Nepal authorities have forbidden selling alcohol

Tourists, who plan to visit Nepal within the nearest week, should consider that in connection with forthcoming elections in legislative assembly in the country sale and manufacture of alcoholic drinks and movement on the country on public and private transport is forbidden.
Such unprecedented measures have been accepted by authorities in order to prevent flash of violence over the free elections first for last 9 years in the country. Authorities are afraid of ethnic collisions in the south of Nepal and protests of inhabitants of the Tibetan enclaves in northwest. Meantime Nepal large changes are waiting: the assembly should make changes to the constitution and change a state system of the country, having transformed it in republic.
However, it will not be possible to lead completely nonalcoholic elections in Nepal, as the majority of local residents is made with spirits, and the basic share of the use of alcohol in the country is necessary on home-made alcohol drinks, and it is impossible to supervise its manufacture in the country.

• Five-star hotels of Nepal are to become more expensive
• Alcohol will be forbidden and limited in 80 countries of the world
• Vegetarian festival is being held in Thailand
• Saudi enamored are forbidden to give roses
