SpiceJet restarts flights, Air India Express debuts in Nepal, increasing connectivity

SpiceJet resumes operations, and Air India Express launches new services to Nepal, enhancing connectivity. Tribhuvan Airport extends operational hours to support increased flight activities and maintenance.

Two Indian airlines have been allowed to operate regular flights to and from Nepal, according to the Himalayan nation's civil aviation authority.
SpiceJet, which had regular flights to Nepal before the COVID-19 pandemic, and Air India Express, making its debut in the country, have received scheduled approval and slots from Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), according to Hansa Raj Pandey, spokesperson at the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN).
SpiceJet, which mainly flew from Delhi to Kathmandu before its hiatus, will operate daily flights, while Air India Express has received approval for two flights per day.
Currently, Air India and Indigo conduct flights between Nepal and India. With the addition of SpiceJet and Air India Express, there will be four Indian airlines operating regular flights between the two countries.
Meanwhile, maintenance work on the taxiway at TIA, which previously required flight suspensions, continued its service without halting flights starting April 1.
The airport started operating for 18 hours daily, from 6 am to midnight, from Tuesday, according to Pandey.
Since the third week of October, the airport has been operating for 14 hours daily to allow maintenance work.

Strong 7.1 magnitude earthquake jolts Nepal, tremors felt in Bihar

7.1 Magnitude Earthquake Jolts Kathmandu

A devastating 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Dingri County in Tibet, killing at least 90 people. The quake caused widespread destruction, collapsing buildings and shaking neighboring regions, including Nepal and parts of India.

A devastating earthquake in China's remote Tibet region killed at least 95 people and collapsed "many buildings" on Tuesday, state media reported, with tremors also felt in neighbouring Nepal's capital Kathmandu and parts of India.
Videos published by China's state broadcaster CCTV showed houses destroyed with walls torn apart.
Rescue workers waded through rubble strewn across the ruins in the aftermath of the earthquake, footage showed, while some gave locals thick blankets to keep warm in subzero temperatures.
Surveillance images published by CCTV showed people running through a store's aisles as shelves shook violently, sending objects like toys tumbling to the ground.
"A total of 95 people have been confirmed dead and 130 others injured as of 3 pm (0700 GMT)," Xinhua news agency said.
More than a thousand houses have been damaged, Xinhua reported earlier.
The powerful quake struck Tingri county with a magnitude of 6.8 near the border with Nepal at 9:05 am, according to the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC). The US Geological Survey reported the tremor as magnitude 7.1.
Sangji Dangzhi, whose supermarket in Tingri county suffered considerable damage, described the situation as "very serious" with ambulances taking people to hospital throughout the day.
"Here the houses are made from dirt so when the earthquake came... lots of houses collapsed," the 34-year-old, who returned home from Shigatse after the quake struck, told AFP by phone.
&nbsp;
- 'Very strong tremors' -
CCTV reported that Tingri county and its surrounding areas "experienced very strong tremors, and many buildings near the epicentre have collapsed".
In the town of Lhatse, videos geolocated by AFP showed debris scattered in front of streetside eateries.
Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasised "the all-out search and rescue efforts, minimizing casualties to the greatest extent possible, properly resettling affected residents, and ensuring their safety and warmth through the winter", CCTV added.
Xinhua said that "local authorities are reaching out to various townships in the county to assess the impact of the quake".
Temperatures in Tingri are around minus 8 degrees Celsius (17.6 degrees Fahrenheit) and will drop to minus 18 this evening, according to the China Meteorological Administration.
Disaster relief aid, including cotton tents, quilts and items for high-altitude and frigid areas, had been dispatched by central authorities to areas impacted by the quake, Xinhua said.
The high-altitude county in the Tibet region is home to around 62,000 people and situated on the Chinese side of Mount Everest.
Tuesday's quake was the most powerful recorded within a 200-kilometre (124-mile) radius in the last five years, the CENC added.
&nbsp;
- 'Shook quite strongly' -
As well as Kathmandu, areas around Lobuche in Nepal in the high mountains near Everest were also rattled by the tremor and aftershocks.
"It shook quite strongly here, everyone is awake," said government official Jagat Prasad Bhusal in Nepal's Namche region, which lies nearer to Everest.
But no damage or deaths had been reported so far and security forces have been deployed, Nepali home minister spokesman Rishi Ram Tiwari said.
Nepal lies on a major geological faultline where the Indian tectonic plate pushes up into the Eurasian plate, forming the Himalayas, and earthquakes are a regular occurrence.
In 2015, nearly 9,000 people died and more than 22,000 were injured when a 7.8-magnitude quake struck Nepal, destroying more than half a million homes.
Some tremors were felt in Bihar state in India but no injuries were reported.
Three people were killed and dozens injured after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck along the mountainous China-Kyrgyzstan border in January last year.
A quake in December 2023 in northwest China killed 148 people and displaced thousands in Gansu province.
That quake was China's deadliest since 2014, when more than 600 people were killed in southwestern Yunnan province.
In the December 2023 earthquake, subzero temperatures made the aid operation launched in response even more challenging, with survivors huddled around outdoor fires to keep warm.

