THE SIGHT

The rural areas in Nepal badly affected by dust pollution in the air . This air pollution is leading people to serious problems with health . People are facing respiratory and other health problems but responsible units and persons are not paying attention.     Dusty roads in the rural area Recently, I started about a 30-kilometer journey from a tourist hob city Pokhara to Deurali village by bus. It was after the rainy season and the day was mild sunny. Although some pitches of clouds were roaming on the northern horizon. The road was graveled of pebbles and soil after the Sisuwa bazaar.  The bus itself started to blow dust on the air in the ratio of its speed. The dust was converted into fog around the bus as its slow speed. Pedestrians were seen covered in fog on the road.  Farmers in the nearest paddy field were also seen as the creatures, floating on the clouds. Bush stopped at the foothill named Fedi village. The bus was covered with a dusty fog l...

People in Nepal came on the streets with chanting slogans against India to leave the Kalapani. Amid the mounting pressure, the Nepal government released a statement that unilateral change in the map is unacceptable and the land is under sovereign  Ne...

After twenty years I arrive at my birthplace  Kurgha , a village of Phalebash municipality of Gandaki Pradesh. It was unbelievable that the village is vastly changed in the past two decades in my absence. Really, it is very uneasy for me now to adjust my memories of childhood in the native land. The lifestyle of the villagers is not as hard as earlier.  Schools and colleges, the health center's facilities are available in the village. The village is using home to home water supply, electricity, and connection with motor-able roads. The change was not imaginable for us in our childhood. But the population is getting very low than earlier. Especially the village is about to empty of youths of a laborious age. I had seen hard laboring people in arable fields and cattle shades in my childhood. I saw fertile and arable land remain uncultivated now. Most of the population migrated to urban areas or aboard. I meet some villagers there and note that the human a...
