Sundarighat locals enforce Lalitpur banda

Locals of Sundarighat have enforced a Lalitpur banda protesting the government bid to relocate the squatters evicted from their temporary settlement on the bank of the Bagmati River in Thapathali, on Friday.

Transportation in the area, specially along the Ring Road section of the Lalitpur has come to a grinding halt due to the banda. Marketplaces and academic institutions have also remained closed due to the banda in Lalitpur.

Now Nepalis need Chinese visa to visit Mansarovar

Are you planning to visit Kailash Mansarovar? If yes, do not forget to carry your passport with Chinese visa. 

Chinese security personnel deployed along the Nepal-Tibet border have been preventing Nepali pilgrims from entering the Kailash Mansarovar region if they are found traveling without Chinese visa. 

Until last year, the pass issued by the local administration of Tibet would suffice for Nepali pilgrims to visit Kailash mansarovar. But since May 2, the Chinese security personnel have been sending back Nepali pilgrims traveling without Chinese visa. 

Hari Neupane, a resident of Butwal, was unaware of the new provision until he reached Hilsa of Humla. When he was asked to produce Chinese visa, Neupane had no choice but to return back. "I wasted money for reaching Hilsa," said Neupane. 

According to Norbu Lama, a local resident of Humla, the Chinese security personnel started seeking visa from Nepali pilgrims after Rimpochhe Chang Thang delivered a speech in Yalwang monastery in Muchu VDC of Humla district.
