2008-11-09,Sunday

(यो नयाँ पत्रीका बाट सावर गरिएको आलेख हो। )


मध्याह्नको टन्टलापुर घाम । ओखलढुंगा महोत्सव । कतिखेर प्रधानमन्त्री प्रचण्ड आउलान् भनेर पर्खिरहेको छ, पन्ध्र सयभन्दा ठूलो जमातले पोकली झरनामा । लगभग साढे बारतिर ओखलढुंगास्थित पोकलीको शिरमा हेलिकोप्टरले एक फन्का लगायो । पहाडको तीन चक्कर लाएपछि लेती निमाविको प्रांगणमा हेलिकोप्टरले भुइँ टेक्यो । एकछिनपछि कालो भादगाउँले टोपी र कालै कोटपाइन्टमा सजिएका प्रधानमन्त्री मुसुमुसु हाँस्दै तल ओर्लिए । धक्कमधक्का गर्दै दोलखा, रामेछाप र ओखलढुंगाका स्थानीयहरूले उनलाई गुजुप्प घेरे । कस्ता छन् प्रचण्ड ? भीड व्यवस्थित पार्न तयार पारिएको स्वयंसेवक दस्ता पनि प्रचण्डलाई छुन तँछाडमछाड गरिरहेका थिए । पोकली झरना महोत्सवको उद्घाटन गर्न आएका प्रचण्ड हप्प गर्मीमा भीडले घेरिए ।

'मीठो रहेछ,’ सुरुप्प एक घुट्को दही निलेर उनी अगाडि बढे । पछि थाहा भो, कुनै फ्यानले प्रचण्डले आधा पिएर बाँकी छोडेको दही किनेर लगेछन् ।
सीमित प्रहरी र राजधानीबाट प्रधानमन्त्रीको सुरक्षार्थ आएको नेपाली सेनाले भीडलाई अल्लि पर सारेपछि, केही आराम अनुभूति गरेका प्रचण्डले ओखलढुंगा क्षेत्र नं २ का सभासद् बालकृष्ण ढुंगेललाई सोधेका थिए, 'कतिमाथि छ कार्यक्रमस्थल ।'
सभासद् ढुंगेल प्रचण्डकै जस्तै जुँघा, कपाल र हाउभाउमा प्रशन्न देखिन्थे । फूलका माला पनि प्रचण्डकैझैं गलाभरि थिए । उनले दक्षिणतर्फ देखाउँदै भने, 'यो डाँडापारि छ, बढीमा दसै मिनेट लाग्ला ।' अनुहारभरि पसिना भरिएका प्रधानमन्त्रीले पनि उत्तर फर्काइहाले, 'ठीकै छ नि उकाली-ओराली त पहिले (युद्धकालमा) पनि गरेकै हो ।'

हुन त, उनको यात्राका लागि खैरो रङका बलिष्ठ दुई घोडा तयार थिए । स्थानीय बासिन्दासँग गफ गर्दै हिँड्दा प्रचण्डलाई कुरिरहेका घोडा पछि छुटे । प्रचण्ड अगाडि पुगे ।
एकजना ७० वर्षे झुस्स दाह्री, मैलिएको टाटेपाटे ढाका टोपीमा सजिएका दुब्लोकायाका वृद्ध भीड अगाडि आइपुगे । उनले दुई हात जोड्दै ती वृद्धलाई सोधे, 'सन्चै हुनुहुन्छ ?'
'बेसै छ ।' ती वृद्ध अँगालो मार्दै मुस्कुराए । प्रचण्डले पनि वृद्धलाई धाप दिए । अंगरक्षकले स्नेहसहित ती वृद्धलाई भीडमा छाडिदिए । अपरिचत वृद्धको यो अँगालोले प्रचण्डको अनुहारमा उज्यालो फैलिएको थियो । मुस्कुराउँदै उनी अगाडि बढे ।

हात हल्लाउँदै माथिल्लो लेतीबाट पोकलीतर्फ बढिरहँदा प्रचण्डले स्कुलतिर इसारा गर्दै उनले सभासद् ढुंगेललाई सोधेका थिए, 'कति कक्षासम्म पढाइहुन्छ यो स्कुलमा ?' जीर्ण छाना । आठ-नौ कोठाको स्कुल शान्त नै थियो । महोत्सवका लागि विद्यालय बन्द थियो । प्रायः विद्यार्थी पहेंलो टोपीमा सजिएका स्वयंसेवक बनेका थिए । जो प्रचण्डको स्वागतमा ताली बजाइरहेका थिए ।

