	February 8: The government has revoked the contract with Italian company CMC di Ravenna for the construction of Melamchi Water Supply Project.</p>
<p>
	According to Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS), the executive director of the project, Surya Raj Kandel, confirmed Thursday (February 7) that the contract agreement signed with CMC has been revoked.</p>
<p>
	CMC di Ravenna had unilaterally pulled out of the much-hyped project about two months ago, reportedly due to the financial crisis of the company. Following the decision, the completion of the work had remained uncertain. RSS reported that the national pride project has been pushed to further uncertainties with the cancellation of agreement.</p>
<p>
	Kandel told RSS that the contractor company unilaterally declared its disassociation from the project just when the project was about to complete.</p>
<p>
	Earlier on January 20, the government had written to CMC seeking its response within 14 days on why it should not revoke the contract for leaving the project site without prior notice. However, RSS reported that the government did not receive any official response within the deadline despite its efforts to continue the project with the same contractor firm.</p>
<p>
	Under such circumstance, the government can withhold the bank guarantee amount of the company which is said to be Rs 2.65 billion. However, the company reportedly has to pay far more amount to the sub-contractors in Nepal.</p>

	February 7: Nepal&rsquo;s trade treaty with India is in need of substantial revisions in order for Nepal to be able to address its ballooning trade deficit with its biggest trade partner, experts suggested during a recent interaction held in Kathmandu.</p>
<p>
	Trade experts, industrialists and former policymakers expressed this view at the interaction on the topic Nepal-India Trade Treaty: Opportunities and Challenges, jointly organised by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies and South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE) on February 5. According to the organisers, this programme was organised to gather inputs from stakeholders at a time when the Government of Nepal is in the process of negotiating a review of the trade treaty with the Indian government.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Making his presentation on Nepal-India Trade Treaty: Some Avenues for Review, Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of SAWTEE, said that there are many issues that need to be discussed and revised in the treaty in view of the facts such as a burgeoning trade deficit, failure to participate in value chains, the presence of non-tariff barriers, preference erosion, the adverse impact of the treaty on producers of primary agricultural goods, inadequate trade facilitation measures and lack of or slow targeted support for building trade capacities.</p>
<p>
	He further added that the government needs to put forward the proposal to remove the provision of tariff rate quotas on vegetable fats, acrylic yarn, copper and zinc oxide, waive Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) for the products produced by small units, allow Nepal to import third country goods from India for specific purposes, and also remove the time-bound nature of the trade treaty to ensure greater certainty.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Shekhar Golchha, senior vice president of the Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), said that Nepal has not been able to promote its exports as the cost of doing business is very high and the business environment was also plagued by political instability and energy crisis, among others, but now that these issues have been resolved to a certain extent, the focus now needs to be on developing infrastructure at the border areas to promote export.</p>
<p>
	Hari Bhakta Sharma, president of the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI), said that the treaty needs a paradigm shift with revisions as it has only benefited India.</p>
<p>
	Former secretary Purushottam Ojha said that some of the favourable provisions of the treaty remain unimplemented. Such provisions include a partial rebate of excise duty on exports by Nepali medium and large firms that can prove that their cost of production is higher than that of their counterpart firms in India; a pledge by India to help Nepal build its capacity concerning standards and testing; local-level committee comprising local stakeholders in border areas to address trade frictions. He urged the government to work out ways to have such provisions implemented.</p>
<p>
	Participants stressed the fact that the treaty needs to be reviewed before renewing. They further added that Nepal needs to build its strength and capacity in order to promote its exports.</p>