Nepal's airlines suspend helicopter flights to the Everest region due to local protests over environmental concerns and loss of income from trekkers. The suspension follows growing tensions between local officials, aviation authorities & businesses.

Nepal suspends helicopters in Everest region after protests

Nepal's airlines suspend helicopter flights to the Everest region due to local protests over environmental concerns and loss of income from trekkers. The suspension follows growing tensions between local officials, aviation authorities, and businesses.

Nepal's airlines have halted helicopter flights to the Everest region after locals angry at the environmental impact and loss of income from trekkers threatened landing sites, aviation officials said Monday.
Helicopters are a key means of transport and crucial for emergency rescue in many of Nepal's remote regions, often inaccessible by road.
But they have also been increasingly used to airlift mountaineering teams and tourists over the challenging terrains in the Sagarmatha National Park, home to Mount Everest.
For those who can afford the $1,000 price tag, helicopters reduce the two-week long trek to Everest base camp to just a day -- removing a key source of employment for Nepalis supporting those making the long hike in.
The Airlines Operators Association of Nepal grounded all helicopter flights to the region on Sunday citing security challenges.
It said local youths had erected barriers of flags at landing sites, and threatened action against pilots who land.
"We have suspended all our helicopter flights to the Everest region until the government gives assurance of security for helicopter pilots and a separate spot for emergency landing," Pratap Jung Pandey, first-vice president of the association, told AFP.
The suspension comes after escalating arguments between the aviation authorities, companies and local officials.
Over 50,000 tourists visit the Everest region every year, mostly entering either in a plane or a helicopter.
According to the association, the Everest region sees about 15 helicopter flights per day in the winter, a number that can surge to 60 daily during the peak tourist season.
Sagarmatha National Park in December issued a notice banning commercial sight-seeing helicopter flights from January, sparking a conflict with aviation officials.
"Geologically, this a very sensitive area and the rampant helicopter flights are disturbing the environment," the park's conservation officer Sushma Rana told AFP in December, after the ban was announced.
"The local businesses are also losing out because the trekkers are whisked away by flights."
Local officials said the suspension was announced while negotiations had been ongoing.
"We are going to hold talks to resolve this issue," said Laxman Adhikari, a local ward official.

The flight had 72 passengers and 4 crew members aboard. Buddha Air later confirmed the incident on X, stating, "Flight number 953 from Kathmandu to Bhadrapur, with call sign 9N-AJS, was diverted back to Kathmandu after a technical issue was detected in the right engine. The aircraft safely landed at Tribhuvan International Airport at 11:15 AM."
The airline also assured passengers that its technical team was inspecting the aircraft, and arrangements were being made to send passengers to Bhadrapur on a different flight. Meanwhile, TIA temporarily suspended other operations during the emergency landing of the Buddha Air flight.&nbsp;

With that milestone, he joined an elite list of players to have achieved this feat in the shortest format of the game after Yuvraj Singh and Kieron Pollard.

Nepal's Dipendra Singh Airee etched his name in history books on Saturday as he became just the third player to hit 6 sixes in an over in a T20I, achieving the feat against Qatar in an ACC Premier Cup match.
Thus, Airee joined an elite company of Yuvraj Singh (against Stuart Broad during T20 World Cup 2007) and Kieron Pollard (against Sri Lanka's Akila Dananjaya in 2021) as batters with six maximums in one over.