'पाँचसम्म पढाइ हुन्छ,' सेना र प्रहरीको सुरक्षा घेराभित्र प्रधानमन्त्रीसँगै रहेका एकजनाले आयोजकले जानकारी दिए, '२००३ मा स्थापना भए पनि यो मावि हुन सकेन ।' प्रचण्डले स्वाभाविक रूपमा मुन्टो हल्लाए । आफूलाई संवेदनशील बताउने उनको अनुहार अँध्यारो थियो ।
प्रचण्ड पहिलोपल्ट ओखलढुंगा पुगेका थिए । र, पहिलोपल्ट लोकतान्त्रिक गणतन्त्र नेपालका प्रथम प्रधानमन्त्रीलाई नजिकबाट नियाल्न तीन जिल्लाका बासिन्दा एकाबिहानैदेखि फूलमाल लिएर स्वागतमा उभिएका थिए । तिनै मालाले प्रचण्डको गर्दन भरिएको थियो । मालामाथि माला यति थपिए कि औपचारिक कार्यक्रमको मञ्चमा पुग्दा उनको भादगाउँले टोपी मात्र देखिन्थ्यो ।

धनुषवाण बोकेका शेर्पा, सुनुवार, आमा समूहलगायतको झाँकी केहीबेर मुस्कुराउँदै हेरेपछि उनले पर्यटन मन्त्री हिसिला यमीसँग कानेखुसी गरेका थिए । अनि, उनले कानेखुसी गर्न संस्कृति मन्त्री गोपाल किराँतीतिर टाउको ढल्काए । पण्डितहरूले वेदका मन्त्र उच्चारण गर्दा साविकझैं टाउको हल्लाउँदै उनले मन्त्री यमीसँग खै के भनेर फेरि साउती गरे । कार्यक्रमभरि प्रचण्ड अधैर्य देखिन्थे । उनका हातका औंला एकआपसमा जेलिन्थे । आयोजकको उपहार ढाका टोपी ग्रहण गर्न उनले कालो ढाका टोपी फुकाले । र, एकछिन् दुवै हत्केलाले निधारको कपाल पछाडि धकेले र मिलाए ।

अब पालो मन्तव्यको । जुरुक्क उठे । भीडलाई नियाले । उनले एकछिन्को राजनीतिक भाषणपछि भने, 'मेरो प्यारो ओखलढुंगा मैले स्कुल छँदै पढेको थिएँ । जाँच दिएको थिएँ । त्यसो भएकाले यस क्षेत्रप्रति विशेष स्नेह र माया छ ।'
औपचारिक कार्यक्रम सिद्धियो । आयोजकको पछि लागेर उनी उक्लिए कान्लामाथिको स्टलस्थलमा । बाँसबाट बनेको डोको-डालो भएको स्टलमा पुगेर रोकिएका प्रचण्डले सोधे, 'यहीँबाट पुग्छ है यो काठमाडौंमा ?'
उनीसँगैका आयोजकले सबै यहाँबाट नजाने जानकारी गराए ।

'साह्रै राम्रो बुन्नुहुँदो रहेछ' भन्दै स्टल रुँगिरहेका एकजना स्थानीयसँग प्रचण्डले सोधे, 'बाँस कहाँबाट ल्याउनुहुन्छ ?'
प्रधानमन्त्रीसँग दोहोरो संवाद गर्न पाएका उनले हर्षमिश्रति स्वरमा सुनाए, 'आफ्नै बारीको हो ।'
त्यसपछि बढे प्रचण्ड जडिबुटी भएको स्टलतिर । आयोजकले उनलाईर् ओखलढुंगामा महँगो र विरलै पाइने जडिबुटी देखाए । र, भने, 'जडिबुटी प्रशोधनका लागि यहीँ प्रयोगशाला भइदिएको भए । हाम्रो आयआर्जन बढ्ने थियो ।'
उनले मस्कुराउँदै फेरि मुन्टो हल्लाए ।

अब पालो हेन्डी क्राफ्ट स्टलको । केही नबोली करिब २० सेकेन्ड त्यो स्टलमा घोरिएका उनले अंगरक्षकसँग उनीको रुमाल किन्न भने र अझ अघि बढे । दहीको स्टलमा पुगेर प्रचण्ड रोकिएपछि स्टल रुग्न बसेकी महिलाले एक गिलास दही प्रचण्डलाई दिइन् ।
'यो यहीँको उत्पादन हो,' दही लिन हात बढाउँदै गर्दा आयोजक समूहका एकजनाले भने, 'यहाँ बजार नभएकाले दूध-दही बिक्री हुँदैन ।'
आयोजकको कुरा चुपचाप सुनिरहेका प्रचण्डले गिलासको दही चाखे र भने, 'मीठो रहेछ ।'
सुरुप्प एक घुट्को दही निलेर उनी अगाडि बढे ।

