Allow me to inform you that Inspector Bimala Thapa whom you had pointed out as an
example of resistance to the prevailing corruption in public life (New heroes, quiet revolutions by John Child, #13) has been removed from her post opposite Singha Durbar. Rumour has it that she crossed a couple of government ministers by insisting that their children come in person to collect their driving licences (and take a test?) rather than the licence being delivered to their residence by a messenger.