Interestingly, In the 180-year-old history of international cricket, Dipendra Singh Airee is the only player to hit 6 sixes in 6 consecutive balls twice. He has done it in less than one year.
The 24-year-old Airee remained unbeaten on a 21-ball 64 that included three fours and seven sixes at a monstrous strike rate of 304.76.
Aasif Sheikh made 52 as Nepal posted 210 for seven. They had already beaten Malaysia by five wickets in the opening match on Friday.
In fact, the Nepal man became the fifth batsman to achieve this rare feat in international cricket, with Herschelle Gibbs of South Africa and USA's Jaskaran Malhotra completing it in ODIs earlier.
However, Airee is no stranger to hitting six sixes. During Nepal's Hangzhou Asian Games T20I clash against Mongolia in September last year, he had pummeled six consecutive sixes across two overs.
That match also saw Nepal posting a world-record 314 for three before bowling out the opponent for 41.

Nepal Army to collect 10 tonnes of garbage from Mt. Everest

18 sherpa will help Nepal army to clean the 10 tonnes of garbage and 5 bodies which are lying in Mt Everest.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;Nepal Army on Sunday said that it will collect around 10 tonnes of garbage and five bodies lying at Mt. Everest as it launches Mountain Cleaning Campaign 2024 in the Everest region.
A 12-member team led by Maj. Aditya Karki will embark on the Everest base camp on April 14 to bring the garbage from Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse and Mt. Nuptse, according to a source from the Nepal Army.
The source said an 18-member Sherpa team will assist the army in its cleaning expedition.
The expedition, to be flagged off by Nepal Army chief Gen. Prabhuram Sharma here on April 11, will bring at least 10 tonnes of garbage and five dead bodies of climbers lying unattended in the mountain, Nepal Army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Krishna Prasad Bhandari said.
Biodegradable waste will be brought to Namche Bazaar below the base camp and handed to the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC) for proper treatment.
The non-biodegradable waste and dead bodies will be brought to Kathmandu, the spokesperson said.
The cleaning campaign will control human-made pollution in the Himalayas and address the problems related to climate change, Bhandari said.
The Nepal Army will collaborate with the Ministry of Forest and Environment, the Tourism Department and the Nepal Mountaineers Association for the Everest region's cleaning campaign.
The army has been launching the cleaning campaign in the Everest region since 2019 and this will be the fourth such campaign led by the Nepal Army. PTI SBP PY the Nepal Army.&nbsp;

As many as 110 votes were cast against Prachanda while one lawmaker abstained from voting.

Nepal PM Prachanda wins vote of confidence in Parliament

As many as 110 votes were cast against Prachanda while one lawmaker abstained from voting.

Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal &lsquo;Prachanda&rsquo; on Wednesday secured a vote of confidence in Parliament, as the country struggled to maintain political stability amid the shifting of alliances.
Prachanda, 69, a former guerilla leader belonging to the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) -- the third largest party in the House of Representatives (HoR) --received 157 votes in the 275-member House of Representatives (HoR).
Altogether 268 MPs were present during the voting in the Parliament building at Naya Baneshwor in Kathmandu.
110 votes were cast against him while one lawmaker abstained from voting. Prachanda needed 138 votes to win the trust vote.
&ldquo;The Prime Minister has won the vote of confidence,&rdquo; announced Speaker Dev Raj Ghimire.
The vote comes days after the Maoist leader dumped the Nepali Congress and forged a new alliance with the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist).
This is the third time that Prachanda sought a vote of confidence in the House in less than one-and-a-half-year.
According to constitutional provisions, a prime minister has to take a vote of confidence after an ally withdraws support to the ruling coalition.
Prachanda was required to prove his majority after he lost the support of the previous ally, the Nepali Congress, the largest party in the HoR.
Prachanda's new political alliance is with the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) (CPN-UML) led by former prime minister K P Oli, who was regarded as a top critic of the Maoist leader.
Prachanda became the prime minister for the third term on December 25, 2022.
Last year, Prachanda faced a floor test after the Oli-led CPN-UML withdrew its support to the Prachanda-led government following a rift over backing the main opposition party&rsquo;s candidate for the presidential poll.
In the 2017 election, Prachanda and Oli merged their parties and secured a comfortable majority. Oli became the prime minister, but their partnership ended halfway following differences between them.&nbsp;

In ‘Op Dunki’, Nepal police bust trafficking racket, free 11 Indian hostages

Nepal police busted a human trafficking racket in Kathmandu and freed 11 Indian nationals, mostly students, held hostage for over two weeks.

