हिजोआजको ट्राफिक चेकिङबारे केही कुरा भन्नै पर्ने भो। १. मूल चोक (त्रिबाटो/दोबाटो/चौबाटो)मा गाडीहरू थुप्रिएका हुन्छन्। पल्लो कुनामा चार जना ट्राफिक चिट काट्दै हुन्छन् । २. घुम्ती (टर्निङ)हरूमा नयाँ नयाँ घुम्न निषेधका नियम बनिसक्छ। त्यहाँ बसेर उता जानुस् भनेर संकेत गर्दैनन्, पल्लो कुनामा सिकारी कुकुरजस्तो लुकेर हातमा चिटको प्याकेट बोकर ५/७ जना नै बसेका हुन्छन् । ३. नयाँ नयाँ घुम्न निषेधले पुरै सेलरोटी चक्र बनाउँछ, उदाहरणका लागि तपाईं नक्साल हुँदै ठमेल पुग्नुछ भने बीचमा क्रसिङ कतै छैन। ४. प्रहरी हाकिम साबहरू जनशक्ति पुगेन नभन्नु होला, चिट काट्न बसेका हुलमध्ये सही व्यवस्थापन १/२ जनाले गर्नसक्छन्। ५. चिट काटेबापत ट्राफिकले अतिरिक्त आयचाहिँ गर्दैनन है! उपत्यका ट्राफिक कार्यालयमा हाकिम फेरिएसँगै कार्यसम्पादन सूचक राम्रो देखाउन काम देखाएका हुन्। जति बढी राजस्व असुली उति राम्रो होइन । ट्राफिक प्रहरीको काम राजस्व असुली होइन । जय नेपाल (प्रहरीवाला)

शास्त्रीय संगीत में गुरू शिष्य परंपरा अनोखी विरासत है। कई बार पिता और गुरू एक ही हैं।लेकिन जब संगीत की बात आती है तो वो पहले गुरू हैं बाद में पिता। पं राम देशपांडे और उनके पुत्र गांधार राम देशपांडे की ये क्लिप इसी परंपरा की झलक है #Raaggiri #GuruBlessings @YRDeshmukh @hvgoenka

I invite friends to watch this brief documentary on the journey my husband and I undertook to create a project for peace and understanding through music: the South Asian Symphony Orchestra. Here it is: Peace Notes, the Journey of an Orchestra. drive.google.com/file/d/1RHR…

There is a lot of mis- & disinformation circulating right now. What we share online can have consequences in the real world. Take a minute to pause & verify facts.

“As a network of community radio broadcasters, AMARC faces a crossroads moment – should it restrict itself to conventional radio broadcasters, or should the future envision a network of community media practitioners regardless of the medium of distributing their content?”
The President of @AMARC_AP Ramnath Bhat reflects on the priorities and challenges for community radio in the Asia-Pacific after the recent regional conference in Bangkok. Read here: uccommedia.uohyd.ac.in/news/…

विपद्मा धेरै मिथ्या सूचना भाइरल हुने गर्छन्। सामाजिक सञ्जालमा लाइक, कमेन्ट र सेयर गर्न हतार नगरौँ। सम्भव भएसम्म सूचनाकाे तथ्य परीक्षण गरौँ। आधिकारिक स्राेतबाट सूचना लिउँ।

The Indian government’s illegal crackdown on media is increasing menacingly. I think advocates of free media and freedom of expression in Nepal and all of South Asia should speak in support of our colleagues across the border. @FNJNepal @RSF_Nepal @tndahal7 @IFEX

The #COVID19 pandemic showed that community media play a vital role to keep the public informed and counter #misinformation, @sumanbasnet of WACC partner @AMARC_AP stressed at #WACCNairobi2023 @waccafrica
Confusion characterized communication at the onset of COVID-19. Thousands of people died of misinformation than COVID. This underscores the importance and role of community media. Suman Basnet. #WACCNairobi2023 @waccglobal @amarc_ap
