King Tribhuvan’s statue going to be removed from Shahid Gate



The government on Monday has decided to remove the statue of late King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah from Shahid Gate through a Cabinet meeting and place it at Narayanhiti Palace Museum.
At present, Tribhuvan’s statue is in the middle of the statues of four martyrs – Ganga Lal Shrestha, Dharma Bhakta Mathema, Dashrath Chand and Sukraraj Shastri – at Shahid Gate.
Deputy Prime Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha said that the government took the decision as “it is inappropriate to display the king’s statute along with the great martyrs.”
Meanwhile, today’s cabinet meeting also decided to hold international conference in Kathmandu on climate change in mountainous countries on April 5-6 and to appoint Ram Kumar Yadav as the acting general manager of Nepal Drinking Water Corporation removing Dharma Dev Bajimaya from the post.




Nepal's Suman Udaya amongst the Kings of Bollywood

Have you ever had a feeling where you’re not quite sure if you’re awake or still dreaming? Well that’s exactly what Suman Udaya felt when he was performing the opening act for Bollywood’s most sought after musical trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s (SEL) ‘Kings of Bollywood’ Concert in Abu Dhabi on 16th December, 2011. Over 4000 fans took to their feet energized at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, singing and dancing as Udaya performed chart topping hit songs such as Saiyonee, Teri Deewani and I Love You (from the movie Bodyguard). “It felt so good when I heard the crowd cheering loud and singing along with me” says Udaya as he shares his high emotional pact night. “Even though the Nepali crowd [at the concert] was limited, I got full support from them....I feel so proud to represent my country Nepal!”

Two years ago when Suman heard SEL was performing at the Rock On concert in Dubai, he knew he had to attend. “Wow what a day it was” he recalls, “ from that day I wished to perform along with them.”

Just last July, this Nepalese talent’s lifelong dream of becoming a live performer took center stage when he opened the show for the UK/Canadian based Punjabi Dj/Bhangra music production group RDB and Dutch born Pakistani singer Imran Khan, at the Dubai Summer Dhol 2011 concert.

By day Udaya is a business development manager but in front of a microphone, this proud Nepali morphs himself into one of the most astounding vocalist in the UAE. Hence it is no wonder he was personally  handpicked by UAE’s CITY 101.6 FM to perform for these mega stars. 

And as for the secret of his success one might wonder? “...it’s passion, even though work is hectic everywhere, I never gave up my passion for music.”