Eleven Indian nationals, mostly students, held hostage for over two weeks with a promise to facilitate travel to the USA, were rescued as Nepal police busted a human trafficking racket and arrested eight Indian mafia members along with their Nepali accomplice here.
Nepal police named it &lsquo;Operation Dunki&rsquo; as the case turned out to be similar to the situation shown in popular Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan&rsquo;s 2023 movie Dunki. The rescued persons and mafia members came mostly from the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana.
The 11 persons were kept as hostages in a rented house for more than two weeks on the outskirts of Kathmandu, police said on Thursday.
The Kathmandu District Police Range team carried out the operation starting Wednesday night and the raid continued till the wee hours.
Acting on a tip-off, raided a private residence belonging to a Nepali national at Dhobikhola Corridor, Ratopul, and rescued the 11 Indian nationals, who were taken hostage in the pretext of sending them to the USA via Mexico.
The agents, including the Indian mafia members, charged the Indian nationals, mostly students, Rs 4.5 million per person with the false promise of sending to the USA, and an additional USD 3,000 was charged as a visa fee upon their arrival here in Kathmandu, District Police chief Senior Superintendent of Police Bhupendra Bahadur Khatri told a press meet here.
Cases would be booked against each of the accused under sections pertaining to abduction, taking hostage, and human trafficking as per the Nepalese law, he said, adding, that a Nepali accomplice, who helped them in providing logistic services, was also arrested.
The freed Indians are staying at a hotel in Kathmandu as per the arrangements made by Nepal Police and they will be sent back to India coordinating with the Indian Embassy, Foreign Ministry, and other officials concerned, the police chief said.
When the hostages stayed at the rented house for more than two weeks, they were mentally and physically tortured, threatened, and locked in the rooms, he said.
&ldquo;Some of us were told, on a knife-point, to contact our family in India to assure them that we were safe and on the way to USA,&rdquo; one of the rescued persons told PTI.
All the documents, including visa and boarding passes, were forged while the police have recovered the passports of the victims along with fake rubber stamps and other forged documents from the site, Khatri said

Nepal cricket body suspends Sandeep Lamichhane after conviction in rape case

Nepal spinner Sandeep Lamichhane was on Thursday suspended by the country's cricket body after being sentenced to 8 years in prison for raping an 18-year-old woman.

The Kathmandu District Court announced the verdict on Wednesday and Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) issued a statement, responding to the development.

Nepal spinner Sandeep Lamichhane was on Thursday suspended by the country's cricket body after being sentenced to 8 years in prison for raping an 18-year-old woman.
The Kathmandu District Court announced the verdict on Wednesday and Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) issued a statement, responding to the development.
"We inform you that Sandeep Lamichhane has been suspended from any kind of domestic and international cricket activities as he has been convicted and sentenced," the CAN said.
A single-judge bench also imposed a Rs 3,00,000 fine on the 23-year-old, besides ordering him to pay a compensation of Rs 2,00,000 to the victim.
Lamichhane's lawyer Saroj Ghimire was quoted as saying by 'The Kathmandu Post' that the cricketer "will appeal the decision in a higher court." In September last year, an arrest warrant was issued by the Kathmandu police for Lamichhane, leading to his suspension as the Nepal captain by the Cricket Association of Nepal.
Although he was playing in the Caribbean Premier League for Jamaica Tallawahs, the franchise released him with immediate effect, and he returned to Kathmandu, where he was arrested.
However, Lamichhane claimed innocence before his arrest and called the allegations a "conspiracy".
Lamichhane has scalped over 100 wickets in more than 103 white-ball matches for Nepal.
He has also had a brief stint in the Indian Premier League with the Delhi Capitals between 2018-20, bagging 13 wickets in nine fixtures.

Nepal becomes first South Asian country to officially register same-sex marriage

35-year-old transwoman Maya Gurung and 27-year-old gay man Surendra Pandey got their marriage legally registered on November 29.&nbsp;

