The Special Court on Sunday remanded lawmakers Gayatri Sah and Biswonath Prasad Yadav in police custody for 14 days as per a request of the anti-graft body.
The Commi-ssion for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has sought more time to look into their involvement in the misuse of diplomatic passport before filing a case against them at the Special Court.
CIAA is preparing to file cases against them on charges of corruption and tampering the government granted legal documents for their vested interests. "We are preparing to file a case against them on charges of misusing the diplomatic passport but the investigation seems to be delayed. So, we asked the court to give more time for completing the investigation formally," said CIAA Spokesman Ishwori Paudyal.
Out of the four accused immigration officers, three are at large. The delay in filing formal charges has been attributed to failure to arrest the three officers.

Panic has gripped the people of Panbari in Siraha district with an unknown illness, which made inroads into the village on April 30, killed one more villager — Bharat Kumar Danuwar (30) — taking the toll to six.
Two others — Anuragi Sada (60) and Ram Kumari Singh (45) — have been undergoing treatment at a Mirchaiya-based nursing home in a critical condition.

Just got smaller,The World

Nakhhu, May 1
The internet has revolutionised how people communicate and how information transmits. It made the world a global village. Everybody is just a few clicks away from everybody else. The best way to remain intouch with loved ones is undoubtedly through chat, time and distance are no longer remain.
Instant messaging (IM) allows users the service of a satisfying synchronous virtual communication. IM, a popular means of instant communication, is of immense value to those whose acquaintances are geographically far away. Conversations usually take place between two chatters, but most software now support ‘chat rooms’ or other ways of communication with multiple people at the same time. The users simply have to log in with the same software to send and receive instant messages with each other. The most popular IM in Nepal are Microsoft Network (MSN), Yahoo!, Meebo, Gtalk, Skype, Facebook, Opera Mini, Mig33 and IloveIM.com, although there are varieties of IM in the world.
Not only the internet has attracted younger generation but also to the older generation too, who have realised its value in keeping in touch with their loved ones in abroad. Kalpana Rai, a homemaker from Dharan, says, ‘’I am uneducated woman and did not know the process of messenger installation and operation. But after my husband went Qatar two year ago. I have grown attracted to this service. Now i voice chat with him from my daughter’s Yahoo account.’’
She adds, ‘’In 21st century nobody has time to write letters and wait for replies when there are such technological options available. I prefer voice chat, which can be accessed instantly at home.’’ The choices of chat software differs according to profession. Deep Shrestha, a well known singer, says, ‘’I mostly use Facebook , MSN and sometimes Gtalk to keep in touch with my family members, cousins, friens in the media and well wishers.’’
For voice chat a webcam and a headset are essential. Krishna yadi, sales executive of Neoteric Nepal which sells Logitech webcams and headsets, says, ‘’The price of external webcams ranges from Rs 2,800 to Rs 14,00, but now people are getting attracted to laptops with internal webcams. The most affordable laptop with internal webcam at Rs 45,000, while HP laptop at Rs 81,000 comes in high-end category. For the price conscious the Chinese webcams and headsets can be had at affordable prices. According to Yadi, the price of headsets ranges from Rs 1,300 to Rs 3,500 and the customers mostly opt for headsets worth Rs 3,500 and webcam worth Rs 2,800.
Those who do not have access to internet flock to cyber cafes to enjoy chatting live within the privacy of personal cabins. Pradeep Sigdel, proprietor of Pradeep Cyber of Nakhhu says, ‘’We serve a variety of customer ranging from students and business people to housewives. Most clients make a beeline for MSN, Yahoo! And Facebook. The students mostly prefer Facebook, business people like MSN and housewives are partial to the Yahoo! Chat. ‘’
Video chat is the closest one can get to a face-to-face conversation. Whichever purpose they mwy be used for, vedio chats have certainly changed the face of keeping in touch with loved ones.

Li Na makes the history for China
Shova Shrestha
Kumaripati, June 5
Li Na made sporting history at the French Open on Saturday when she became the first player from China to win a Grand Slam singles title.
The 29 yrs old seventh seed won 6-4 7-6 (7-0) to claim her first major title, after falling short in the Australian Open final earlier this year . And after doubles wins at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, China can now celebrate an indivisual joining the game's elite.
Dominant on serve and consistently threatening from the baseline, Li overcame a late wobble to take away Schiavine's title in one hour and 48 minutes.
"It's a dream come true," said Li,"because China never had a Grand Slam Champion, so that's why so many players in China are working so hard. The dream is you can be the top player or win the Grand Slam."
Li's ranking is set to rise to a career-high four next week, something that seened a lay way off when she took a break from the sport between 2002 and 2004 to study journalism.
During her time away she got married to Jiang Shan, who becane her coach, and on her run to the Australian Open final in January Li won lots of fans with her on-court interviews, in which she regularly teased Jiang.
Li had lost to Kim Clijsters in the final set in Melbourne, and Schiavone's best hope appeared to be an attack of nerves from the sixth seed if she could prolong the contest.
"She played a really high level through one set and 2-1, 3-1, she was playing really well,"said Schiavone. "I think at the end eve were really close and it could be the set for one or for her. But at the end, she won. I think she deserved this final."
