Kathmandu, March 17: For the past few days, various parts of the country, including the capital Kathmandu, had been shrouded in haze, making the environment uncomfortable. In Kathmandu, pollution levels had even reached record highs.

However, over the last two to three days, light rainfall in some areas and rain accompanied by windstorms in others have cleared the skies. After the rain, the sky appears blue, the Himalayan regions look blanketed in white snow, and the hilly regions are lush and green. These beautiful scenes have uplifted everyone’s mood.
