EARTHQUAKE DEVASTATES ENTIRE NATION



By Sanjog Rai


Only a fraction of Kathmandu left

KATHMANDU—Three days have passed since the devastating earthquake hit Nepal on Friday, wiping out most parts of Kathmandu. The magnitude 9.3 earthquake, which lasted nearly 12 minutes, is being called the deadliest disaster in recent history by the international media.

While initial estimates had put the death toll at 52,034, the latest analysis complied by the United Nations (UN) lists a total of 531,495 people lost, including 231,149 dead and 83,234 missing.

Nearly 82.5% of the buildings in Kathmandu have been reported completely damaged.

With the capital's food supplies running scarce, huge amounts of food are currently being airlifted from neighboring countries, including India and China. Once in Kathmandu, they are being distributed through local agencies that are still functioning.

Already 3,500 volunteers have arrived in Kathmandu for search and rescue missions that could go on for months. Another 8,200 volunteers are also being arranged by 15 countries for similar missions; they are expected to reach Kathmandu by Monday.

More than US$1 billion in humanitarian aid and reconstruction have also been pledged by several countries. The United States, on top of its US$120 million contribution, has also promised 15 country musicians to raise funds.

Currently taking refuge in an unknown military base, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala has released a statement requesting citizens to "keep fighting and struggling", and that "help will come".

Despite being horribly disfigured from the earthquake, several local artistes—including Robin & the New Revolution, 1974 A.D., Madzone, Nirnaya NSK, Nepsydaz, and Mukti & the Revivals—have also shown incredible courage by agreeing to perform at Tundikhel on Wednesday "to raise the morale of our people". The concert is being dubbed, "The gathering of the most hideous since the Rolling Stones".

However, death toll is still on the rise. Hundreds of survivors are dying of treatable diseases like flu and infections each day due to mismanagement of funds and resources by local agencies.

A report by the American embassy also suggests that the number of missing may be actually lower, with half of the number simply being added from the number of Nepalis hiding out in the U.S.

Rival political groups have also come together with a message: "We now realize that beyond all the bloodshed and bureaucracy, we are all quite f-----".

Can any body explain why kantipur posted such a freaking news!!!
I though they were one of the best publishers....

well. probably you dont know SANJOG RAI the writer of this article.

He writes for iconoclastic times. He writes satirical articles. so chill out.

People it says "Unreliable sources, questionable quotes, misguided scoops and psychedelic reporters"

I think it's to be taken lightly. Lighten up!

How kantipur can post this fake news !!

What really went wrong with Kantipur Publications? Hijacked, or it is Gaijatra day? It should not be there without a slight hint to fictional writing?

This is yellow journalism. how can kantipuronline play with nepali people's feeling. i was so scared when i read the above article. this is totally totally rediculous. bastards!

please read the title of the column Iconoclastic Times..........unreliable sources, questionable quotes, misguided scoops.........the column is intended for fun.......
i remember a column in the Sun magazine like this....

This must be a idea of Joke from a Sicko mind. Why on earth anyone will even think about such thing....... even as a joke!!

Tomorrow when real EQ strikes, this can turn out to be real, and such things can not be joke. There should be some sort of sanity from big publishing house, at least it should state somewhere that it is for joke or for fun. If it does not tell or hint, then it hurts, and in long run KOL is not trusted by people.

KOL recently did not report why its newspaper did not have any ad pages? Why was it slim even for one day? Why should people guess? KOL is in crisis. Thats it. It lacks strength and responsibilities.

I am sorry for KOL.

I won't curse on KOL or the writer of the column. It is just a matter of time; Nepal lies earthquake prone zone. So, let's just hope that it won't turn out to be worse than this. It didn't report anything about the lootings and other stuffs. We'll be devastated then.

I read in other sites that Kantipur couldn't publish the ads and had to reduce the pages because of that strike; so the next day the number of papers were more.

What a psycho this guy is.................omg i almost fainted. I got this same news on my email and i checked cnn to verify but there's nothing and i turned to sajha to make sure that this is some kind of joke. Thank god it's nothing like that...........i had just talked to my mom in Nepal and everything was fine...............whoever wrote this doesn't have the family i guess and doesn't care about human sentiments.............they better find this person out and do something about him. Thanx balbahadur for bringing this up. I feel better now.

I still cant beleive that kantipur can do such a silly things.

I thought Kantipur was one of the resposible press in Nepal.

f@ck you man ...damn......... how stupid you could be...

F@ck that shit

I stop reading kantipur,,,,,,,,is it owned by doti?

Sanyog rai the most stupid and mad news writer.
