भारतीय सुरक्षाकर्मीद्वारा नेपालीको हत्या/ज्यादती भो: गृह

काठमाडौ, जेष्ठ १३ - गृह मन्त्रालयले भारतीय सीमा सुरक्षा बलको ज्यादतीपूर्ण व्यवहारप्रति गम्भीर ध्यानाकर्षण भएको जनाएको छ । भारतीय सुरक्षा बलका अधिकृतहरूले एक टिन खानेतेल नेपालतर्फ ल्याएको विषयमा विवाद गर्दै नेपाली भूमिमा प्रवेश गरी गोली प्रहार गरेको घटनाका विषयमा मन्त्रालयले त्यस्तो ध्यानाकर्षण गराएको हो । घटनामा ५५ वषर्ीय वासुदेव साहको मृत्यु भएको थियो ।
मन्त्रालयद्वारा जारी विज्ञप्तिअनुसार नेपाली भूमिमा भारतीय प्रहरीले गोली प्रहार गरेलगत्तै प्रतिकारस्वरूप नेपाल प्रहरीले पनि दुुई राउन्ड हवाई फायर गरेपछि भारतीय प्रहरी चढेर आएको मोटरसाइकल छाडेर फरार भएका थिए । प्रहरीले घटनास्थलबाट भारतीय प्रहरीले भाग्ने क्रममा छाडेका बीआर३८बी००३६ नम्बरको मोटरसाइकल, ९ एमएम पेस्तोलको खोका र कर्ड बरामद गरेको छ । दुवै पक्षबीच गोली हानाहान भएपछि उत्पन्न भएको विवाद साम्य पार्न प्रहरी निरीक्षकस्तरमा अधिकृतहरूले वार्ता गरेका थिए ।
मन्त्रालयले गोली हान्ने दोषीलाई कडा कारबाही गर्न र मृतकका परिवारलाई राहत व्यवस्था गर्न मंगलबार परराष्ट्र मन्त्रालयमा पत्राचार गर्ने निर्णयसमेत गरेको जनाएको छ । 'मोरङको अमाहिवरियाती क्षेत्रमा नेपाल-भारत सीमाबाट दैनिक उपभोग्य सामान ओसारपसार गर्ने विषयलाई लिएर नेपाल र भारतका सुरक्षाकर्मीबीच विवाद भएको हो,' मन्त्रालयको विज्ञप्तिमा भनिएको छ, 'सोही दिन बेलुका साढे ८ बजे नेपालस्थित अमाहिवरियाती प्रहरी चौकीमा कार्यरत प्रहरी हवल्दारसहित दुईजना गस्तीमा निस्किएको अवस्थामा भारतीय सीमा सुरक्षा बलका इन्स्पेक्टर हितैन्द्र सिंहसहित दुई जवान सादा पोसाकमा आएका थिए ।'
विज्ञप्तिअनुसार उनीहरू सीमाभन्दा करिब दुई सय मिटर नेपालतर्फ प्रवेश गरी इन्स्पेक्टर सिंहले आफ्नो साथमा ल्याएको पेस्तोलबाट फायर गर्दा साहलाई दायाँ छातीमुनि गोली लागेको थियो । उनको उपचारका क्रममा कोसी अञ्चल अस्पतालमा निधन भएको थियो

