A tourist raising concerns about drugs being openly offered on #Kathmandu's streets demands immediate action.
#Nepal recorded 5,110 drug cases & 7,943 arrests in FY 2024/25.
Yet where is the visible response from #BalenShah govt?
Silence is not governance. @amritna 1/
Nearly 20.9 kg of cocaine and 51.4 kg of marijuana were seized in #Nepal in FY 2024/25, according to reported police figures.
@ShahBalen, #Kathmandu's international image cannot be protected through branding alone.
Public safety and visible enforcement matter. @ameetdhakal 2/
Himalayan floods affecting #Bhutan, #Nepal, Assam & West Bengal demand serious regional attention.
#India, Nepal & Bhutan need coordinated disaster monitoring, transparent upstream data & cooperation to protect vulnerable communities.
@manjushreethapa
Beyond infrastructure & security, the #India–#Bhutan partnership is built on people-to-people connections.
Initiatives like the Fit India Freedom Run 7.0 in Phuentsholing, Bhutan, strengthen community ties & cross-border goodwill.
India's #NeighbourhoodFirst in action!
@Reaproy
🇮🇱 Netanyahu's political comeback could further complicate an already volatile Middle East.
For countries across the region, the real question is whether his next moves will bring stability or deepen an already dangerous confrontation.
Someone is invoking #BalenShah's name to approach Supreme Court judges over pending cases.
Is this dirty business being run in PM's name, or is #BalenShah simply the escape goat?
Either way, the PM cannot dodge accountability.
#Nepal deserves answers. @ptkums 1/
For #NepalGenZ govt that promised to end political interference, the controversy surrounding #BalenShah and reported attempts to approach #Nepal's Supreme Court judges raises deeply troubling questions. @ThapaRUmesh 2/
422 industries received FDI commitments, but 417 were small projects.
Only 3 were large-scale investments!
#Nepal needs serious capital, not another round of political theatre.
What is #BalenShah govt doing?
@MadhuRamanACH
2 women terrorised in their own homes, with attackers accused of using knives, choking and sexual violence.
No woman should have to fear being hunted in her own home.
Australia needs tougher accountability and real protection for vulnerable women.
🇵🇰 #Pakistan’s PCB has dealt a blow to #Nepal’s NPL, with a last-minute $25,000-per-player NOC demand disrupting franchises & leaving stars sidelined.
This is what unreliable partnerships cost.
#Nepal deserves partners that deliver, not last-minute surprises. @subedibinu 1/
Pakistan’s military-dominated system & the PCB’s last-minute $25,000 NOC demand have hurt #Nepal’s NPL franchises & disappointed fans.
The #BalenShah govt must rethink its approach to #Pakistan & prioritise reliable regional partnerships over misplaced trust. @TheBiddhut 2/
. #Nepal’s political audio scandals expose a system battling corruption allegations, weak accountability and public distrust. From Mahara to Baskota, controversy shakes institutions. #NepalPolitics @RaameshKoirala 1/

🇳🇵 #Nepal needs transparent investigations, strong institutions and justice based on evidence—not political gam
Neither political loyalty nor viral outrage should replace justice. @gbudhathoki 2/
🇦🇺 🇵🇭🤝🇺🇸 🇯🇵
Stronger defence partnerships among the Philippines, the US, Japan, Australia and India are vital for a peaceful, stable and secure Indo-Pacific. Dialogue, coordination and shared commitment remain key to regional security.
An 83-year-old citizen is filling highway potholes with his own hands.
This old man deserves respect, but #Nepal’s infrastructure should never depend on elderly citizens repairing what authorities should maintain.
Where is the accountability under #BalenShah?
@gaunkomanchhey 1/
🇳🇵 #Nepal needs durable roads, not photo opportunities and promises of change.
When an 83-year-old steps in to make a highway safer, it raises an uncomfortable question about the #BalenShah govt: who is actually taking responsibility for basic infrastructure? @manjushreethapa 2/
Nepal’s Dr. Govinda KC is preparing for his 25th hunger strike while the #BalenShah govt leaves medical reform commitments unfulfilled.
A system that forces one man to risk his life 25 times for accountability isn’t reforming #Nepal’s healthcare—it’s failing its people.
@ourjaya
🇮🇳 🇧🇹 Visa-free travel between #India & #Bhutan shows the depth of their special relationship.
Open borders & people-to-people ties prove that freedom of movement isn’t just a European idea—it thrives in #SouthAsia too.
