Is it really true that after Japan, Nepal has also banned the import of Indian mangoes? Now a big statement from the Central Government has come out on such claims being made in social media and many media reports. The government has clarified that the news of ban of Indian mangoes in Nepal is completely misleading and wrong. The government said that the export of Indian mangoes to Nepal is continuing without any hindrance.

Government issued statement

The Central Government on Wednesday (June 10) rejected some media reports regarding ban on import of mangoes from India in Nepal, calling them ‘factually incorrect and misleading’. The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare said that Nepal’s Plant Quarantine and Pesticide Management Center itself clarified on June 10 that no ban has been imposed on Indian mangoes.

News of ban on import of mango from Nepal declared wrong

The ministry said in a statement, ‘It has been claimed in some media reports that Nepal has banned the import of Indian mangoes, which is completely false and misleading.’ Along with this, the Ministry said, ‘Under the existing rules, import permission continues if the health related conditions of the plants are followed. Import permissions and release orders are being issued subject to compliance with these conditions.

How many tonnes of mangoes were exported from India to Nepal?

According to government data, since January this year, India has exported 149 consignments of 2005 tonnes of mango to Nepal, while in June so far 18 consignments of 266 tonnes of mango have been sent.

Nepal changed some import rules

Nepal has recently changed some of its import rules, under which ‘Hot Water Treatment’ has been made mandatory to determine the safety of fruits and other agricultural products. On this, India said that it is simplifying the export of mangoes under the new standards. However, India has expressed concern to Nepal over the fact that new plant health measures were implemented without any prior consultation. India is raising this issue at the bilateral level under the WTO’s Sanitary and Phytosanitary Standards Agreement and the International Plant Protection Treaty Draft.

The Ministry has advised traders and stakeholders to rely only on official information and not to pay attention to unconfirmed reports regarding any restrictions on mango exports.

There was a huge controversy over Nepal’s Prime Minister Balen Shah’s statement in Parliament regarding land grabbing. Now Nepal’s Foreign Ministry has given clarification on this and made it clear what was the meaning of Nepali PM’s statement.

What did Balen Shah say?

While answering the questions of MPs in Parliament on Sunday (May 31), Prime Minister Balen Shah had said that after becoming the Prime Minister, he came to know that not only India has occupied Nepal’s land, but Nepal has also occupied Indian land at many places. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Lok Bahadur Paudel Chhetri said in a statement that the Prime Minister’s remarks were mainly related to encroachment in the no-man’s-land area on the border and what he described as cross-border occupation.

According to Nepalese media The Kathmandu Post, the Ministry of External Affairs on Sunday (31 May) clarified that what Prime Minister Balendra Shah had said in the Parliament about Nepal occupying Indian land was about the occupation of land across the border and the use of land across the Nepal-India border, rather than any claim to any territory.

What did the ministry say on the statement?

The ministry said, the issue mentioned by the Prime Minister in Parliament is actually related to encroachment and cross-border occupation in Dasgaja area (no-man’s-land). According to the ministry, the Nepal-India border in the riverine areas was decided using the fixed boundary principle, resulting in a situation where citizens of one country farm or live on land falling under the jurisdiction of the other country.

The ministry said that a study by a technical committee has revealed that the land that Nepal is currently using and is in possession of may fall on the Indian side of the border, while the land that India is using and is in possession of may fall on the Nepali side. The statement said, the Prime Minister’s statement in Parliament that at some places Indian land may be on the Nepali side, is related to this technical reality and the issue of cross-border occupation.

Clarification came after criticism

This clarification came after criticism and debate triggered by Shah’s parliamentary comments, which some people considered to be Nepali interference on Indian territory. During the same parliamentary session, Balendra Shah had also said that Nepal and India should talk together on border issues and reiterated that the disputes related to Lipulekh, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani would be resolved through diplomatic talks.

Nepal Airlines is embroiled in controversy for showing wrong map of India. The reason for this is a social media post of the airline, in which while showing the ‘network map’, the entire Jammu and Kashmir was shown as a part of Pakistan. After criticism, the airline apologized for the wrong map of India within 24 hours. He has called it a map mistake or a technical mistake.

