I pity the poor DA and ADA who have probably been working this issue for a week with the HOM - waiting for meetings with ministers, constant phone calls, delays at the Foreign Ministry, Note verbales to the Prime Ministry, reams of unecessary paperwork faxed (yes, probably faxed) to the Customs Ministry...massive pressure from PJHQ and DfID to 'get a move on'...and the losers are the people of Nepal.
