Road infrastructure: A stone age in Nepal

There isn’t even an example in the country of what the standard of a national highway should be.

The media and politicians make a fuss, claiming that a road has been connected to the network just because a bulldozer passed through.

For how long will our definition of a paved road remain just applying a layer of black coating?

National highways are in such fragile condition that there isn’t even a single example in the country to set a benchmark.

Either our representatives only focus on digging roads, or they have no idea about what road standards should be.

We are still in the Stone Age when it comes to road infrastructure—talking about railways and water transport is nothing but a daydream.

Look What a Joke!!

Even Google says that to Travel from Kathmandu to Dadeldhura, home town of waiting PM Sher Bahadur Dewa, the 777Km road within Nepal takes similar time compared to 920 KM through Indian Highway. 

The sons of kings vs. the sons of today’s political leaders.

The eldest son destined to be king received an education tailored for leadership—diplomacy, strategy, and governance were all taught to him. His upbringing was entirely different from that of other family members, ensuring he was well-prepared to rule the nation.

But today, leaders who entered the capital wearing cheap, worn-out sandals are behaving like a beggar who, upon receiving a banana, eats it whole with the peel. Some of their own children have already left the country, believing that their fathers’ politics won’t build a nation. Those who remain are either involved in smuggling or gang activities because their fathers failed to guide them. The so-called revolutionary leaders who once vowed to change the country couldn’t even set their own children on the right path—so how can they be expected to lead a nation?
