Seven students, who applied for student visa at American Embassy, were arrested by Police on the charge of producing fake documents to obtain student visa to USA. The arrest was made after the US Embassy in Kathmandu reported to the Metropolitan Police Crime Division.
Some educational consultancies in Kathmandu help these students get forged academic certificates and bank statement. The students who applied for the visas with fake documents refused to cooperate with embassy officials about the education consultancies behind the forgery.
Police have arrested Jatin Shrestha, accountant at Gulmohar Educare for forging documents for money. The embassy will disqualify all the students from applying visa in future if they are found to be involved in forging documents.
It is shame that because of some students applying for the visas with fake documents, not only they are disqualified from applying visa in the future, but also it is affected to other students who are determined to get good education abroad. Embassy officials may be reluctant to provide visas to even well-qualified students with legitimate documents.

Nepal has a history of devastating earthquakes. Many people have died in the past. Nobody knows when that massive earthquake may hit again in the future. If Nepal is not prepared for it, the country will suffer a big loss in terms of people, home and property.
The United State embassy has urged the country to implement lessons learned from Haiti earthquake last year to ensure that Nepal does not suffer the same fate. The well preparation could reduce may lives and human suffering if the massive earthquake is to hit in the future.
This week marks the anniversary of the tragic earthquake that hit Nepal back in 1934. An 8.3 Richter quake shook Kathmandu on January 16, 1934 resulting in massive damage to property and lives. Likewise a devastating earthquake hit island nation of Haiti last year on January 12, which caused 220,000 people to die and many were left homeless. Both natural disasters offer important lessons for Nepal today.
Apparently, no major preparations have been made in the country. However, the United States applauded the Government of Nepal’s recent inauguration of Emergency Operation Centre located at the Home Ministry.

The Department of state is still concerned about the security situation in Nepal, and the US travelers get the latest updates on security and political situation before they travel to the country. Such warning has come as a serious spoiler before the beginning of Nepal Tourism Year 2011.
In the past few months, although there have been relatively fewer major disturbances, political tensions remain. Protests, demonstrations and disruptions continue without notice in advance. This was one of the reasons for the Department of State to consider Nepal an unsafe place to travel. The other reason being the Maoists as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorists†organization under Executive order 13224, and its inclusion on the Terrorist Exclusion List remain in effect.

The shooting was done in a swimming pool in Biratnagar. The lip singing part however couldn’t be done underwater, so was done behind an aquarium.