How did the controversy start?

The controversy started on Wednesday when a route map was shared by the airline. In this, the Union Territory ‘Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh’ was shown in the territory of Pakistan. This photo immediately started going viral on social media platforms, after which Indian users slammed the airline. Soon, #BoycottNepalAirlines started trending on social media. Along with this, users demanded the Indian Ministry of External Affairs and Civil Aviation Ministry to lodge a diplomatic protest with the Nepal government regarding this.

Khesari also raised questions

Bhojpuri superstar Khesari Lal Yadav also raised questions on this big mistake of the airline. He posted on the social media platform This is not a small thing, it seems to be a deliberate act. Such things are called provocation.

In another post, Khesari wrote, My dear Nepal Airlines, deleting the post and running away will not work. You will have to answer. Apologize or explain your intention as to why you did this? Under what compulsion did such a calm and good neighbor commit such a mistake?

The airline deleted the post

The airline said that an internal investigation into the matter has been ordered.

Nepal Salary News: If you start getting salary twice a month, then many of your problems can be solved. India’s neighboring country Nepal has now made a major change in the way of paying salaries to its employees. Now instead of getting full salary once at the end of the month, government employees will be given half salary every 15 days i.e. twice a month. The government has now decided to implement ‘fortnightly payment system’, changing the system of giving ‘month-end salary’ that has been going on for decades.

This step of Nepal government is being considered as a revolutionary step in the interest of administrative structure and employees. Nepal’s Finance Ministry has said that the main objective of this step is to stabilize the financial condition of government employees and increase the flow of cash in the market. It is often seen that by the last week of the month, the pockets of middle class employees become empty, due to which they have to struggle or take loans for their daily needs. With the new system, money will be available to them every second week.

What benefit will the employees and the government get from this?

Economic experts believe that this decision will not only benefit the employees but also the country’s economy. When money comes into people’s hands every 15 days, there will be continuity of purchasing in the market. This will increase the business of retailers and small traders. Usually, there is crowd in the market at the beginning of the month and silence at the end, but now there will be equal demand in the market throughout the month.

There will be ease in expenses like school, electricity and ration – employees

After this announcement, there is an atmosphere of excitement in the government corridors of Nepal. Employees say that budget management will now become easier. Now they will be able to divide expenses like school fees, electricity bill and ration in a better way. Also, this system is on the lines of developed countries (like America and Australia), which reflects the modern approach to management.

This decision can become an example for other countries also

This experiment of Nepal government can become an example for other countries of South Asia also. If this model is successful, it will not only increase the efficiency of the employees but will also prove to be a milestone in improving the economic health of the country. At present, the government is planning to implement it in a phased manner.

35-year-old Balendra Shah alias Balen, the icon of the Gen-Z movement, created history on Friday (March 27, 2026) by taking oath as the youngest democratically elected Prime Minister of Nepal. Rapper, engineer and then politician Balendra Shah has become a symbol of generational change in Nepal’s politics.

Balen is also the first person from the Madhes region to become the 47th Prime Minister of the country. Balen defeated K.P. in Jhapa-5 constituency of Nepal. Sharma defeated Oli by a huge margin of about 50,000 votes. Oli has been the Prime Minister of the country four times. Balen had won the election for the post of Mayor of Kathmandu in the year 2022 as an independent candidate.

The Oli-led coalition government fell in September last year following nationwide violent protests against the ban on social media and corruption. After this, the youth of Gen-Z considered Balen as a popular candidate to lead the interim government, but Balen refused to lead the interim government at that time and said that he would prefer to lead the government for a full term by contesting the parliamentary elections.

Gen-Z is the generation born between 1997 and 2012. In January, Balen joined the newly formed Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RCP) led by Ravi Lamichhane and was soon declared the party’s prime ministerial candidate. As mayor of Kathmandu, Balen is credited with extensive reforms and beautification of the metropolis. Born in the country’s capital Kathmandu, Balen is the youngest son of Ayurveda doctor Ram Narayan Shah and housewife Dhruvdevi Shah. He was interested in music and poetry since childhood and during his education he turned to rap music.

