“The flood in the Sunsari district caused by the Koshi River is not just the problem of the denizens of Sunsari alone, it is indeed a national crisis…if we will not be able to tackle it nationally, we will talk to the international community as regards the solution to the problems in a permanent basis”.

Prime Minster Dahal made these remarks at a program organized in Ineruwa the district headquarters of Sunsari---who flew to Sunsari to inspect the ongoing relief and the rescue programs.
Upendra Yadav, the Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum president had accompanied Prime Minister Dahal. Mr. Yadav was spotted on T.V. asking several questions in Maithili language to the flood victims.
Similarly, the Maoists party has decided to deploy the YCL (Young Communist League) cadres in the flood affected areas to help the government machinery.

I am agree with Rajeev - (August 23, 2008), but those treaty with India are very sensitive for Nepal and its natural resources, especially water resources. It is necessary to understand all us, Kosi flood is not natural disaster, it is man made disaster where India ignores to maintain the dams and spurs.
it is a natural disester and i hope it will make a consicious all of the world.where a great dam
Politicians only raise their voices when it comes to unfair treatise and border problems with India. Why isn't anyone raising voices regarding Mount Everest. I have heard and read that half of the peak of Mount Everest belongs to China. It was King Mahendra handed over half of the peak to China. Originally
Nepal owned the peak, now it is not so. The boundary
with china goes right through the peak, which I
think China has manipulated the palace in doing so. Why aren't anyone shouting about this? It's easy pointing fingers at India. How about China also?
The problem of Koshi flood has to be solved permanently and I am hopeful for what PM Prachanda has said. There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.
As we all know that India has illegally constructed dams controlling the natural flow of rivers of Nepal, we should raise a voice against India. If we don't, then there is no doubt that our Terai region will turn into a huge aquarium as the experts say.
YCL!!!!!!
I thought they were dissolved ???????
....
india is responsible for the loss of life and this flood devastation due to her ill administration and must be made to pay for this
We all need to support & appreciate the newly-elected prime-minister Mr. Pushpa Kamal Dahal's statement regarding the Koshi Agreement which is unacceptable. Due to India's negligence, a lot of nepali lost their lives & property. India need to look the Koshi Agreement seriously and it is responsible for loss of lives & property.
This is what you call New Nepal! well done Mr.PM and Mr. President for speaking out against India!! All Nepalese people are behind you...
The Maoists wish to revise the uneven treaties of 1954 with India has presented itself in the wake of the flood in Koshi. This unfortunate calamity is but excellent opportunity for the new government to prove that it can deliver what it promises. It will not be far-fetched to state that a lot will be revealed about the Maoist character and competence depending on how they tackle this complex situation. And for the Nepali society it will be rare early glimpse as to what can be expected from the Maoist. We may not be able to defeat or ignore the southern force but every decision to fight against their high-handedness will be well received.
Dear Prachanda: At least you spoke something regarding the encroachment of India on Nepalese territory and unequal treaties. Please do something for the betterment of motherland so that our future generation might be proud of having you as Nepal’s prime minister. From here your actual capability and responsibility starts.
india cannot be a good neighbours country to any neighbours country.it always plays role like' dudh ko sachhi biralo'
for sure all the treaties have to be reviewed for fairness. Hope you do the job properly Prachanda!
Just bomb the whole dam!
i always thought india was a good neioghbor alas my dreams are shattered!

i agree all these stuffs but before signing the treaty why didnt the ministers think twice abt their own country?now they are all crying crocodiles tears. by building those dams lots of nepals fertile land has turned into a lake,water reservoir now after the flood theres the answer for indian govt,now i hope indian govt realised the effects of the dam and nepalese as well.thats it from my side..jai nepal...our country is my pride though ministers has sold it to india where innocent nepalese citizens are struggling so fight for ur rights,no one will come and say to you,hey here is ur right come and get it ,i have brought for you. thanks
