Written by space4knews on . Posted in Business. No Comments on A Deep Sense of Pain in Nepali Hearts Is Essential for Nation Building

To build a nation, it is essential for Nepalese people to feel a profound sense of pain for their country. Every Nepali heart must experience the country’s suffering. Once, it was the land of the Himalayas, then of certain attire. Once, it was the land of hills, distinguished by unique garments. Once, it was the land of the Terai, marked by distinct cultural dress. If the nation did not exist, then ultimately, what would remain with anyone? The blood of Nepalese must flow with the spirit of the nation. Therefore, it is crucial that every heart senses the country’s pain. Unity must be maintained across all languages and ethnicities. Every religion and culture must preserve its unique characteristics.

Without a nation, what would truly remain for anyone? The nation must bloom in the eyes of the Nepalese. That is why it is imperative for Nepali hearts to feel the nation’s suffering. Nepal should become like a bouquet of flowers for all. We all must be its gardeners. Without the nation, power and privileges hold no meaning. Therefore, the country must rise in the hands of everyone. For nation-building, the pain of the nation within the hearts of Nepalese is absolutely necessary.

Government’s Measures to Address the Shortage of Cancer Treatment Medicines

Written by space4knews on . Posted in News. No Comments on Government’s Measures to Address the Shortage of Cancer Treatment Medicines

The Ministry of Health and Population has stated that it is continuously discussing possible immediate and long-term solutions to the shortage of some essential medicines required for cancer treatment. Physicians providing treatment and organizations working in the cancer sector have recently reported a significant deepening of the medicine shortage problem in the market. The government fixed the prices 11 years ago and states the inflation in drug prices has made suppliers unable to maintain supply. According to the decision set on Jestha 21, 2072 BS (June 4, 2015), the prices of these scarce medicines were fixed. Currently, the price of Carboplatin 450 mg is NPR 4,131, Cisplatin 50 mg NPR 532, and Oxaliplatin 50 mg NPR 4,036. However, due to the substantial increase in the cost of platinum and other raw materials, suppliers have complained that without price revision, they cannot import these medicines.

Addressing the worsening issue, Senior Cancer Specialist Prof. Dr. Sandhya Chapagain of Bir Hospital stated that the shortage of essential cancer medicines has been an increasing problem for approximately one and a half months. She explained, “The primary issue is the shortage of medicines like Carboplatin, Cisplatin, and Oxaliplatin, which are crucial for treating curable cancers.” Dr. Chapagain further added, “Due to the unavailability of these curative medicines, patients suffer immense pain during treatment, akin to being told they can only drink water when they have the desire to eat.”

Relatives of patients are rushing from one pharmacy to another searching for the medicines needed for treatment, but availability has recently decreased, as reported by Dr. Chapagain. The Nepal Cancer Relief Society has also noted a rapid increase in cancer patients’ relatives seeking assistance at its office. Deependra Bantawa, the society’s General Secretary, stated, “Patients have reported being forced to travel to India due to the medicine shortage.” He added, “The government appears to have made no efforts in this area; patients demand concessions such as discounted tickets for travel to India.”

Dr. Chapagain has suggested that since rising raw material prices have led to higher medicine costs, the government should revise the prices accordingly. The Ministry of Health and Population confirmed that, following various complaints from suppliers, it is engaged in daily discussions with stakeholders to find solutions. Ministry spokesperson Dr. Sameer Kumar Adhikari said, “Suppliers have expressed that due to increased raw material costs and existing minimum price fixes, they are unable to bring medicines to the market. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have impacted supply.”

“We are considering various perspectives and are consulting the Department of Drug Administration and other agencies about not only price decisions but also alternative solutions,” he added. Previously, when medicine shortages occurred, the ministry instructed suppliers to provide medicines at low profit margins, but such arrangements proved unsustainable over time, leading to the current shortage. To ensure patients have easier access to medicines, the ministry is exploring cooperation options with national and international cancer organizations and friendly countries, according to Dr. Adhikari. “Discussions with friendly nations are underway to facilitate smoother medicine pricing and supply,” he said. “Efforts are focused not just on immediate decisions but on long-term solutions.” Authorities also stated that Nepal mainly imports cancer treatment medicines from India, followed by Bangladesh.

  • Under the new arrangement, players and match officials will stand facing each other around the center circle instead of facing the spectators.
  • FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated this change will create a special moment for both players and fans.

May 5, Kathmandu — FIFA has made a significant change to the formal pre-match proceedings for the 2026 World Cup. From now on, all 26 players on each team will be present on the field during the playing of the national anthem.

Previously, only the starting 11 players stood on the field during the anthem, while the substitutes and officials remained seated near the technical area on the bench. However, beginning with the tournament hosted jointly by the United States, Canada, and Mexico in 2026, all squad members will be on the field during the anthem.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino described this change as part of efforts to enrich the experience of both players and supporters.

