Two party, UML and Maoists agree ‘to strengthen coalition’

According to Pramod Dahal, press adviser to PM Oli, the two leaders have agreed to “strengthen the left coalition and turn the incumbent government into a national unity one”. “The two leaders were of the view that there is a need to strengthen the current coalition given the current political and social situation,” said Dahal.

Maoist Centre Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Monday held a two-hour-long meeting with Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli as part of his what the Maoist leaders described as the last-ditch effort to seek consensus on unity government.
 

Earlier in the day, the party had decided to hold “decisive negotiations” with the governing UML, the main opposition Nepali Congress and Madhes-based parties among others to forge consensus on national unity government.

Maoist Centre Spokesperson Pampha Bhusal said the party would “explore other alternatives if the efforts to forge consensus fail to bear fruits”. Earlier in the day, during a meeting of the Maoist Centre headquarters at Dahal’s residence, the party chairman had told leaders that the party would stick to the alliance “only if Oli agrees to step down”. According to Maoist leaders, Dahal, however, decided mind to give some more time to Oli after the NC refused to extend support to a national unity government.

Dahal on Monday itself had held talks with NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba.

“The party will start seeking an alternative to the Oli government if Oli fails to work in line with the commitments-both written and verbal,” said a Maoist leader.

vows Minister Rai,Minimum wage will be effective from July 16 itself,

Minister for Information and Communications Sherdhan Rai has said the minimum wage for journalists determined by the government would come into effect from July 16.

He made it clear that the government would not back out from the decision made by the Council of Ministers on May 5 fixing the minimum wage of journalists working in media houses at Rs 19,500 and employees and workers at Rs 14,400;
and of journalists working at other media institutions at Rs 14,100 and employees and workers at Rs 12,500.

A meeting of the Council of Ministers on May 5 had decided to implement the minimum wage for journalists and employees and workers at media institutions to be effective from July 16 based on the recommendation made by the Minimum
 Wage Fixation Committee nearly one year back.

The Information and Communications Minister said this while speaking in a programme of interaction entitled 'Implementation of the Minimum Wage in the Media' organised by the Minimum Wage Fixation Committee here on Monday.

"The minimum wages of the journalists would be enforced and discussions are on regarding the 11-point demands put forth by the media operators for that purpose as well," Minister Rai, who is also the government spokesman, said.

He asserted that the decision regarding the minimum wage of media persons made by the Council of Ministers was not to close down the media with small investment but for the job security of all journalists and media persons.

The Minister urged the media operators, journalists and all those concerned to extent cooperation in implementing the minimum wage rather than involving in making unnecessary comments.

President of the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) Dr Mahendra Bista stressed on strict implementation of the minimum wage in all media institutions even if it means the government having to increase the services and facilities
provided to the media.

"The physical safety and financial security of the journalists, who have played a role in institutionalising the agendas of every change and giving voice to the voiceless," he said, adding that the FNJ would not hesitate to launch a struggle in
case the minimum wage decision was not implemented in letter and spirit.

FNJ former president Dr Suresh Acharya said the implementation of the minimum wage would not be reliable unless it is published in the Nepal Gazette. He also urged the Minimum Wage Fixation Committee to also monitor the implementation
of the decision on minimum wage.

Journalist Prateek Pradhan opined that it would be difficult for the media with small investment to implement the minimum wage.

Presenting a working paper on the occasion, advocate Agni Prasad Thapaliya said implementing the minimum wage would not be a big problem if only the journalists and the media institutions who are well-informed, conscious and professional
think on this matter positively and with patience.

It has been two decades since the Minimum Wage Fixation Committee instituted as per the Working Journalist Act, 2051 (First Amendment 2064) started its work in connection to ensuring job security and professional development
of the working journalists, workers and employees working in media institutions. RSS

Causes of Gastrices

People may suffer from different types of gastric problems. There are different reasons for producing gastric signs and symptoms. Gastric trouble is not a disease but it may be a symptom indicating presence of a chronic gastric disease. The main cause of gastric trouble is insufficient secretion of pancreatic juice into the small intestine. There is loss of pancreatic enzymes that help in the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. As a result most of the food is not used properly in the body and can produce gastric trouble. Gastric trouble generally arises when there is malabsorption of the food. Gastric trouble may occur as a result of dysfunctioning of any of the digestive organ. If stomach produces large amount of acid, it may cause gastric trouble, if there is any defect in the large intestine of liver, it may produce other symptoms related to gastric trouble. Thus, disturbance in the functioning of any part of the digestive system can cause gastric trouble. Men, women and children can also suffer from gastric trouble. Gastric trouble may produce short term symptoms and can be easily treated by using home remedies or herbal remedies.

Causes of Cancer

Cancer is caused by abnormal growth of cells. Abnormal cell growth may occur in anywhere in the body.
There is no continuous division and growth of abnormal cells that lead to the cancer. Cancer cells disturb the functioning of the body parts.
Cancer may be of two types: Benign and malignant. In benign tumours, the cancer cells remain localized to one place and
they do not spread to other parts of the body whereas in malignant tumours the cancerous cells reach to different parts of the body.

 Cancer cells may travel through blood or lymphatic system to affect other body parts.
Different types of cancer have different causes. There is a normal cycle of cell growth but when there is a disturbance in the cell growth cycle,
 there is formation of group of cells that accumulate at one place and may lead to cancer.
Genetic predisposition is an important cause for cancer. There are some genes that lead to the formation of cancer cells.
 People who smoke may suffer from cancer of the lungs. Tobacco chewing may cause mouth cancer.
 Alcohol drinking is the main cause of liver cancer. Women mainly suffer from cervical cancer. Therefore, different types of cancer
 are caused by specific causes.
