It is very sad to hear such story in newspaper that Pyara Jung thapa, chief of army, with mere 20 -30 thousand per month salary can enjoy doing such extravagant expensed in his daughter's wedding. What will foreigners say about it? will they think twice given the status of being one of the poorest countries of the world. 40,000 people are his guest to serve, and 4 hunderd Jantis from India, bridegroom's side are being served in Five star hotel which is cost at 250 t0 500 dollar per suite. Many vips are accompanying the bridegroom's janti. Forget the cost of air transportation cost (jet airways), and breakfast, lunch, etc. 2000 army jawans were being deployed to furnish the bride's house. It is estimated that 8 to 13 crore are being spent on this wedding, far more than that of King birendra's and Gyanendra's. who's money is that anyway? state's money, poor people's money. you can easily imagine the extent of corruption being done in army side. Because the state cant inquire about the army on the corruption charges, such tendency of expenses in marriage is going on by the government bureaucrats. It is really shame that where many poor people of this country r unable to feed the children simple bread and butter , dal and bhat, the army head is doing futile expense for the sake of showness and swaggering. Instead these money should be spend on development and poor people.