He said, “As the World Cup expands, we are introducing new dimensions to how the competition is experienced. Having all players and referees face each other around the center circle during the national anthem will create special moments of unity, pride, and emotion.”

Written by space4knews on . Posted in Business. No Comments on Launch of Pradeep Pariyar’s Book ‘Siodhago’

Kathmandu – The book launch of social activist Pradeep Pariyar’s ‘Siodhago’ took place on Thursday evening in Kathmandu. Known as an activist of Dalit Lives Matter, which raises caste-related issues, Pradeep Pariyar is recognized as a skilled strategist in inclusive leadership, participatory good governance, and building a responsible society.

He stated, “This work is a document of the unheard truths of marginalized lives. It is the voice of hope and rebellion rising from tears, injustice, and humiliation.”

The book captures realities witnessed and endured from remote villages of Nepal to global platforms, including the living experiences of youth, the Rukum Soti massacre, the pain of daughters who were raped and murdered, and the endless struggles of mothers who lost their sons in custody. He added, “This book is not merely a story of pain but a flame of consciousness; it is a proclamation against injustice.”

Sudhan Gurung Accused of Threatening Detained Janajati Activists

Written by space4knews on . Posted in News. No Comments on Sudhan Gurung Accused of Threatening Detained Janajati Activists

According to reports, Janajati youths detained near the Indian Embassy during protests over a border dispute are being held at the Sohra Khutte police station. The National Janajati Citizens’ Campaign has accused former Home Minister and Member of Parliament Sudhan Gurung of threatening these youths during his visit to the detention center. Pawan Kumar Bhattarai, spokesperson for the Kathmandu District Police Office, confirmed that MP Gurung visited the detained youths at the Sohra Khutte police station. (22 Jestha, Kathmandu)

On 20 Jestha, police arrested several youths who had gathered near the Indian Embassy in Lainchaur to protest the border dispute. Those detained were taken to the Sohra Khutte police station. However, Janajati activists allege that former Home Minister and National Independent Party MP Sudhan Gurung personally intimidated them at the detention facility. The National Janajati Citizens’ Campaign issued a statement on Thursday claiming that Sudhan Gurung mistreated the detainees.

“We had approached near the Indian Embassy to peacefully distribute pamphlets. However, before the event could commence, police forcibly detained four Janajati activists – Ajay Sodari, Prakash Bam, Sujan Paudel, and Stul James Nepali – and took them to Sohra Khutte. About an hour into their detention, Sudhan Gurung arrived with a group and entered the lockup, subjecting us to unusual and disrespectful pressure,” the statement read.

The Janajati activists further claimed that Gurung issued additional threats. “He told us, ‘Whoever you are affiliated with, this is your last chance. If government and police catch you again, we will not release you. Stop speaking against the government,’” they stated, alleging he tried to create mental pressure and intimidate them. Concerns were raised that allowing an unauthorized individual to threaten those in police custody is a serious matter that warrants investigation.

SP and spokesperson of Kathmandu District Police Office Pawan Kumar Bhattarai confirmed Gurung’s presence at the police station. “He (Sudhan Gurung) did go there. After learning that the Janajati youths were held there, he went to meet them,” Bhattarai said. Although Gurung’s visit to Sohra Khutte police station was confirmed, police have not officially commented on whether he threatened the detainees.

Sources indicate that Gurung spent some time with the Janajati youths, though details about any threats remain unclear. Attempts to contact former Minister Sudhan Gurung for comment were unsuccessful. Police have affirmed that Gurung visited the detainees and spoke with them briefly.

Written by space4knews on . Posted in International. No Comments on Founder of Cockroach Janata Party Dipak Appeals Supporters Not to Crowd Airport

May 22, Kathmandu – Abhijit Dipak, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), has made significant changes to his plans before returning from the United States to India. In a video message released via the social media platform X on Thursday, he specifically urged his supporters and students not to crowd Delhi airport on June 6. Previously, he had called on his supporters to gather at the airport. However, after the movement gained more public support than expected and given the large crowds that had assembled at the airport earlier, he withdrew that appeal, citing concerns about potential inconvenience to the general public and security personnel. He clarified that the decision was made to prevent unrest and disorder.

Upon his arrival at the airport, Dipak informed that he would go directly to the Parliament Road police post to officially seek permission for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar. He stated, “We are responsible citizens who comply with the law, so we must act responsibly.” Demanding the resignation of the Education Minister, the party has appointed Saurabh Das, Vijeta Dahiya, and Ashutosh Rank as official spokespersons.

Through the press conference, the party reiterated its demand for the resignation of Central Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. CJP spokesperson Saurabh Das accused CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh and Secretary Himanshu Gupta’s transfers of being merely symbolic. He emphasized that accountability must be established in the education system and that merely transferring officials would not solve the problems.