	February 7: At a time when the government is moving ahead with its plan for the construction of an international airport in Nijgadh, environmental activists have appealed to the government to build the airport elsewhere arguing that the construction of the airport will have negative impact on the natural environment and wildlife of Nijgadh.</p>
<p>
	Environmental activists say that said that the environment impact assessment (EIA) of Nijgadh lacks extensive study of the area. Therefore, the environmental activists and the other stakeholders strongly appealed to the government during a press meet held on Wednesday, February 6, to conduct environment impact assessment (EIA) in other feasible areas.</p>
<p>
	Environmental activists claimed that it is worthless to construct a multi-million rupees airport that would affect countless wildlife and thousands of trees spread across 8,046 hectors of the rich natural forest renowned as Char Kose Jhadi in Province 2.</p>
<p>
	They stated that the Char Kose Jhadi, which is the national pride of the country, will be destroyed by the big national project. Instead, they suggested that Murtiya, which is 33 km east of the proposed site, can be appropriate for the airport. The said that Murtiya does not have forest areas and is far from the hills as well as the Indian border.</p>
<p>
	Kapil Chitrakar, an expert on forest and wildlife, said that they have submitted petitions to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoCTCA), the Ministry of Forest and Environment and the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Office. He said that 141 different critics, forest experts, journalists, entrepreneurs, industrialists, environmental activists among others have signed the petitions.</p>
<p>
	Dr Dwarika Dhungel, an analyst and former secretary said, &ldquo;We are not standing against the developmental projects of the country which are indeed required for reliving traffic congestion at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). However, the project should be carried out in an eco-friendly manner. Deforestation of Nijgadh forest which protects over 500 species of birds, 22 species of rare vegetation including shorea robusta (Sal) tree and 23 varieties of mammals will adversely affect the environment.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
	According to environmental activist Prabhu Budathoki , the deforestation of the Chure range will lead to desertification of Terai and Madhes affecting the livelihood of the people. Likewise, environmental activist Chanda Rana said Nijgadh&rsquo;s EIA resembles the format of hydropower project. Rana also pleaded the government to conduct EIA for feasibility of the Murtiya instead of Nijgadh.</p>
<p>
	The council of minister had allocated area in Nijgadh for the construction of the airport on March 13, 2015.</p>

	February 8: The government has revoked the contract with Italian company CMC di Ravenna for the construction of Melamchi Water Supply Project.</p>
<p>
	According to Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS), the executive director of the project, Surya Raj Kandel, confirmed Thursday (February 7) that the contract agreement signed with CMC has been revoked.</p>
<p>
	CMC di Ravenna had unilaterally pulled out of the much-hyped project about two months ago, reportedly due to the financial crisis of the company. Following the decision, the completion of the work had remained uncertain. RSS reported that the national pride project has been pushed to further uncertainties with the cancellation of agreement.</p>
<p>
	Kandel told RSS that the contractor company unilaterally declared its disassociation from the project just when the project was about to complete.</p>
<p>
	Earlier on January 20, the government had written to CMC seeking its response within 14 days on why it should not revoke the contract for leaving the project site without prior notice. However, RSS reported that the government did not receive any official response within the deadline despite its efforts to continue the project with the same contractor firm.</p>
<p>
	Under such circumstance, the government can withhold the bank guarantee amount of the company which is said to be Rs 2.65 billion. However, the company reportedly has to pay far more amount to the sub-contractors in Nepal.</p>

	February 8: The Jufal airport in Dolpa had to be shut on Thursday due to accumulation of snow on the runway.

<p>
	The state-owned news agency reported that thick snow piled up on the runway has obstructed the landing while extremely poor visibility has affected the flights to and from the airport.</p>
<p>
	Bal Kumar Sharma, chief of the civil aviation office in Jufal, said there were slim chances of resuming the air services for a few days. The snowfall and chilling cold have created difficulties for the locals as well.</p>
<p>
	The same scenario has been seen in Jumla, Humla and Mugu districts as well.</p>
<p>