After completing his civil engineering degree from Kathmandu, Balen pursued a master’s degree in engineering from Visvesvaraya Technological University, Karnataka. Balen married Sabina Kafle in 2018 and the couple has a daughter. Balen has more than 10 lakh ‘subscribers’ on his official YouTube channel.

At present, counting of votes is going on in Nepal for the formation of the new government. In the general elections held here, Balen Shah’s government almost seems to be formed. So far trends have come for 165 seats. Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RSP), the party of Balen Shah, who was the mayor of Kathmandu, is leading. Now on these results, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has congratulated the people and government of Nepal.

PM Modi congratulated Nepal

PM Modi posted on social media and wrote, I heartily congratulate the people and government of Nepal on the successful and peaceful conduct of elections. It is great to see our Nepali brothers and sisters exercising their democratic rights with so much enthusiasm. This historical milestone is a proud moment in Nepal’s democratic journey. As a close friend and neighbour, India stands firm on its promise to work together with the people of Nepal and their new government to scale new heights of shared peace, progress and prosperity.

I extend hearty congratulations to the people and government of Nepal on the successful and peaceful completion of elections. It is a great pleasure to see my Nepali sisters and brothers exercising their democratic rights in such a lively manner.

This historical achievement of Nepal…

What are the election results?

In the recently declared election results, counting is going on for 165 seats. Of these, Balen Shah’s RSP has won 55 seats. His party is leading on 66 seats. This party was formed four years ago by a journalist Rabi Lamichhane. Former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli is trailing Balen Shah by 43 thousand votes in Jhapa seat. Oli had won the elections from Jhapa-5 seat in 2017 and 2022.

Under which system are elections held in Nepal?

The electoral system in Nepal is mixed. Here members of Parliament are elected in two ways. Of these, one wins by direct election and the other by total votes received by the party. At present Nepal has completed the election process on the basis of party vote percentage. 110 seats in Nepal will be distributed on the basis of vote percentage received by the parties. Here the public does not vote for any candidate but directly for the party. Any party is given seats in the Parliament according to its vote percentage.

Balen Shah’s party has so far received 54.8 percent votes. Elections were held on 5 March. A total of 58% people have voted here. Counting of votes is expected to last for 3 to 4 days. The Election Commission has planned to complete voting by March 9.

Who is Balen Shah?

Balen Shah has been the former mayor of Kathmandu. He was born on 27 April 1990 in Kathmandu. He has studied from VNIT Nagpur. He became the first independent mayor of Kathmandu in the year 2022. He is a professional hip-hop and rap music artist. During this period he has won many battles. He is quite famous among the youth of Nepal. He has raised social and political issues in rap.

According to initial trends, Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is leading on 23 seats in Nepal, while Nepali Congress and CPN-UML are leading on three seats each. The counting of votes started late on Thursday night. It is expected that the counting of votes will be completed by tonight.

After the Gen-Z movement in Nepal, eastern Nepal became the center of conflicts. Slogans of ‘No Limbuvan, no entry’ kept echoing from Panchthar to Jhapa. These days there is an election atmosphere, but the issue of identity is silent. As the political consciousness generated by the movement is getting lost in the crowd of party changes, the issue of identity is also being marginalized. This is the same geographical area where a campaign to boycott those supporting the name ‘Koshi’ was once launched. After the mass movement, Panchthar became the center of the Limbuwan movement.

The then Federal State Council held its first national conference and resolved to establish the State of Limbuwan in 9 districts located east of Arun at the Sumhatlung Temple in Phidim-4. After this, many movements took place in the East. Along with the Federal Limbuwan State Council, several parties and pressure groups including the Federal Democratic National Forum, Limbuwan Revolution and Janmukti remained active in the movement for almost two decades. In this same movement, two people named Prince Mangatok of Jhapa and Manil Tamang have already lost their lives before 2079 BS.

