Ban asks parties to 'maintain momentum' to hold polls by mid-Dec

REPUBLICA
KATHMANDU, May 25: Amid delay in expediting the works related to fresh elections, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged all parties in Nepal to overcome remaining political obstacles to hold the country´s next elections within the existing timetable.

In a statement on Friday, Secretary General Ban´s spokesperson said the Secretary-General “has been following events in Nepal closely,” and “urges all parties to maintain momentum by overcoming the remaining political obstacles to hold the next elections within the existing timetable of the recent 11-point agreement.” [More]

  SOCIETY Tougher trials to yield: better drivers  
  BY ASMITA MANANDHAR  
 
The new license trial examination requires the two-wheelers and four-wheelers to pass through several processes before they are regarded capable of acquiring the driving license.

On a busy road, a motorcycle accelerates rapidly regardless of other vehicles whizzing beside it. And to top it off, it does not speed in a linear path, but decides to put up a show and paces in a criss-cross path in an S-like trail, further confusing the fellow drivers on the road.
 
When such incidents occur, the on-duty Traffic Police generally stop such riders for their low road etiquette. But instead of acknowledging their mistake, the riders confidently say that this was how they passed their license test.
