Kathmandu, 22 Chaitra – The Kathmandu District Court has sentenced Mahiman Singh Bist, a branch officer of the Supreme Court, to six months imprisonment for offenses related to issuing fraudulent documents. Bist had issued a fake letter that led to the arrest of Resham Chaudhary, the then founding leader of the Civil Liberties Party. Judge Khimanand Bhusal’s bench imposed a six-month jail term along with a fine of NPR 10,000 on Bist.

On 17th Baisakh, based on a letter issued by Mahiman Singh Bist, Resham Chaudhary, a former parliamentarian and protector of the Civil Liberties Party, was arrested. However, the letter, which ordered Chaudhary’s imprisonment despite the case still being under consideration, was later declared unauthorized and illegal by the court. Chaudhary was released within hours of this ruling. Following the incident, Bist was arrested for issuing the fraudulent letter.

The Supreme Court promptly issued another letter to the prison and police authorities to facilitate the release of Resham Chaudhary.

Summary: Despite being in the fourth stage of cancer, 22-year-old Riya Basnet managed to attend and dance at Nepathya’s concert. Tickets for Nepathya’s Canada tour Toronto concert had sold out two weeks in advance. The band is preparing for another event on April 18 at London Music Hall in Ontario after the Toronto show.
Toronto, Canada – As audiences left Queen Elizabeth Theatre, their faces shone with joy. Yet none were as deeply satisfied as 22-year-old Riya Basnet. Battling stage-four ovarian cancer, Riya had undergone two surgeries and multiple therapies. Attending her favorite band’s concert was a significant challenge. Standing was difficult, dancing almost impossible. Yet on Monday evening, she arrived at the packed hall in Toronto. Uncomfortable sitting, she was helped to a spot where she could stand and dance.
“Because of my physical condition, I was different from other dancing spectators,” said Riya, a business graduate living in Canada from Birtamod, Jhapa. “I was battling myself in every moment of what had been a dream since childhood.” Her cancer has also affected her mental health; she now needs medication for depression. “How can I express the value of a little light in deep darkness?” Riya reflected. “I will cherish this moment as if it were my last breath of life.”

The show in the bustling business city of Toronto had sold out tickets two weeks prior. Though the crowd had similar vibrant energy, individual circumstances varied. Sonia Tiwari, a third-generation Nepali family member residing in North America, had never attended a Nepali concert before.
“Before I was born, Nepathya’s songs played at home, and I grew up listening to those songs,” Sonia shared. “I never imagined how much energy Amrit Gurung spreads to every spectator on stage, touching the soul.” She praised how professionally and meticulously the Nepali event was organized. Because of this experience, after the concert ended, the audience hesitated to leave, chanting “Nepathya, Nepathya” for a long time as Nepali flags waved everywhere.
The songs themselves and the messages they carried energized the crowd, especially Amrit Gurung’s remarks before performing “Gaun Gaun Bata Uth.”
“This song played in every movement that brought change to Nepal’s government,” Amrit said before the performance. “However, those who repeatedly came to power have forgotten the song’s essence.” When Amrit referenced the “recent Gen-Z movement,” the hall erupted in applause.
“The new generation must not forget this song’s meaning. Written by Shyam Tamot in opposition to the Panchayat system and sung by Manjul-Ramesh, this song reminds us that if mistakes are repeated, Nepalis will rise again from every village and settlement with the same vigilance.”
The audience responded with wholehearted agreement and enthusiasm.
Throughout the concert, the artists received continuous encouragement and energy from the crowd.
“Songs played one after another, allowing me to immerse myself in nostalgic memories,” said Sameer Shrestha, a medical lab technician from Kathmandu attending the concert in Toronto.
Many spectators came from afar to see Nepathya’s performance in Toronto, including Anup Ghimire from Vancouver.
“This was my first time experiencing a Nepathya concert,” said Anup, who graduated in communications from Pokhara. “From the presentation to the atmosphere and organized program, I didn’t feel like I had traveled far.”
Ujjwala Pradhan, a graduate of George Brown College, said the concert reminded them of their roots.
“It was like a sweet story blending excitement and past memories,” she observed. “Nepathya carried their environment and made us feel a sense of home.” Ujjwala, who came from Sikkim, recalled how the band’s energetic performance made all the audience jump and dance.
The band concluded their show with the song “Rato Ra Chandrasuraj.” On stage, Amrit was supported by Dhruv Lama (drums), Subin Shakya (bass guitar), Neeraj Gurung (guitar), Shanti Rayamajhi (madal), and Dineshraj Regmi (keyboard).
“Such a Nepali performance on foreign soil is rare,” said organizer Chiring Sherpa, expressing pride in hosting a concert that brought so much joy to the audience.
After this performance, the 14-member team of artists, technicians, and management will travel to London, Ontario, for the tour’s final show scheduled for April 18 at London Music Hall, approximately two hundred kilometers from Toronto. Since tickets at the Elizabeth Hall had sold out, organizers expect Toronto’s audience to attend the London concert as well. Tickets can be purchased online through arrangements made by Nepalaya, with reservations available via Nepathya’s official website.

April 15, Kathmandu – Indra Bahadur Baniya, the Chief Minister of Bagmati Province, has advocated for the authorization of cannabis use for medicinal purposes. In a discussion held on Thursday with Prime Minister Balendra Shah at the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers’ Office in Singha Durbar, Chief Minister Baniya emphasized the need for the federal government to enact legislation granting this right.

“Cannabis contains medicinal properties. If cannabis is already used as medicine at the Singha Durbar clinic, why not move forward with legally regulating it?” he suggested to the Prime Minister. He added, “The initial phase can start in designated pocket areas such as Makwanpur and several other districts. Coordination among federal, provincial, and local governments is essential to establish proper regulation and monitoring systems, thereby paving the way for controlled cannabis use.”
