आज संयुक्त चालक मञ्चका प्रतिनिधिहरूसँग टाइगर हिल परिसरको भ्रमण गरी चालक दाजुभाइहरूले दैनिक रूपमा भोग्दै आएका विभिन्न समस्याबारे प्रत्यक्ष जानकारी लिने अवसर प्राप्त भयो।
भ्रमणका क्रममा टोकन व्यवस्थापन, पार्किङको अभाव, शौचालयको अवस्था तथा अन्य आवश्यक पूर्वाधार सम्बन्धी समस्याहरूको अवलोकन गरियो। पर्यटन क्षेत्रसँग प्रत्यक्ष रूपमा जोडिएका चालक दाजुभाइहरूको सुविधा र सम्मान सुनिश्चित गर्नु अत्यन्त आवश्यक रहेको महसुस गरें।
उहाँहरूका जायज माग तथा समस्याहरूलाई सम्बन्धित विभागसमक्ष उठाई आवश्यक समाधानका लागि पहल गर्ने प्रतिबद्धता व्यक्त गर्दछु।
जनताको समस्या बुझ्दै, समाधानतर्फ निरन्तर प्रयासरत रहनेछु।

LIVE ACCIDENT IN Rangbul fatak

22/05/2026

साधारण विद्यालयका विद्यार्थीबाट सुरु भएको यात्रा, आज करोडौं मानिसको प्रेरणाको स्रोत बनेको छ।
पुराना स्कूल आईडी कार्डमा देखिएका Rishi Kapoor र Amitabh Bachchan ले आफ्नो मेहनत, संघर्ष, अनुशासन र आत्मविश्वासको बलमा भारतीय चलचित्र जगतमा अमिट इतिहास रचे।

उहाँहरूको जीवनले आजको पुस्तालाई एउटा महत्वपूर्ण सन्देश दिन्छ —
“सपना देख्नु ठूलो कुरा होइन, त्यो सपना पूरा गर्न निरन्तर मेहनत गर्ने साहस हुनु सबैभन्दा ठूलो कुरा हो।”
आज मोबाइल र सामाजिक सञ्जालको दुनियाँमा अल्झिरहेको युवापुस्ताले समयको सही सदुपयोग गर्दै शिक्षा, संस्कार र लक्ष्यप्रति समर्पित हुन सके भविष्य अवश्य उज्यालो बन्न सक्छ।

सफलता एकैदिनमा प्राप्त हुँदैन, तर धैर्यता, संघर्ष र सकारात्मक सोचले असम्भवलाई पनि सम्भव बनाउन सक्छ भन्ने ज्वलन्त उदाहरण हुन् यी दुई महान् व्यक्तित्व।

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Date: 5 August 2025
Racism Hurts Us All — Gorkhas Are Not Foreigners
When someone turns to you and says Bengali people are from Bangladesh, it hurts. It becomes a serious issue — it takes political shape, and rightly so. Then why is it that when the same thing is said to us — that we are from Nepal — nobody sees the pain we feel?
Let me say this clearly: it hurts us just the same.
We are Indian citizens. Gorkhas have lived here for generations. We have served this country with pride — in the military, in public service, in every walk of life. Yet we are constantly made to feel like outsiders in our own land.
The Bengal Assembly must treat this as seriously as any other form of racism. It is time for the government to table a strong, clear Bill against racial discrimination and hate speech — one that protects all communities who are being humiliated daily for their appearance, their mother tongue, or their ethnic background.
This is not about politics. This is about basic human dignity. We too deserve to feel safe and respected in our home state.
I ask our MLAs, especially those from the hills and Terai, to take the lead and place this proposal in the Assembly. If we don’t act now, we continue to allow racism to grow unchecked in our schools, our streets, and our public discourse.
We all belong here. Let the law say so too.
Ajoy Edwards
President, Indian Gorkha Janshakti Front