	February 7: Nepal&rsquo;s trade treaty with India is in need of substantial revisions in order for Nepal to be able to address its ballooning trade deficit with its biggest trade partner, experts suggested during a recent interaction held in Kathmandu.</p>
<p>
	Trade experts, industrialists and former policymakers expressed this view at the interaction on the topic Nepal-India Trade Treaty: Opportunities and Challenges, jointly organised by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies and South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE) on February 5. According to the organisers, this programme was organised to gather inputs from stakeholders at a time when the Government of Nepal is in the process of negotiating a review of the trade treaty with the Indian government.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Making his presentation on Nepal-India Trade Treaty: Some Avenues for Review, Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of SAWTEE, said that there are many issues that need to be discussed and revised in the treaty in view of the facts such as a burgeoning trade deficit, failure to participate in value chains, the presence of non-tariff barriers, preference erosion, the adverse impact of the treaty on producers of primary agricultural goods, inadequate trade facilitation measures and lack of or slow targeted support for building trade capacities.</p>
<p>
	He further added that the government needs to put forward the proposal to remove the provision of tariff rate quotas on vegetable fats, acrylic yarn, copper and zinc oxide, waive Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) for the products produced by small units, allow Nepal to import third country goods from India for specific purposes, and also remove the time-bound nature of the trade treaty to ensure greater certainty.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Shekhar Golchha, senior vice president of the Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), said that Nepal has not been able to promote its exports as the cost of doing business is very high and the business environment was also plagued by political instability and energy crisis, among others, but now that these issues have been resolved to a certain extent, the focus now needs to be on developing infrastructure at the border areas to promote export.</p>
<p>
	Hari Bhakta Sharma, president of the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI), said that the treaty needs a paradigm shift with revisions as it has only benefited India.</p>
<p>
	Former secretary Purushottam Ojha said that some of the favourable provisions of the treaty remain unimplemented. Such provisions include a partial rebate of excise duty on exports by Nepali medium and large firms that can prove that their cost of production is higher than that of their counterpart firms in India; a pledge by India to help Nepal build its capacity concerning standards and testing; local-level committee comprising local stakeholders in border areas to address trade frictions. He urged the government to work out ways to have such provisions implemented.</p>
<p>
	Participants stressed the fact that the treaty needs to be reviewed before renewing. They further added that Nepal needs to build its strength and capacity in order to promote its exports.</p>

	February 7: At a time when the government is moving ahead with its plan for the construction of an international airport in Nijgadh, environmental activists have appealed to the government to build the airport elsewhere arguing that the construction of the airport will have negative impact on the natural environment and wildlife of Nijgadh.</p>
<p>
	Environmental activists say that said that the environment impact assessment (EIA) of Nijgadh lacks extensive study of the area. Therefore, the environmental activists and the other stakeholders strongly appealed to the government during a press meet held on Wednesday, February 6, to conduct environment impact assessment (EIA) in other feasible areas.</p>
<p>
	Environmental activists claimed that it is worthless to construct a multi-million rupees airport that would affect countless wildlife and thousands of trees spread across 8,046 hectors of the rich natural forest renowned as Char Kose Jhadi in Province 2.</p>
<p>
	They stated that the Char Kose Jhadi, which is the national pride of the country, will be destroyed by the big national project. Instead, they suggested that Murtiya, which is 33 km east of the proposed site, can be appropriate for the airport. The said that Murtiya does not have forest areas and is far from the hills as well as the Indian border.</p>
<p>
	Kapil Chitrakar, an expert on forest and wildlife, said that they have submitted petitions to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoCTCA), the Ministry of Forest and Environment and the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Office. He said that 141 different critics, forest experts, journalists, entrepreneurs, industrialists, environmental activists among others have signed the petitions.</p>
<p>
	Dr Dwarika Dhungel, an analyst and former secretary said, &ldquo;We are not standing against the developmental projects of the country which are indeed required for reliving traffic congestion at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). However, the project should be carried out in an eco-friendly manner. Deforestation of Nijgadh forest which protects over 500 species of birds, 22 species of rare vegetation including shorea robusta (Sal) tree and 23 varieties of mammals will adversely affect the environment.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
	According to environmental activist Prabhu Budathoki , the deforestation of the Chure range will lead to desertification of Terai and Madhes affecting the livelihood of the people. Likewise, environmental activist Chanda Rana said Nijgadh&rsquo;s EIA resembles the format of hydropower project. Rana also pleaded the government to conduct EIA for feasibility of the Murtiya instead of Nijgadh.</p>
<p>
	The council of minister had allocated area in Nijgadh for the construction of the airport on March 13, 2015.</p>

