Kathmandu: A meeting of the Central Working Committee of the Nepali Congress is being held on Tuesday amid confusion over whether to agitate against the dissolution of the House of Representatives or wait for the court's decision.



A meeting will be held at the party office, Sanepa at 1 pm to discuss the preparations for the party's 14th general convention and the agitation against the dissolution of the parliament, Prakash Sharan Mahat informed. However, the leaders said that it was not clear whether a movement against the dissolution of the parliament would be declared or not.



On Monday, the day before the meeting, leaders of both the parties, including the two general secretaries, were engaged in discussions at Sanepa.



Leaders of senior leader Ram Chandra Poudel's party have stressed on the need to make public more programs of the movement. But the leaders close to the president were of the opinion that they should consult with the president.



Before the leaders of both the parties sat in the party office, the leaders of Poudel's party had gathered at the residence of General Secretary Shashank Koirala. The leaders have stressed on the need to bring more programs of the movement as the dissolution of the parliament is unconstitutional.



Leaders say that party president Sher Bahadur Deuba is not in favor of announcing the agitation. He has been saying that he should not speak on the issue under consideration in the court and should not agitate for the court to do so.

(NBC): A massive operation involving multiple law enforcement agencies resulted in the recovery of nearly three dozen missing children, including several who had been sexually exploited, authorities said.



One person suspected of human trafficking was arrested on state charges, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said Friday in a press release. Details of the arrest were not immediately available.



"Operation Lost Angels" began on Jan. 11 during Human Trafficking Awareness Month. The FBI said 33 children were rescued, including eight who were being sexually exploited at the time of recovery.



Several of the other victims had been sexually exploited in the past and were "considered vulnerable missing children," according to authorities. Two of the victims had been recovered multiple times while at a location known for commercial sex trafficking.



The FBI said it's not uncommon for victims to return on their own or by force or threats.



"This harmful cycle highlights the challenges victims face and those faced by law enforcement when attempting to keep victims from returning to an abusive situation," the FBI said. "Victims may not self-identify as being trafficked or may not even realize they’re being trafficked."



Some of the victims were arrested for misdemeanor crimes such as violating probation or robbery, authorities said. One child was discovered to be the victim of a noncustodial parental kidnapping.



Additional details about the victims were not released and the FBI could not be reached on Saturday.



Federal investigators worked with the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and two dozen other law enforcement agencies.



Agencies in other states also assisted including the Wichita Police Department in Kansas, the Langston University Police in Oklahoma and the Arizona Department of Child Safety.



“Human trafficking is a pervasive and insidious crime that threatens the safety of our young people, who are the future of our communities,” said Michel Moore, chief of the Los Angeles Police Department. “We can only begin to take back the future of our youth with the strong partnerships forged between outstanding service providers and law enforcement.”

The number of water birds has decreased in Koshi river, Jagdishpur Ramsar area, Chitwan, Karnali river and Badaiya lake area.

Chairman of the Bird Education Society Ramesh Chaudhary said that the number of water bird species has decreased in Chitwan this year as well. Chairman of the Bardiya Nature Club Ram Shahi said that the number of birds in the Karnali River and Badaiya Lake areas is less than in the past.
