8 dolphins counted in Karnali river: Study

ANJALI SUBEDI
REPUBLICA, May 26: Recent research estimates a maximum of six to eight resident dolphins in the Karnali river of far-western Nepal.
While experts hesitate to go along with this, the researchers have warned of a marked decline in both the number and distribution range of dolphins in the Karnali river system "which may lead to a further decline and ultimate extinction of the dolphin from the river if stringent measures are not taken to protect these acquatic mammals".

Dolphins are listed as a critically endangered species, the highest level of threat under the list provided by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). [More]

  PROFILE MITHILA SHARMA: Her dancing feats  
  BY NISTHA RAYAMAJHI  
 
As dusk slowly approaches and a day’s hectic schedule comes to an end, she makes her way home to Dhobighat, Lalitpur. Mithila Sharma is just back after a rigorous choreography session with a group of 400 Armed Police Force personnel for the upcoming Republic day event. But she doesn’t look a bit tired. Dressed in a kurtha and her hair in a braid, her gleaming expressive eyes still holds the same charm and her beauty is mesmerizing.

The wall on the passage that leads to her living room is full of awards and certificates that stand testimony to her achievements. She is the recipient of Gorkha Dakshin Bahu, Siksha Padak, First Television Actress Award among many other honors. But if there’s one thing that has propelled Sharma to stardom, it’s her determination. With more than hundred movies and countless numbers of serials and stage shows to her credit, she has carved her niche in field of dance and acting.