June 11, Kathmandu — Pakistan has yet to qualify for the FIFA World Cup. However, as each tournament approaches, Pakistan’s name surfaces in connection with the event, fueling the dreams of football fans in the country.

FIFA World Cup 2026 will take place from June 11 across North America, jointly hosted by three countries: the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Pakistan did not qualify, having won against Cambodia in the first Asian qualifying round but losing all six matches in Group G during the second round.

Though Pakistan’s football team is not competing, there is a notable connection with the event worth highlighting.

This connection concerns the official match ball used in the FIFA World Cup.

It may surprise many to learn that the ball used in the World Cup is manufactured in Pakistan, but this is indeed true. The ball used in the 23rd FIFA World Cup starting June 11 is produced in Pakistan.

Over the course of the largest World Cup to date, encompassing 104 matches, these Pakistani-made balls will be on the field. Some of the world’s best established and emerging players will use this ball.

The official ball, named Trionda, is designed by Adidas, but its production takes place in the small northeastern Pakistani city of Sialkot.

The ball used in FIFA World Cup 2026 features cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship. Before discussing the ball’s features, it is important to mention where and how it is made.

This ball is produced by Forward Sports, a company based in Sialkot, Pakistan.

Founded in 1991 in Sialkot, Punjab, Forward Sports primarily manufactures footballs and produces balls for renowned brands like Adidas.

Since 1994, Forward Sports has partnered with Adidas to produce balls for various competitions. Over the last four World Cups, this Pakistani company has manufactured the official balls. They have also produced balls for the UEFA Champions League.

Beyond these, Forward Sports has crafted balls for several versions of the European Champions League and has continuously supplied official balls for every FIFA World Cup since 2014.

Specifically, Forward Sports produced the Brazuca ball for the 2014 World Cup, the Telstar 18 for 2018, the Al Rihla for 2022, and now the Trionda for 2026.

The company also manufactures handballs, beach volleyballs, indoor balls, goalkeeper gloves, and sports bags.

As one of the world’s largest football producers, Forward Sports leverages over three decades of experience and advanced technologies to produce more than 20 million footballs annually.

The company ensures precision, high quality, and innovation in every match ball delivered for the FIFA World Cup and other top global leagues.

Pakistan produces approximately 70% of the world’s high-quality, hand-stitched footballs. Annually, this industry manufactures an estimated 40 to 60 million balls, employing about 60,000 people across more than 1,000 factories.

Engineers and designers at Forward Sports begin by creating the ball’s design and digital modeling.

They carefully test factors such as air balance and resistance in the air. Afterward, raw materials are selected for layered construction. The World Cup ball uses high-quality synthetic materials, rather than traditional leather, making it water-resistant.

Inside the ball is a bladder made from premium butyl rubber that maintains air pressure for extended periods. The outer layers include synthetic material and EVA foam, providing flexibility and bounce.

The production process involves cutting panels, printing, assembling, thermal bonding, embossing, and texturing. After quality control, the ball is shipped worldwide.

The Official Ball of FIFA World Cup 2026: Trionda

The official match ball used at FIFA World Cup 2026 is named ‘Trionda’ and designed by prominent sports manufacturer Adidas.

The name ‘Trionda’ derives from Spanish, meaning ‘Three Waves’—’tri’ for three and ‘onda’ for wave.

For the first time in history, the FIFA World Cup is hosted jointly by three nations, and this ball reflects that cooperation in its design.

The ball incorporates symbols representing the three hosts: a maple leaf for Canada, an eagle for Mexico, and a star for the United States.

Its design features a blend of red, green, and blue to honor the host countries.

This ball employs new technologies and innovative manufacturing methods. It is composed of only four panels, the fewest ever used, with deep stitching to improve aerodynamic stability and speed.

According to FIFA, the four panels connect at the center forming a triangle symbolizing the historic unity of the three host nations.

Additionally, gold color elements pay tribute to the FIFA World Cup trophy, exuding the event’s prestige.

The Trionda ball features advanced technology. Its four-panel structure has deep stitching that provides consistent air resistance, enhancing stability during flight.

Micro-engraved patterns on the ball’s surface improve grip for players during wet or humid conditions.

It integrates ‘Connected Ball Technology’ with a cutting-edge 500 Hz motion sensor chip inside, delivering detailed movement data.

This data is transmitted in real time to the Video Assistant Referee system, enabling quicker and more accurate decisions on offsides and other complex calls.

Trump and Putin Compete to Win Modi’s Favor

Written by space4knews on . Posted in International. No Comments on Trump and Putin Compete to Win Modi’s Favor

Following a review of the news summary, US President Donald Trump stated, “We need to reach an agreement because I like Prime Minister Modi very much.” Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted that American pressure would not affect India and that the partnership between the two countries would remain strong. Putin is confirmed to attend the BRICS summit in New Delhi this September.

