When we thought that the epidemic has transformed the way we celebrate festivals, and just over the last weekdays the festival of colors was observed. Nepal's Ministry of Health and Population had issued a warning about a possible escalation of the next wave of the Covid-19
pandemic and concerned authorities advised the people to celebrate within the family only, but it was all in vain.

The people of Pokhara in particular were all in the spirit but little did they maintain any forms of distancing. With the number of COVID cases arising here, with new cases in the count of 20 or more every single day. The public, however have failed to understand that till date the things have not got less severe and its high time that we should be cautious enough to not put or others lives in danger and act morally given the situation.
