7 killed in Nepal's Viagra war


Kathmandu, July 3 (IANS) Six people have been arrested after a turf war over what is
known as Nepal's `herbal Viagra' erupted in a remote northern district, resulting in the death
of seven villagers, police said Friday.
All seven victims are from the Gorkha community of western Nepal, known for their valour
and sought by the Indian and British Armies.
Most of them are teenagers.
The violence erupted in Nar, a village in Manang district, once part of an ancient Tibetan
kingdom, when a group from Gorkha district went there in the hope of collecting the much
sought-after yarsagumba, a herb believed to have high aphrodisiac qualities.