June 5, Kathmandu – The world’s two major powers, the United States and Russia, are competing to attract India toward their respective spheres. US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have openly praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, signaling their intent to strengthen their national interests and partnerships with India.

US Interests: Friendship with Modi and a Trade Deal
Speaking with journalists at the White House, President Trump expressed optimism about an upcoming major trade agreement between the US and India. He described Prime Minister Modi as a “very good friend” and emphasized the strong relationship between the two nations. Trump lamented that in the past, India had benefited from high tariffs on American goods, while the US had not gained much. However, he claimed the scenario has now changed, and the US is earning significant revenue from trade with India. He added, “We have to reach a deal because I like Prime Minister Modi very much.”

While Trump’s praise continues, the US has simultaneously imposed additional tariffs on imports from 54 countries, including India. This move aims to prevent the importation of goods produced through forced labor.

Putin’s Assertion: India Will Not Be Swayed by US Pressure
On June 4, during a conversation with international journalists in Saint Petersburg, Russian President Putin openly praised India and Prime Minister Modi. He stated that despite American attempts to pressure India, the relationship with Russia would remain unaffected and India would resist external pressures. Putin described India as a “great country and democracy” and pledged that Russia regards India as a reliable partner.

He added that India prioritizes its national interests and that growing ties with the US would not weaken India-Russia relations. Putin also noted that Western countries’ efforts to reduce ties with Russia and pressure India over this would be detrimental for international relations. He commended Modi’s leadership and persistent policy implementation, crediting these factors for India becoming one of the fastest-growing economies worldwide. Putin expressed confidence that India-Russia trade will reach $100 billion in the future.

Upcoming Visits and India-Russia Agreements
India is currently chairing BRICS this year. Russian President Putin is scheduled to attend the BRICS summit in New Delhi on September 12 and 13. Prime Minister Modi is also planning a visit to Russia later this year. Putin last visited India on December 4, 2015, to participate in the 23rd India-Russia annual summit. That was his first trip after the Ukraine conflict began and his second since 2021. Upon arrival in Delhi, Putin and Modi traveled together in the same Toyota SUV to the Prime Minister’s residence.

During the 2015 summit, several significant agreements were signed. Among them, Russia committed to providing India with a continuous and uninterrupted supply of fuel. Indian companies also agreed to collaborate with a Russian company to establish a urea plant in Russia. Additionally, formal agreements between India’s FSSAI and Russia’s Consumer Protection Agency were signed to strengthen food safety regulations. There were also multiple memoranda of understanding to enhance cooperation in medical research and healthcare services. Cooperation was agreed upon in port and shipping operations as well. Both countries reached internal understandings to facilitate the free movement of people and streamline immigration processes.

Meta Establishes Data Center Tents in Ohio with New AI Chip Deployment Plan

Written by space4knews on . Posted in Business. No Comments on Meta Establishes Data Center Tents in Ohio with New AI Chip Deployment Plan

Meta has constructed its data centers inside large tents in Ohio, USA, as part of its ‘Rapid Deployment Structure’ initiative aimed at enhancing AI capabilities. The plan involves installing AI chips valued at billions of dollars within five tents, each spanning 125,000 square feet, with the goal of halving construction time. Meta’s expansive investment in this data center project, with expenditures expected to reach up to $14.5 billion, has coincided with a 5% decline in the company’s share price this year.

To meet the rising demand for artificial intelligence, Meta has adopted an unconventional strategy by building data centers inside large tents located in New Albany, Ohio. This approach, termed by Meta as the ‘Rapid Deployment Structure,’ was revealed by Michael Thomas, founder of Cleanview, who closely monitors data center construction.

This strategy aligns with practices seen in companies like Tesla and xAI. The primary objective is to reduce construction time by half. According to local permits studied by Thomas, Meta began erecting the five large tents between April and June. Each tent covers an area of 125,000 square feet.

Satellite imagery shows the completion of these structures. Previously, in 2025, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had disclosed plans to utilize weather-resistant tents to house multi-gigawatt data centers. The site is powered by modular gas turbines with a capacity of 200 megawatts, a technology also employed by Elon Musk’s xAI company.

Within these tents, AI chips worth billions of dollars will be housed. Although Meta has already developed its new AI model, ‘Muse Spark,’ its availability for developers has been delayed, making this physical infrastructure crucial. Meta plans to invest up to $14.5 billion in data center and other capital expenditures. Investors have shown limited enthusiasm for Meta’s large spending initiatives, contributing to the 5% drop in the company’s share price this year. Opting for tent-based data centers instead of permanent buildings is viewed as a cost-cutting and faster deployment measure by Meta.
