Though its too tumultous a time due to the political turmoil in our country, to divert our thoughts to changing this and that, I would like to sneak my idea of changing the capital city of Nepal. Kathmandu is definitely a fertile and wide enough valley to accomodate bulk of the population, government buildings and foreign diplomatic missions. But the problem is that Kathmandu is a highly unplanned city and is perched among the rugged hills, which makes transportation a nuisance. Also, there is an immense influx of people inside the capital, which deteriorates the condition further. So, do you have any ideas where to relocate our capital in a strategic place so that the above mentioned problems are overcome? We need to build a planned new capital like Islamabad in Pakistan and Abuja in Nigeria and so on. I think some place in Terai would be ideal for the capital because of the plain topography and ease of transportation. What specific place do you suggest for making Nepali capital and why?
