A news report published in a vernacular daily that an
international expedition team has postponed its programme to
attempt Mt. Everest during this spring has drawn our serious
attention. The expedition team is yet to approach His Majesty’s
Government for the permit to scale the peak. The Tourism Industry
Section under the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation
has conformed that the expedition team is not one among the 17
teams to receive the permit for climbing the world’s highest peak
during this spring.
The baseless news report has shocked us, as it has come at a time
when the tourism industry has undergone a critical situation.
Therefore, we would like to request the media and other concerned
agencies to verify any information before it is disseminated. We
expect your kind support and cooperation to protect and promote
the tourism industry, which is the mainstay of our economy.
Thank you.
Regards,
Deepak Mahat
President
