Civil society condemns unrelenting banda
NEPALGUNJ, May 20: The social campaigners, rights workers and civil society leaders have taken strong exception to the indefinite banda or shutdown enforced by different ethnic organizations and political parties, resulting in disruption of daily life and services. Speaking in an interaction on role of citizens in the present context organized by the local peace committee, the Informal Sector Services Centre (INSEC) and HimRights here on Saturday, they criticized this mode of protest and said that organizing banda and general strikes thereby, effectively disrupting public life, was an undemocratic and irresponsible action. They said that although it was right for the people to call for their rights, it was not a democratic practice to infringe on the rights of others.

Revenue collection picks up but still short of target
KATHMANDU, May 17: The government has mobilized Rs 190.08 billion in revenue over the first ten months of 2011/12, posting a growth of 19.6 percent over revenue mobilized in the same period last year. As the revenue growth targeted for the fiscal year is 20 percent, the collection is short of the target. “But we are optimistic about attaining the annual target, which is about Rs 242 billion, as the rate of collections that had slid through mid-January till mid-March has gone up yet again,” said Finance Secretary Krishna Hari Baskota.