Five months after the Supreme Court legalised it, Nepal on Wednesday formally registered the first case of same-sex marriage, making it the first South Asian country to do so.
Trans-woman Maya Gurung, 35 and Surendra Pandey, 27, a gay, got legally married and their marriage was registered at Dordi Rural Municipality of Lamjung district in Western Nepal, according to Sanjib Gurung (Pinky), president of Blue Diamond Society, an organization working for the rights and welfare of the sexual minorities in Nepal.
Way back in 2007, Nepal&rsquo;s Supreme Court had allowed same-sex marriage. Even the Constitution of Nepal, adopted in 2015, explicitly states that there can be no discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
On June 27, 2023, the Supreme Court issued an interim order to legalise same-sex marriage in Nepal in a writ petition filed by multiple people, including Gurung. But despite the historic order to temporarily register same-sex marriage, Kathmandu District Court four months ago rejected the move citing a lack of necessary laws.
Surendra Pandey and Maya&rsquo;s marriage application was rejected at that time.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a great pleasure to learn about this, it is a great achievement for us, the third gender community of Nepal,&rdquo; Pinky told PTI. &ldquo;This is the first case not only in Nepal but also in the whole of South Asia, and we welcome the decision.&rdquo; Married in the traditional manner with the approval of their families, Surendra, a resident of Nawalparasi district, and Maya, a resident of Lamjung district, have been living together as husband and wife for the past six years.
&ldquo;There are many third-gender couples living without their identities and rights and this is going to help them a lot,&rdquo; Pinky said, adding that the door has now opened for other people of this community to get their marriage legalised.
&ldquo;Now their marriage has been temporarily registered and after the formulation of necessary laws, it will get permanent recognition automatically.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Nepal bans Chinese-owned social network platform Tiktok

The Nepal government said that there was a spike in hate speech owing to TikTok.&nbsp;

&nbsp;The Nepal government on Monday decided to ban the Chinese-owned social network platform Tiktok, citing its negative effects on social harmony.
According to government spokesperson and Minister for Communication and Information Technology, Rekha Sharma, Monday's Cabinet meeting decided to prohibit TikTok's use.
The decision to ban Tiktok will be implemented through the Ministry of Communication and IT, she said.
The Nepal government decided to ban Tiktok due to its negative effects on social harmony, The Kathmandu Post newspaper reported.
A Cabinet meeting on Thursday made it mandatory for social media sites such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok and YouTube, among others, to open their liaison offices in Nepal.
Although freedom of expression is a basic right, a large section of society has criticised TikTok for encouraging a tendency of hate speech, the government said. In the past four years, 1,647 cases of cybercrime have been reported on the video-sharing app, the report said.
The Cyber Bureau of the Nepal Police, Ministry of Home Affairs, and representatives of TikTok discussed the issue earlier last week. Monday&rsquo;s decision is expected to be enforced following the completion of technical preparations, it said.
Sharma clarified the decision to shut down Tiktok will be implemented promptly by setting a specific deadline.
However, Nepali Congress General Secretary Gagan Thapa expressed reservations about the decision.

&ldquo;The government&rsquo;s decision to ban Tiktok is wrong; the government should regulate the social media site,&rdquo; ruling party leader Thapa said on X.
&ldquo;The government&rsquo;s decision should be rectified as it violates freedom of expression and individual freedom,&rdquo; he pointed out.
The decision comes as another setback for the Chinese networking platform, which has come under scrutiny in various countries, including India, the US, the European Union and the UK, where the governments have banned the application from its network over security concerns.&nbsp;

69 killed in Nepal quake, strong tremors felt in Delhi

The US Geological Survey said the earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 5.6 and occurred at a depth of 11 miles.

A strong earthquake shook northwestern Nepal districts just before midnight Friday, and officials said at least 69 people were dead and dozens more injured as rescuers searched mountain villages.
Officials said early Saturday that the toll was expected to rise, noting that communications were cut off with many places.
The quake, which hit when many people already were asleep in their homes, was felt in India's capital, New Delhi, more than 800 kilometres (500 miles) away.
The US Geological Survey said the earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 5.6 and occurred at a depth of 11 miles. Nepal's National Earthquake Monitoring &amp; Research Center said its epicentre was at Jajarkot, which is about 250 miles northeast of the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu.
The quake killed at least 35 people in Rukum district, where numerous houses collapsed, police official Narvaraj Bhattarai said over the telephone. Thirty injured people already had been brought to the local hospital, Bhattarai said.
In neighbouring Jajarkot district, 34 people were confirmed dead, government administration official Harish Chandra Sharma said.
He said security officials were working with villagers in the darkness to pull the dead and injured from fallen houses. But he added that reaching some spots was difficult because some of the trails were blocked by landslides triggered by the tremor and its aftershocks.
Earthquakes are common in mountainous Nepal. A 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 2015 killed some 9,000 people and damaged about 1 million structures
