PARADISE GOES DRY
Hit by an acute water shortage, residents of Banepa in Kathmandu, Nepal look forward to gifts which include pots of water! Residents of the neighbouring village of Dhulikel -- in an effort to help out their thirsty countrymen in Banepa -- send pots of water to them mainly by the local bus. The water shortage, according to municipal member K C Bhairav, has been caused by the carelessness and ineptitude of the municipal authority.