जाजरकोटमा कांग्रेस विभाजित

जाजरकोट, , जेष्ठ ११ - लामो समयदेखिको आन्तरिक बिबादपछि  नेपाली कांग्रेस जाजरकोट दुई चिरामा बिभाजन भएको छ ।   एकिकरण भएको ४ बर्ष बितिसक्दा पनि बिबाद सुल्झन नसक्दा काग्रेस संथापपन र प्रजातन्त्रिक काग्रेस  पुनः दुई खेमामा बिभाजित भएको हो ।
प्रक्रियागत रुप्ामा बिभाजित काग्रेस एक भए पनि भावनात्मक रुपमा एकता हुन नसक्दा आन्तरिक बिबादले चरम रुप लिएको थियो । एकीकरणको बेला भएको सहमति कार्यान्वयन नगरेको भन्दै संस्थापन पक्षका सभापति झलक नाथ वाग्लेले मंगलबार पत्रकार सम्मेलन मार्फत पार्टी औपचारिक रुपमा दुई भागमा बिभाजित भएको घोषण गरे ।
संस्थापन पक्षका कार्यकर्तालाइ क्रियाशिल सदस्यता नदिएको नबिकरण नगराएको हुदा कार्यकर्ताको भावना अनुसार नै आफुले यस्तो कदम चालेको वाग्लेले बताए ।    
पार्टी एकीकरण पछि शेरबहादुर देउवा पक्षका यज्ञबहादुर खत्रीलाई जाजरकोटको सभापति बनाईएको थियो । सभापति खत्रीले क्रियाशिल सदस्यता फारम अहिलेसम्म  नभराएको पार्टीका कार्यकर्तालाइ पक्षपात गरेको सहमति बिपरितका क्रियाकलाप गर्दै गएको संस्थापन पक्षका सभापति वाग्लेको भनाइ छ । पार्टीको आन्तरिक बिबादका कारण सयौं कार्यकर्ताहरु क्रियाशिल सदस्यता पाउनबाट बन्चित  भएको नेबिसंघ अध्यक्ष महेन्द्र शाहले बताए । तमाम कार्यकर्ताको भविष्य माथि खेलवाड गरिएको उनको भनाई छ ।
तर बर्तमान सभापति खत्री भने संस्थापन पक्षका कार्याकर्ताले पार्टी अनुशासन बिपरितका कार्य गरेकोे आरोप लगाउदै आएका छन । केन्द्रको मिलेमतोमा आफूलाई थाहै नदिई गलत प्रत्रियाबाट सदस्यता वितरण गरिएका कारण क्रियाशिल सदस्यताको विवाद सृजना भएको बताउछन् । उनी यसरी गलत प्रक्रियाबाट वितरण गरिएका सदस्यता केन्द्रमा नपठाउने बताउछन् । तर संस्थापन पक्षका कार्यकर्ताहरुले भने पार्टी सभातिले क्रियाशिल सदस्यता उपलब्ध नगराएको बताएका छन ।  ।
जिल्लामा दुइ पक्षबीच बिबाद चर्किएर पार्टी दुइ खेमामा बिभाजित भएपछि बिबाद सुल्झाउन मंगलबार नै केन्दि्रय सदस्य बलबहादुर के.सी जाजरकोट आइपुगेका छन । उनले २ दिनसम्म जिल्लामा बसेर बिबाद मिलाउने कुरामा कार्यकर्ता आशाबादी  छन ।
   दुई पक्षका जिल्ला स्तरका नेताहरुको विवाद चुलिदै जाादा उनीहरुको बोलचाल समेत बन्द भएको थियो । ती नेताहरुको भेटघाट हुन वित्तिकै दिनहू जस्तो भनाभन हुने गरेको छ ।
जिल्लामा यस अघि पनि   विवाद मिलाउन  केन्द्रबाट आएका भक्तबहादुर बलायर र विजुल विश्वकर्माको रहोवरमा कार्यवाहक सभापतिको रुपमा संस्थापन पक्षका दिपकजगं शाहलाई जिम्मा दिने र बाकी रहेका विवाद मिलाउन सभापति खत्रि, निवर्तमान सभापति वाग्ले, पूर्व्ा सभापति सनत कार्की र कावा सभापति शाहलाई अधिकार प्रत्यायोजन गरिएको थियो ।
तर पनि विवाद मिल्न नसकेपछि कार्यवाहक सभापति सुशील कोइराला र सहमहामन्त्री एवम् प्रवक्ता अर्जुननरसिहं केसी जाजरकोट आएर बिबाद मिलाएर  सवै क्रियाशिल सदस्यता पठाउन र एकजुट भएर लाग्न निर्देशन दिएका थिए ।
पार्टीको आन्तरिक बिबाद मिलाउने बारम्बारको प्रयास असफल भएपछि मंगलबार आधिकारीक रुपमा पार्टी २ भएको घोषण गरिएको छ ।

