Venus Sets Today: What to Do and What to Avoid

Published about 3 hours ago

Venus is setting in the west starting Wednesday afternoon at 1:40 PM and will rise again in the east on November 11 at 12:49 AM. According to astrology, Venus is considered the significator of wealth, knowledge, marriage, love, and auspicious works. Consequently, new and auspicious ceremonies are avoided during this combustion period. However, astrologers clarify that regular daily rituals, deity worship, and major festival celebrations like Dashain, including receiving Tika and Jamara, performing Shraddha, and tarpana, are not restricted and can be performed without any scriptural obstacles. Nevertheless, activities like house warming, weddings, sacred thread ceremonies, and the purchase of new vehicles should be avoided during this period as the planet's positive influence is temporarily weakened.

Power Restored in Mustang and Annapurna After Repairs

Power Restored in Mustang and Annapurna After Repairs

Published about 3 hours ago

Electricity supply has been successfully restored in Mustang district and Annapurna rural municipality of Myagdi following extensive repairs to transmission and distribution lines damaged by floods and landslides in late September. The natural disaster caused by heavy rainfall from Ashwin 8 to 11 severely impacted the region, destroying four towers of the 220kV Dana-Khurkot transmission line along with several poles and wires. Due to immediate difficulties with the Dana substation, the Nepal Electricity Authority's Tatopani distribution center implemented an alternative arrangement by repairing the 33kV transmission line from Milanchok through Dana to Kowang in Mustang. Power supply resumed in Mustang on Ashwin 24, while Myagdi has also been largely reconnected. This restoration has revived communication services and eased the daily lives of local residents, although several major hydropower projects in the area remain non-operational.

As the Dashain festival begins, security has been significantly tightened in the Nawalpur district to prevent potential crimes and risks. The District Police Office reported that surveillance has been scaled up across eastern and western transit points, particularly at the Gaindakot checkpost along the East-West Highway. To curb the illegal transport of explosives, drugs, and other illicit activities during the festive season, police conducted special vehicle checks on Tuesday utilizing trained K9 (police dogs). Information Officer Anil Pandit stated that surprise checks and dynamic policing methods are being deployed across the district. Given Nawalpur's geographical sensitivity as Gandaki province's only district bordering India, authorities have implemented a robust, festival-focused security plan to ensure public safety.

The responsibility for constructing the iconic cable-stayed bridge over the Narayani River, connecting Narayangarh and Gaindakot, has been officially transferred from the Bharatpur Road Division to the Pokhara Bridge Sector. Following a secretary-level decision made on September 24, all project-related documents were handed over on Tuesday. Construction work on the foundation was initiated on the Chitwan side prior to the monsoon season. Although the floods did not cause major damage to the bridge structure itself, the contractor's camp on the Gaindakot side was affected. Construction is scheduled to resume immediately after the Dashain festival under the supervision of Tundi Construction Pvt. Ltd.

During special traffic checks implemented for the Dashain and Tihar festivals, the Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office took action against 18 public vehicle drivers for driving under the influence of alcohol (MAPSE) and drugs (LAPSE).

Survivors Can't Watch Bhote Koshi Flood Videos

Published about 8 hours ago

Survivors of the devastating August 26 (Bhadra 10) Bhote Koshi flood in Nuwakot, Nepal, refuse to watch the terrifying videos they filmed themselves, as the footage triggers severe psychological trauma and painful memories. Navayug Shrestha and Bhimsen Thapa narrowly escaped the massive flash flood that swept through Trishuli bazar, destroying settlements and infrastructure. The disaster caused widespread devastation, leaving over 1,450 dead, 6,000 missing, and thousands of homes destroyed across districts including Nuwakot, Rasuwa, and Dhading. Despite losing family members and property—such as Shrestha's mother being missing and Thapa's house and banana farm washed away—both survivors continue actively engaging in rescue, relief, and community support efforts. The viral videos they captured serve as haunting reminders of the sudden catastrophe, leaving survivors unable to revisit the footage due to the immense grief it evokes.
