Scores of engineers get caught for corruption in Nepal. Stakeholders are concerned about their image

On October 21, a group of cadres of the CK Raut-led Janamat Party beat up Rajesh Kushwaha, an engineer associated with the Federal Water Supply and Sewerage Management Project in Janakpurdham. The group beat Kushwaha, alleging him of corruption.

Everyone condemned the incident, but it shed light on how the public was growing frustrated with engineers who were at one point in time treated with a lot of respect. Experts say these incidents will continue to happen if the engineering community does not learn from its mistake as the community has been defamed in the past few years.
