Mandi region
Mandi is a southern region of Chitwan district in Nepal which includes four administrative regions called VDC (Village Development Committee). This region is between the Bihar state of India and the famous National Park in Chitwan Nepal - Royal Chitwan National Park. This region has a very famous place with a temple to which thousands of people from around the region flock for religious worship. This place came into world attention when a civilian bus was blown off in an ambush by Maoist cadres killing about forty unarmed civilian people riding the bus. This was widely condemned including UN secretary general Kofi Annan and this led to a statement of sorrow and apology from the chairman Prachanda of the assailants themselves. This region is very suitable for growing many of the crops and that is the only major source of income for the residents of this region.
