Kathmandu: The Editor of the vernacular HINDU Weekly, Mr. Paban Thapa “Kuntal” met with an accident last week.

He was in his motor-bike and was returning to his home around 9 PM in the evening when this mishap occurred.

Mr. Thapa was rushed to the B&B Hospital by his intimate colleagues and reports have it that he is still lying unconscious. However, Doctors attending on him say that he is slowly recovering for the better.

A section of the Nepali media suspect the hands of some unscrupulous elements who could have hit Thapa’s motor-bike deliberately.

Several media organizations have appealed the establishment to initiate a probe into the causes of the accident and make it public at the earliest.

We in the Telegraph weekly pray for Thapa’s early recovery and also appeal the government to extend financial support for the treatment of Mr. Thapa.

Thapa is is senior journalist of the country.
