Five people have died so far trying to put out the fires that have been raging since January, said Sundar Sharma, a senior official of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority.
Wild fires were burning in at least 60 places across 22 of Nepal’s 77 administrative districts, he said, adding to the growing levels of pollution across the country that lies nestled between India and the Tibet region of China.

Jamshedpur: After diesel prices touched Rs 84 a litre, long distance bus operators of Jamshedpur said they are likely to hike the ticket fares by around 30% in order to remain in business after being able to operate following months of lockdown.
Convenor of Jamshedpur Bus Operators Association (JBOA) Upendra Kumar Sharma said, “To ensure a uniform hike in the fare across the state, a formal round of consultation is underway and the hike will be announced simultaneously.”
Noting that they are hugely hit by the steep hike in fuel prices, bus operators said ever since lockdown they have been facing financial problems. “The cost of the diesel in January 2020 was Rs 62 per litre and a year later, it is above Rs 84. There is no sign of any relief in sight either,” said a functionary of JBOA, Uday Pratap Singh.