	February 8: The government has revoked the contract with Italian company CMC di Ravenna for the construction of Melamchi Water Supply Project.</p>
<p>
	According to Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS), the executive director of the project, Surya Raj Kandel, confirmed Thursday (February 7) that the contract agreement signed with CMC has been revoked.</p>
<p>
	CMC di Ravenna had unilaterally pulled out of the much-hyped project about two months ago, reportedly due to the financial crisis of the company. Following the decision, the completion of the work had remained uncertain. RSS reported that the national pride project has been pushed to further uncertainties with the cancellation of agreement.</p>
<p>
	Kandel told RSS that the contractor company unilaterally declared its disassociation from the project just when the project was about to complete.</p>
<p>
	Earlier on January 20, the government had written to CMC seeking its response within 14 days on why it should not revoke the contract for leaving the project site without prior notice. However, RSS reported that the government did not receive any official response within the deadline despite its efforts to continue the project with the same contractor firm.</p>
<p>
	Under such circumstance, the government can withhold the bank guarantee amount of the company which is said to be Rs 2.65 billion. However, the company reportedly has to pay far more amount to the sub-contractors in Nepal.</p>

	February 7: Nepal&rsquo;s trade treaty with India is in need of substantial revisions in order for Nepal to be able to address its ballooning trade deficit with its biggest trade partner, experts suggested during a recent interaction held in Kathmandu.</p>
<p>
	Trade experts, industrialists and former policymakers expressed this view at the interaction on the topic Nepal-India Trade Treaty: Opportunities and Challenges, jointly organised by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies and South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE) on February 5. According to the organisers, this programme was organised to gather inputs from stakeholders at a time when the Government of Nepal is in the process of negotiating a review of the trade treaty with the Indian government.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Making his presentation on Nepal-India Trade Treaty: Some Avenues for Review, Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of SAWTEE, said that there are many issues that need to be discussed and revised in the treaty in view of the facts such as a burgeoning trade deficit, failure to participate in value chains, the presence of non-tariff barriers, preference erosion, the adverse impact of the treaty on producers of primary agricultural goods, inadequate trade facilitation measures and lack of or slow targeted support for building trade capacities.</p>
<p>
	He further added that the government needs to put forward the proposal to remove the provision of tariff rate quotas on vegetable fats, acrylic yarn, copper and zinc oxide, waive Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) for the products produced by small units, allow Nepal to import third country goods from India for specific purposes, and also remove the time-bound nature of the trade treaty to ensure greater certainty.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Shekhar Golchha, senior vice president of the Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), said that Nepal has not been able to promote its exports as the cost of doing business is very high and the business environment was also plagued by political instability and energy crisis, among others, but now that these issues have been resolved to a certain extent, the focus now needs to be on developing infrastructure at the border areas to promote export.</p>
<p>
	Hari Bhakta Sharma, president of the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI), said that the treaty needs a paradigm shift with revisions as it has only benefited India.</p>
<p>
	Former secretary Purushottam Ojha said that some of the favourable provisions of the treaty remain unimplemented. Such provisions include a partial rebate of excise duty on exports by Nepali medium and large firms that can prove that their cost of production is higher than that of their counterpart firms in India; a pledge by India to help Nepal build its capacity concerning standards and testing; local-level committee comprising local stakeholders in border areas to address trade frictions. He urged the government to work out ways to have such provisions implemented.</p>
<p>
	Participants stressed the fact that the treaty needs to be reviewed before renewing. They further added that Nepal needs to build its strength and capacity in order to promote its exports.</p>

