Sports event aimed at killing a myth

SUNDAR KHANAL
KATHMANDU, Mar 10: That people who have undergone kidney transplants and their donors could go about their lives as actively as any healthy person is not yet an accepted notion in Nepali society. This, however, will be challenged by Nepal´s first ever Transplant Sports Event scheduled for April 14.

Surendra Bahadur KC, 60, who has been jogging for nearly two hours every morning after receiving a kidney transplant, is also participating in the event. “Exercise for me is not only a way to cope with side effects of post-transplantation medication but also to enjoy a vigorous life,” he said.

  COMMENTARY Finding strength in numbers?  
  BY OLIVER HOUSDEN  
 
In Republica last month, Prashant Jha’s excellent piece detailed the genesis, evolution and impact the Tharuhut Struggle Committee (TSC)-MJF (Madhesi Janatantrik Forum)-Nepal alliance would have on future of Terai politics.

In conclusion, Jha noted, “While the impact and even sustainability of the Upendra-Laxman pact has yet to be seen, the alliance will force other national, Madhesi and Tharu outfits to reassess their assumptions and calculations.”