Hubble catches planet being devoured by its star

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The Hubble space telescope has discovered a planet in our galaxy in the process of being devoured by the star that it orbits, according to a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The doomed planet, dubbed WASP-12b, has the highest known surface temperature of any planet in the Milky Way -- around 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,800 degrees Fahrenheit).
But it could be enveloped by its own parent star over the next ten million years, the paper's authors have concluded.
Using a new instrument called the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph that was installed on Hubble in 2009, the researchers observed how the planet was whipped into an elongated shape by gravitational forces.
"We see a huge cloud of material around the planet, which is escaping and will be captured by the star. We have identified chemical elements never before seen on planets outside our own solar system," team leader Carole Haswell of The Open University in Great Britain said.
Discovered in 2008, WASP-12b is located about 600 light-years from Earth in the Auriga Constellation and is more than 300 times the size of Earth.
It also has a mass 40-percent greater than that of Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system.
It is so close to its parent star that it orbits it in little more than 24 hours.
Astronomers already knew that stars will swallow a planet that comes too close to it, but this is the first time that the phenomenon has been observed so clearly.
The paper, which was published in the May 10 edition of The Astrophysical Journal Letters, confirms a theoretical paper published in the journal Nature last Friday by Shu-lin Li, an astronomer at Peking University in Beijing.
Shu-lin had predicted that the planet's surface would be distorted by the star's gravitational pull, and that gravitational tidal forces would make the interior so hot that it would greatly expand its outer atmosphere.

How To Punish Leadership Negligence

In any sensible system of institutional governance, negligence would be sanctioned. So why is it that leaders of major corporations often seem to escape punishment for negligent conduct? Why is it that Tony Hayward, the head of BP, can publicly admit that it was "probably true" that the company should have done more to prepare for deep-water drilling emergencies and still keep his job? This is a company that as recently as March 2010 defined itself as the leading deep-water drilling company. It's also a company that has demonstrated a pattern of questionable conduct related to safety as exemplified by the 2005 Texas City refinery explosion and the criticism leveled by the Baker Report as well as the lack of care that contributed to the 2006 Prudhoe Bay pipeline leak. Why are heads not rolling up and down the leadership chain at the company?
So long as we fail to hold business leaders to an appropriate standard of care, we can expect these sorts of disasters to continue. The heads of corporations are seldom held personally accountable for the negligent acts of their organizations. BP and its contractors have caused, at the very least, hundreds of millions of dollars to damage to the Gulf of Mexico. Deep-water drilling is a core competence. The CEO admits the company should have done more, which is tantamount to an admission of negligence. But the very worst that can happen to Hayward is that he will lose his job ... along with an attractive financial package to ease the pain. And he may even get to keep his job!
How could we hold corporate leaders responsible for negligence? We would start by defining a standard of care. Negligence is "conduct that is culpable because it falls short of what a reasonable person would do to protect (others) from foreseeable risks of harm." That's a straightforward standard. If you fail to do what a "reasonable person" would do and someone gets injured, you are subject to being sued and having to pay a penalty. For corporate leaders, this would mean establishing a "reasonable leader" standard. Given that BP was specializing in deep-water drilling, and given prior experience of devastating underwater oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere, it was reasonably foreseeable that these sorts of problems could occur and the company's leaders did not do what a "reasonable person" would have done to prevent these problems.
Having established a standard of care, we then need two additional elements: penalties and a fair way to judge conduct. The former could be addressed by writing specific provisions concerning negligence into executive compensation contracts. "If you are judged to have been negligent as a leader, you will forgo some or all of your severance payments." The best predictor of what people do is what they are incentivized to do. If there aren't penalties for leadership negligence, we are encouraging leadership negligence.
Finally, we would need a fair way to judge negligence. This couldn't be credibly done by Boards of Directors or other interested parties. One answer would be to create a special panel to render judgments, consisting perhaps of highly respected retired executives.
Would this be easy to implement? Of course not. It would require a great deal of thought and careful design. But if we fail to fundamentally transform the incentives companies offer their executives, we should expect more of the same.

Apa Sherpa' climbs Everest a record 20th time

KATHMANDU: A Nepalese Sherpa climbed Mount Everest for the 20th time early Saturday, beating his own world record, an official said.

Apa Sherpa, 50, reached the summit of world's highest peak on Saturday morning, a spokesman for the tourism ministry said.

"He reached the top of Everest this morning. He is in sound health and is now heading back to base camp after spending around half an hour on the summit," Laxman Bhattarai told foreign news agency.

Sherpa, who first scaled Everest in 1990 and has been dubbed the "super Sherpa" for the apparent ease with which he climbs the mountain, dedicated his latest expedition to the impact of climate change on the Himalayas.

"I am thankful to have been able to climb Mount Everest for the 20th time," he said in a statement published on his website. "I also climbed to bring attention to the damage done to the Himalayas because of global climate change."

Thousands of people have climbed Mount Everest since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first people to conquer the 8,848-metre (29,028-foot) mountain in 1953.