	February 7: At a time when the government is moving ahead with its plan for the construction of an international airport in Nijgadh, environmental activists have appealed to the government to build the airport elsewhere arguing that the construction of the airport will have negative impact on the natural environment and wildlife of Nijgadh.</p>
<p>
	Environmental activists say that said that the environment impact assessment (EIA) of Nijgadh lacks extensive study of the area. Therefore, the environmental activists and the other stakeholders strongly appealed to the government during a press meet held on Wednesday, February 6, to conduct environment impact assessment (EIA) in other feasible areas.</p>
<p>
	Environmental activists claimed that it is worthless to construct a multi-million rupees airport that would affect countless wildlife and thousands of trees spread across 8,046 hectors of the rich natural forest renowned as Char Kose Jhadi in Province 2.</p>
<p>
	They stated that the Char Kose Jhadi, which is the national pride of the country, will be destroyed by the big national project. Instead, they suggested that Murtiya, which is 33 km east of the proposed site, can be appropriate for the airport. The said that Murtiya does not have forest areas and is far from the hills as well as the Indian border.</p>
<p>
	Kapil Chitrakar, an expert on forest and wildlife, said that they have submitted petitions to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoCTCA), the Ministry of Forest and Environment and the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Office. He said that 141 different critics, forest experts, journalists, entrepreneurs, industrialists, environmental activists among others have signed the petitions.</p>
<p>
	Dr Dwarika Dhungel, an analyst and former secretary said, &ldquo;We are not standing against the developmental projects of the country which are indeed required for reliving traffic congestion at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). However, the project should be carried out in an eco-friendly manner. Deforestation of Nijgadh forest which protects over 500 species of birds, 22 species of rare vegetation including shorea robusta (Sal) tree and 23 varieties of mammals will adversely affect the environment.&rdquo;</p>

	According to environmental activist Prabhu Budathoki , the deforestation of the Chure range will lead to desertification of Terai and Madhes affecting the livelihood of the people. Likewise, environmental activist Chanda Rana said Nijgadh&rsquo;s EIA resembles the format of hydropower project. Rana also pleaded the government to conduct EIA for feasibility of the Murtiya instead of Nijgadh.</p>
<p>
	The council of minister had allocated area in Nijgadh for the construction of the airport on March 13, 2015.</p>

	February 8: The government has revoked the contract with Italian company CMC di Ravenna for the construction of Melamchi Water Supply Project.</p>
<p>
	According to Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS), the executive director of the project, Surya Raj Kandel, confirmed Thursday (February 7) that the contract agreement signed with CMC has been revoked.</p>
<p>
	CMC di Ravenna had unilaterally pulled out of the much-hyped project about two months ago, reportedly due to the financial crisis of the company. Following the decision, the completion of the work had remained uncertain. RSS reported that the national pride project has been pushed to further uncertainties with the cancellation of agreement.</p>
<p>
	Kandel told RSS that the contractor company unilaterally declared its disassociation from the project just when the project was about to complete.</p>
<p>
	Earlier on January 20, the government had written to CMC seeking its response within 14 days on why it should not revoke the contract for leaving the project site without prior notice. However, RSS reported that the government did not receive any official response within the deadline despite its efforts to continue the project with the same contractor firm.</p>
<p>
	Under such circumstance, the government can withhold the bank guarantee amount of the company which is said to be Rs 2.65 billion. However, the company reportedly has to pay far more amount to the sub-contractors in Nepal.</p>