After the naming of ‘Koshi Pradesh’, on Chaitra 5, 2077 BS, a group in support of the recognition was protesting in front of the Chief Minister’s Office in Biratnagar. The police lathicharged the protesters. Padam Bahadur Limbu (Lajehang), 42, central co-commander of the Limbuwan volunteers, was seriously injured. Five days later, he died during treatment at BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan.

Limbu was declared a martyr in the cabinet meeting on 24th of Chaitra month. It was decided to give compensation to the family. But on the main issue the government backed down and said it would cooperate in taking the ‘naming movement’ forward through talks with the provinces. This process of retreat continues till today.

Did not commit to Limbuwan
In the Constituent Assembly elections of 2064 and 2070, ‘No Limbuwan, No Entry’ campaigns were conducted in Panchthar against parties and candidates who had not committed to Limbuwan. In the 2074 Constituent Assembly elections, the issue also gained support in the parliamentary politics of the province, with the federal Limbuwan State Council led by Kumar Lingden of former Province 1 winning a seat in the Kosi Provincial Assembly through proportional representation. However, in the elections of 2079, the representation of pro-identity parties became zero. Despite street protests on 17 Phalgun the same year, the provincial assembly adopted the name ‘Koshi’.

Researcher Dilvikram Angdembe says that the parties which earlier dominated the Parliament and the government used the identity issue only as a stepping stone to gain power and the advocates of identity did not get access to it, which is why this identity issue could not be awakened.

Even after the former Province 1 was renamed Kosi, the movement for nomination continued in a phased manner. In this sequence, pro-identity forces united in the ongoing ‘Remove Cable Car’ campaign in Pathibhara. But even before these two issues were resolved, the leaders and activists supporting the identity themselves admit that the ‘Jan-Ji’ movement of 23 and 24 Bhadra took the country to a new level. There are very few candidates supporting the issue of identity in the House of Representatives elections to be held on Falgun 21. Most of the parties participating in the 2017 provincial assembly elections and the 2016 Constituent Assembly elections gave priority to the issue of identity.

Planning to raise the voice of your identity
In 2017, only the then CPN-Maoist Centre, Federal Limbuwan Forum and Janata Samajwadi Party had raised the issue, while UML and Congress were adopting a centrist stance. But this time, only three candidates, namely Federal Limbuwan Forum, JSP and National Progressive Alliance, contesting the elections have given priority to the issue of identity.

Sanjuhang Palungwa, the founding chairman of the Federal Limbuwan State Council, is the National Progressive Alliance’s proportional candidate in this election. His name was at the first place in the list presented by the party and now he is planning to raise the voice of his identity raised on the streets in the Assembly. In the past, they had focused on demanding the renaming of the former Province 1, including nine districts located east of Arun, to Limbuwan State.

He said, ‘In this election, they are seeking votes by moving away from the name controversy and saying that the influence of western culture should be stopped and multiple identities should be established. Identity cannot be established only through street conflicts. I will get this debated in the House with your votes. Now the challenge is not only to change the name of Limbuwan, but also to protect the original culture and civilization of Nepal.

For the original civilization, it is necessary to preserve the ancient Hindu culture, Buddhism and Kirat civilization here. The issue of identity has not been included not only in the candidates but also in the party manifestos.

The issue of identity was not raised even in the manifestos
Election analyst Balkrishna Mabohang believes that constitutionally this issue was marginalized. The issue of identity cannot be raised even in manifestos. He said, ‘The public opinion of the party raising the issue of identity is not visible in the areas where the issue of identity is raised. The main rivals are, therefore, it is doubtful that this issue will find a place in the constitutional discussion.

He said, ‘The silence of various parties on the issue of identity is surprising. The parties presenting impractical and baseless schemes in the name of development are standing silent on the issue which the public is demanding. Not only the party, but even the leaders and workers supporting the identity issue are gradually abandoning the issue. Most of the leaders and workers holding district, provincial and central level responsibilities in the Federal Limbuwan State Council and Democratic National Forum are joining old parties like Congress and UML, while some have taken refuge in new parties like Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sansthan, Ujjain Nepal and Shram Sanskriti.
