Operation Big News is daily News Magzine from Abc News channel. Operation Big News goal is to give different and unique news to public. Due to Natural Disaster Nepal government has temporary stopped sand and stone source. with chores in the household, herding, and working as a stone crusher. Their family of six is striving to earn enough to cover the everyday basic needs as well as managing to keep the four children clinging to school. The parents are quite sceptical that they will be able afford it in the days to come. The country faces a severe environmental threat due to excessive and illegal extraction of natural resources such as sand, boulders and stones from its rivers, thanks to a poor coordination among the ministries to regulate the crusher industry. The Ministry of Local Development, the Ministry of Industries and the Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation are responsible for checking the exploitation of natural resources from rivers, forests and national parks. However, disputes on turf and a negligence of recommendations from another ministry have imperiled the sustainability of resources, officials say.