	February 7: Nepal&rsquo;s trade treaty with India is in need of substantial revisions in order for Nepal to be able to address its ballooning trade deficit with its biggest trade partner, experts suggested during a recent interaction held in Kathmandu.</p>
<p>
	Trade experts, industrialists and former policymakers expressed this view at the interaction on the topic Nepal-India Trade Treaty: Opportunities and Challenges, jointly organised by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies and South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE) on February 5. According to the organisers, this programme was organised to gather inputs from stakeholders at a time when the Government of Nepal is in the process of negotiating a review of the trade treaty with the Indian government.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Making his presentation on Nepal-India Trade Treaty: Some Avenues for Review, Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of SAWTEE, said that there are many issues that need to be discussed and revised in the treaty in view of the facts such as a burgeoning trade deficit, failure to participate in value chains, the presence of non-tariff barriers, preference erosion, the adverse impact of the treaty on producers of primary agricultural goods, inadequate trade facilitation measures and lack of or slow targeted support for building trade capacities.</p>
<p>
	He further added that the government needs to put forward the proposal to remove the provision of tariff rate quotas on vegetable fats, acrylic yarn, copper and zinc oxide, waive Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) for the products produced by small units, allow Nepal to import third country goods from India for specific purposes, and also remove the time-bound nature of the trade treaty to ensure greater certainty.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Shekhar Golchha, senior vice president of the Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), said that Nepal has not been able to promote its exports as the cost of doing business is very high and the business environment was also plagued by political instability and energy crisis, among others, but now that these issues have been resolved to a certain extent, the focus now needs to be on developing infrastructure at the border areas to promote export.</p>
<p>
	Hari Bhakta Sharma, president of the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI), said that the treaty needs a paradigm shift with revisions as it has only benefited India.</p>
<p>
	Former secretary Purushottam Ojha said that some of the favourable provisions of the treaty remain unimplemented. Such provisions include a partial rebate of excise duty on exports by Nepali medium and large firms that can prove that their cost of production is higher than that of their counterpart firms in India; a pledge by India to help Nepal build its capacity concerning standards and testing; local-level committee comprising local stakeholders in border areas to address trade frictions. He urged the government to work out ways to have such provisions implemented.</p>
<p>
	Participants stressed the fact that the treaty needs to be reviewed before renewing. They further added that Nepal needs to build its strength and capacity in order to promote its exports.</p>

	February 7: At a time when the government is moving ahead with its plan for the construction of an international airport in Nijgadh, environmental activists have appealed to the government to build the airport elsewhere arguing that the construction of the airport will have negative impact on the natural environment and wildlife of Nijgadh.</p>
<p>
	Environmental activists say that said that the environment impact assessment (EIA) of Nijgadh lacks extensive study of the area. Therefore, the environmental activists and the other stakeholders strongly appealed to the government during a press meet held on Wednesday, February 6, to conduct environment impact assessment (EIA) in other feasible areas.</p>
<p>
	Environmental activists claimed that it is worthless to construct a multi-million rupees airport that would affect countless wildlife and thousands of trees spread across 8,046 hectors of the rich natural forest renowned as Char Kose Jhadi in Province 2.</p>
<p>
	They stated that the Char Kose Jhadi, which is the national pride of the country, will be destroyed by the big national project. Instead, they suggested that Murtiya, which is 33 km east of the proposed site, can be appropriate for the airport. The said that Murtiya does not have forest areas and is far from the hills as well as the Indian border.</p>
<p>
	Kapil Chitrakar, an expert on forest and wildlife, said that they have submitted petitions to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoCTCA), the Ministry of Forest and Environment and the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Office. He said that 141 different critics, forest experts, journalists, entrepreneurs, industrialists, environmental activists among others have signed the petitions.</p>
<p>
	Dr Dwarika Dhungel, an analyst and former secretary said, &ldquo;We are not standing against the developmental projects of the country which are indeed required for reliving traffic congestion at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). However, the project should be carried out in an eco-friendly manner. Deforestation of Nijgadh forest which protects over 500 species of birds, 22 species of rare vegetation including shorea robusta (Sal) tree and 23 varieties of mammals will adversely affect the environment.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
	According to environmental activist Prabhu Budathoki , the deforestation of the Chure range will lead to desertification of Terai and Madhes affecting the livelihood of the people. Likewise, environmental activist Chanda Rana said Nijgadh&rsquo;s EIA resembles the format of hydropower project. Rana also pleaded the government to conduct EIA for feasibility of the Murtiya instead of Nijgadh.</p>
<p>
	The council of minister had allocated area in Nijgadh for the construction of the airport on March 13, 2015.</p>
