Is being a police inspector an impediment in matrimonial front? This has become so for a police inspector, an unmarried one of course, when several girls refused to marry him only because they were afraid that he would be transferred to the Maoist areas and the unthinkable would happen. Seems the police are losing the battle on the Maoist and also the matrimonial front.

Kudos to the UML for at least initiating a campaign to curb corruption. A start had to be made somewhere to do away with this malaise once and for all. But unlike charity, corruption cleaning doesn’t seem to begin at home for the UML. No sir, not by looking at the list of corrupt people the party exposed last Saturday.

Leaders talk big of not politicising educational institutions, but their followers could be seen forcibly closing down campuses on Monday. Maybe these student activists have had enough of political knowledge to not want academic learning. But sadly it is the non-political students who suffer.

With the UML announcing another string of protests and also a bandh next month, it seems the poor Nepalese are in for one more month of political turmoil. While the people suffer, Tattler wonders for whose sake all these protests are being organised?
