Army says explosion, smoke in Langtang area not a volcano

Nepal Army has said that the smoke coming out of a mountain in the scenic Langtang area in Rasuwa district reportedly after an explosion is not a volcano as reported by a section of the Kathmandu media.

NA spokesperson Suresh Sharma said that a team of NA soldiers sent to Langtang area on a helicopter has returned and confirmed that the smoke emitting out of a mountainous part of the Langtang National Park is not a volcano but a ‘minor wildfire’ that will soon be contained.

However, on December 14, Nepali astrologers had said that there is a possibility of volcano within a week while dismissing talks about the world ending on December 21 (that originated from the western countries) as ‘mere rumours’.

Earlier, as the news of a 'volcanic eruption' spread, Langtang area, located north of Kathmandu, is not a volcano prone area, a senior geologist had said.

Senior Geologist Dharma Raj Khadka had told Nepalnews that that it was highly unlikely that a volcanic eruption had taken place in the area.

"There might be other reasons behind the 'explosion'," he had said. nepalnews.com

It is stupid that in these modern day and age, people still seek astrologers. Even the positions of the stars have changed and our zodiac sign also have changed with a new zodiac sign that has been added couple of years back. When will such stupidity end?

 Pretty soon, these idiots will sacrifice a goat like they did at the airport few years back.
