🇳🇵 #Nepal’s grid lost 432 MW after #NepalFloods & another 358 MW after landslides hit the Kaligandaki corridor.
Yet #BalenShah govt faces a winter power crunch with over 1,100 MW of expected deficit.
Where is the #BalenShah govt's plan? @rameshore 1/
🇮🇳 #India’s electricity cooperation gives #Nepal a crucial lifeline, with 654 MW of imports approved until Dec 31.
But relying on imports is no long-term strategy. #BalenShah’s govt must turn cross-border cooperation into lasting energy security. @tikaramyatri 2/
Under #BalenShah, the #NepalFlood response sidelined elected local govt in Rasuwa & Nuwakot.
Federal agencies hogged the single-door system while urgent rescue requests went unheeded.
#NepalGenZ “change” already means slower help when #Nepal’s people are drowning.
@smadixit
🇧🇹 #Bhutan cannot preach peace & happiness while ignoring the painful legacy of around 100,000 #Lhotshampas displaced in the 1990s.
Gross National Happiness means little if an entire community’s suffering remains an uncomfortable chapter in the national story.

Big Vicenz bringing that pure Aussie-Southern European flavour! 🇦🇺🇪🇺
Bold character, rich heritage and serious style in every bite.
Sometimes, excellence speaks for itself. 👌
Bhutan’s “Kingdom of Happiness” has 30 political prisoners languishing in jail for decades.
A @UN committee found their detention unlawful, with reports of torture, poor health & even death in custody.
Is this the “happiness” #Bhutan wants the world to see? @namgayzam 1/
Prime Minister @tsheringtobgay is promoting Gelephu Mindfulness City while political prisoners languish in #Bhutan’s jails.
Before selling the world a vision of “mindfulness” and “harmony,” Bhutan must show some humanity: FREE THE 30 POLITICAL PRISONERS! @Brent_Huffman 2/
🇳🇵 #Nepal's Madheshi youth don’t need lectures about their history; they need a future in their own homeland.
Under #BalenShah, where is the concrete roadmap for employment, industrialisation & cross-border trade?
Nepal cannot build prosperity on hashtags.
@Kishore_chandra
🇳🇵 #Nepal’s workers don’t need #BalenShah’s speeches; they need insurance, pensions & workplace protection.
If millions remain outside social security, what is his govt doing for the people who keep Nepal running?
@ThapaRUmesh
From jungle warfare to coastal operations and drone tactics, 🇮🇳🤝🇦🇺 Exercise AUSTRAHIND 2026 is sharpening the combat readiness and interoperability of Indian & Australian troops.
It builds mutual trust and strengthens a defence partnership vital to regional security.
🇳🇵 @UNICEF says #Nepal is off track to end child marriage by 2030, with 28% of women aged 20–24 married before 18.
#BalenShah’s govt must turn promises into protection.
A “new Nepal” means little if thousands of girls still lose their childhoods.
@basantaplp
Gold seizures have dropped from 60 kg to 21 kg, yet alleged Chinese links keep raising questions.
#BalenShah’s govt must expose the smuggling networks and show results.
If enforcement cannot stop these routes, who is really in control of #Nepal’s borders?
@gaunkomanchhey
. #India gave the Dalai Lama refuge in 1959. Now #India, #Nepal & #Bhutan must defend Buddhist religious autonomy alongside other democracies.
No foreign govt should decide who leads a faith.
Protect spiritual freedom before political control takes root. @SaveTibetOrg 2/
When political ideology turns every development project into a battlefield, even a tree becomes a tool for outrage.
Environmental protection matters, but endless obstruction and exaggerated victimhood won’t build a country’s future. 🌳
Bad condition of #Nepal’s roads.
Nearly 100m of Prithvi Highway cracked, 20m sank, traffic halted.
#BalenShah chases #China alignments while basic highways collapse under his govt.
Progress? Just deeper potholes.
@gbudhathoki
While ordinary Nepalis struggle with rising costs and limited jobs, #BalenShah’s govt proposes vehicle loans up to Rs 60 lakh for top bureaucrats, with taxpayers covering all interest.
Is this governance for the people or privilege for the powerful?
#NepalGovernment
@tikaramyatri
🇳🇵 #BalenShah’s govt faces protests over Ani Choying Drolma’s Lumbini appointment, with questions raised about her citizenship & reported foreign funds. Why push ahead without addressing public concerns?
Is this the transparency #Nepal was promised? @grpokharel 1/
From Saudi nominee Giribahadur Sunar’s violence & bribery links to Malaysia’s rejected Chudamani Kharel fraud audio & Japan PR scandal, #BalenShah’s appointments keep landing in controversy.
Selection criteria?
Due diligence?
Still missing in #Nepal. @BimalendraNidhi 2/
