Insurance Board chief faces fraud charge

RUPAK D SHARMA
KATHMANDU, May 25: Binod Aryal, the executive director of the Insurance Board, who took the lead in cleansing the virtually unruly insurance sector, appears to have landed in soup over insurance policy corruption and fraud.

The management head of the insurance sector regulator has been charged of wielding influence to issue a directive for personal gains and demanding compensation for loss of jet ski by purchasing insurance policy after occurrence of the accident. These allegations were confirmed by multiple sources. [More]

  THISTLE SISTER Carpe diem!  
  BY PRIANKA RAUNIYAR  
 
While I fail to understand the psyche behind that emotion, I know I have felt it.

A kid – the age of my little brother – at the onset of teenage had a hip pain and visited the doctor. The last thing on his and his family’s mind was that he could be suffering from not just cancer but a rare form of terminal cancer. He’s a cheerful, empathetic boy who finds good in everything and has simple dreams of being with family, attending college, singing and strumming his guitar, spending time with his sisters, riding the his favorite car. Zach Sobiech, eighteen, lost his battle with cancer on 20th May 2013 while his song – Clouds, which went viral on YouTube sometime back, went on to become number one on iTunes this week! He is remembered as a rock-star by many, not just friends and family, because he brought courage, faith and determination to many lives. He wanted to be remembered, in his words, as the kid who went down fighting and did not lose.
