As I constantly analyze Russia's war against Ukraine and, accordingly, the situation in Russia, I am inclined to interpret events in Nepal by drawing parallels.

Urgent mediation to save the Indus Waters Treaty could be a route to de-escalation between India and Pakistan
Tensions over water have contributed to the outbreak of hostilities, but potential mediation by the World Bank could provide an important chance for engagement.

India has reportedly the world’s highest road fatality rate. This is an example of a sidewalk encroached by shops and see the state of junction between sidewalk and street. People are forced to walk on the road.

The figures are underreported. Pedestrians are forced to walk on the roads because the footpaths/sidewalks are so badly designed and uneven that you cannot walk on them or are narrow or encroached by shops. It’s not that people do not care.
