A Thousand More Missing, the Road Comes Back & a Cup from Kuala Lumpur (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Namaste, diaspora family. Four weeks since the Bhotekoshi came down, and this was the week the numbers moved in opposite directions. On Wednesday the disaster authority added nearly a thousand names to the missing list after checking the district registers, and the count now stands at 6,145 . On Thursday morning, at six o’clock, the first car in eighteen days drove through Krishnabhir and the Prithvi Highway was a highway again. A cooking-gas cylinder in Kathmandu got cheaper by lunchtime. In be
Martyrs' Day, Empty Cylinders & Ten Million Dollars in Transit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Namaste, diaspora family. This is the third week since the Bhotekoshi came down, and the first in which the digest returns to its usual four sections. The flood is still in all of them.

At about twenty to nine on Wednesday morning, a piece of glacier roughly six hundred metres wide came off the flank of Langtang Lirung and fell more than a kilometre onto the valley floor. What it set loose tore down the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli, took the border town of Timure off the map, and has killed more people than any single disaster in Nepal since the 2015 earthquake. Many
America Pulls the Rug, Gold Breaks Again & Congress Splits in Two (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Namaste, diaspora family. This was a heavy week, and the heaviest news lands squarely on our own people: Washington has formally ended Temporary Protected Status for Nepalis, leaving thousands of families who have built lives in America since the 2015 earthquake without legal footing. Closer to home, gold set yet another record, the Nepali Congress is now heading for two rival conventions, and the monsoon has claimed 85 lives. There is better news too, from Guangzhou and from a football pitch. L
