigation Office executed this crackdown. Those arrested include 16 from Kathmandu and 2 each from Lalitpur and Bhaktapur, serving as a mere sample of the widespread irregularities in the educational sector. We can hope that this legal crackdown will, to some extent, warn those who sell false dreams to students.

3. The Life of Sukumbasi in Holding Centers
Displaced from riverbanks and living in Kirtipur’s Radhaswami Holding Center for two months, the landless, Sukumbasi, and unmanaged settlers have demanded "resettlement" rather than just temporary housing. The state's neglect in providing food and proper shelter while keeping them in limbo highlights the true face of our democracy. The anxiety they face due to the lack of children’s education and daily sustenance is truly heartbreaking. Hopefully, they will be given a genuine, permanent solution soon, rather than just being left until the next election cycle.

4. APF’s Special Preparation for Monsoon
With the onset of the monsoon, the Armed Police Force (APF) has declared that it has kept over 21,000 personnel on "alert" to welcome and face natural disasters. According to the National Action Plan 2083, the news that they are prepared with rescue materials and equipment has dampened some of the monsoon-related fears. It is like the saying: it is always better to stay healthy than to look for medicine after getting sick. Regardless of how terrible natural disasters may be, we remain optimistic that preparation can save lives.

5. Swarnim Wagle’s Dominance in RSP
In the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) convention, Swarnim Wagle secured the first position with 2656 votes for the central committee, followed by Sobita Gautam in second place with 2594 votes. This internal democracy of the RSP has forced older parties to think, "Should we be doing this too?". The competition seen within the party will surely produce skilled leadership in the future. Hopefully, the results of these votes will truly infuse "new" energy into the country's politics.

6. Players Offer "Sarcastic Thanks" to ANFA Leadership
Following the FIFA suspension, footballers staged a protest at the ANFA headquarters in Satdobato, sarcastically thanking the leadership for successfully getting them suspended. Calling the act of getting the country's highest football body suspended an "unprecedented success" of the leadership, their sarcasm was quite biting. This dissatisfaction from the players has exposed the people living inside ANFA's glass house. Let us hope this voice of the players breaks the chair-hunger of ANFA and opens the door to new, clean leadership.

7. 76% Voter Turnout in RSP Convention
In the first convention of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), 2,959 out of 3,849 total voters participated, resulting in a 76.80% turnout. The enthusiasm shown by the RSP in its convention has created a new wave in Nepali politics. Whether such a high turnout will lead the RSP toward a positive future remains a subject of great interest. Regardless, active participation is the most beautiful aspect of democracy, and it is bound to yield positive results.

8. Ward Chair and Member Arrested for Fake Citizenship Recommendation
In Rangeli, Morang, a ward chairman and a member have been "recommended" directly into police custody for recommending Nepali citizenship based on false details. This "work" by representatives who play with state documents shows how lightly sensitive issues like citizenship are taken. This serves as a significant lesson for those who forget their official responsibilities to engage in such acts. Hopefully, no citizen will receive citizenship on false grounds in the future, and the administration will become stricter.

9. The Long Wait for the Civil Service Act
Although the government made loud promises to issue the Federal Civil Service Act within Asar, the current process makes it look nearly impossible. Caught in the conflict between an ordinance and a bill, it is anyone's guess when this act will actually arrive. Even though it was included in the 100-point reform agenda, will the bureaucratic delays result in another case of "much ado about nothing"?. Hopefully, the government will find a way to bring this act to light and lay the foundation for administrative reform.
