@AnupKaphle @sangamprasai Dubious 😂! It was set up to post links to articles that actually puts names to stories, not ‘an unnamed source’ which seems so popular in Nepal. Where’s the accountability!?! For the most part, all we see are articles that seem to protect corrupt officials rather than name them.

@AnupKaphle @sangamprasai How is it possible that we have known, and published before, who received shares of these bribes (paid in three instalments), but KP doesn’t know, or does but won’t publish the names!?!

Why not name the clinic?

It’s ERA Medical Centre, jointly owned by Bhanu Dhakal (also owns First Assistance Nepal) Kumar Thapaliya (also owns Mountain Heli), Tashi Lakpa Sherpa (owns Seven Summit Treks/14 Peak Expeditions). Easy Heli also involved, owned by Tashi Lakpa Sherpa.

@AvBasnet @NepaliTimes It has been, many times. Unfortunately, nothing has ever been done about it, despite multiple promises by the Government to stop the fraud.

IPPG medical posts in Machermo and Gokyo (Nepal) have been forced to close, after 17yrs serving trekkers and porters. Being “replaced” by a government-supported private clinic which reportedly overtreats and forces helicopter evacuation for mildly unwell trekkers for high fees

“...it is very easy to see which company you are more likely to summit with. And which companies you, put simply, are more statistically likely to die with. Sadly, much of it is down to budget and ability...” https://t.co/PFBsHkAwCn via @explore7summits

@SudinSayami Identify them and beat the bastards with a stick as they did to the poor defenceless dogs. Then throw them in jail. They shouldn’t be allowed to roam free in society!

#Nepal sets new rules for #Everest climbers after deadly season. The problem is, it is not enough! More needs to be done to enforce safety measures of trekking and mountaineering companies who currently operate with zero minimum safety guidelines: https://t.co/GUWlR6BOov
