Ambar Gurung bags Image Awards 2056

-By a Post Reporter

KATHMANDU, Jan 16 - The media can be more effective in relaying suggestions from the country’s experts if the government widens its bureaucratic bottleneck, said President of the Nepali Congress Girija Prasad Koirala today.

“It is going to be beneficial to the government if its bureaucratic bottleneck is widened. Various experts then can present their visions through newspapers which make it easy for the government,” said Koirala speaking here at the 3rd Anniversary of Image Channel Pvt. Ltd.

Koirala said though the government’s policies in issues like economics, water resources, education, agriculture and so on are not defective, they have to be reviewed by experts as we enter the new millennium.

Veteran musician and singer Amber Gurung was awarded the Image Award  2056 at the occasion. He accepted the award with tearful eyes.

Music Maestro Gurung, 62, is one of the few in the country with knowledge over choir, jazz and symphony which is very popular in the west. Only last year, he had conducted a solo musical concert using choir probably for the first time in Nepal.

Similarly, Ram Krishna Dhakal was also awarded the Yuwa Sangeet Sadhak Award. Dhakal had swept all the three major awards he was nominated in at another musical award held yesterday.