पछि थाहा भो, कुनै फ्यानले प्रचण्डले आधा पिएर बाँकी छोडेको दही किनेर लगेछन् ।
६२ स्टल घुमेर केही थकित देखिएका प्रचण्ड फेरि भीडमा घेरिए । भीडले उनलाई छुन चाहन्थ्यो । नजिकबाट हेर्न चाहन्थ्यो ।
स्वयंसेवक र सुरक्षाकर्मीको गोल घेराभित्र सबैलाई हात हल्लाउँदै प्रचण्ड उक्लिए, माथिल्लो लेतीतिर । जहाँ, उनलाई हेलिकोप्टरले पर्खिरहेको थियो । डाँडैडाँडा छेलिँदै हेलिकोप्टर काठमान्डूतिर बत्तियो ।

सापकोटाजी धन्यवाद । प्रचण्डको बारेमा हामीलाई जानकारी दिनुभयो । प्रधानमन्त्रीको हाउभाउ कस्तो छ उनी के चाहन्छन् भन्ने कुरा बुझ्नु हाम्रो लागि अति नै आवश्यक छ । म अघिल्लो कमेन्ट गर्ने साथीले भनेको जस्तो म भन्नै चाहन्न । कुनै वरिष्ठ व्यक्तित्वको दिनचर्या लेख्नु वा त्यसबारेमा हामीलाई जानकारी दिनु अति नै राम्रो कार्य हो । देशको लागि म केही गर्छर्ुुन्नै नचाहने, एउटा भिजन पनि लिन नसकेकाहरुको दिनचर्या सुनाउनुभन्दा त प्रचण्डको बारेमा लेख्नु धेरै नै राम्रो कुरा हो । मलाई यत्ति थाहा छ कि उनी अहिलेका प्रधानमन्त्री हुन् जो १० वर्षो जनयुद्धपछि पहिलोपटक मै सरकारमा पुगेका छन् । उनले नेपाललाई चमत्कारिक ढंगले परिवर्तन गर्छर्ुुनेका छन् त्यही नै एउटा महान कुरा हो । उनले जुन कुरा गर्छर्ुुनेर भनेका छन् त्यसलाई हामी सबैले सपोर्ट गर्नैपर्छ किनकि उनले आफ्नो मात्र मातृभूमिको कुरा गरेका छैनन् हामी सबैको हितको कुरा गरेका छन् र गर्छन् पनि होला । आशा गरौं ।

i am agreed with the view of gautam ji, coz to criticise negetively only is not good,to develop the country is depend upon the people's good consent and positive thinking towards our nation leaders. if nation leaders want to do good for the country then why should we discourage? we have to support the leaders and each and every citizen must be concious positively. we have to take action only when the leaders misleads the country and misuse the people's power.i dont support the person but person's work and his good intension.

He is behaving as if he is really an another king of Nepal.I agree with x-ray ji.Country can not be improved simply by prasing a personality rather he shold have something to implement in his mind.Its not a matter of vision only, that does not work at all if he does not have its one clear way to implement it. Its not good to give place such niche article as a banner in a paper.

Travel Deals to Okhaldhunga




Travel Deals to Okhaldhunga


Sitting at just over 5000 feet, Okhaldunga is an ideal destination for immersion in a genuine Nepali village. The magic of this town is conveyed in both it's hospitality and natural beauty. Although a narrow dirt road now connects this district to the rest of Nepal, the hilly terrain makes travel to Okhaldhunga difficult at best, and at times quite treacherous. For most, a two day walk from the town of Katari continues to be the best and safest way to reach Okhaldhunga.

Amidst a scenic wonderland, Okhaldhunga offers a truly Nepali experience. The district capital is a small town surrounded by hills dotted with small faming villages. Okhaldhunga's pristinely breathtaking scenery, immortalized by 20th century poet Siddhicharan Shrestha, invites visitors to a number of local hikes and treks, including a two hour walk to Pokali, the second largest waterfall in Nepal. During certain times of year, the crisp, clear skies give view to the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, providing a perfect excuse to relax in front of the world's tallest mountain range.

The Okhaldhunga district, with Okhaldhunga as its capital, is part of the Sagarmatha zone of eastern Nepal, one of 75 districts. It spans an area of about 1,100km2 and has a population of over 150,000 people.

Okhaldhunga also offers the setting to accomplish many things, working hand in hand with the community in such areas as education, English instruction, sanitation and waste management, health, youth activities, infrastructure planning and development, and more.

Your trip to Okhaldhunga is an all-inclusive opportunity to live and work in the “Real Nepal”, far away from city life.

ओखलदुंगा hospital


okhaldhunga mission Hospital

Background:

In the early 1960’s, a Ghurka soldier extended an invitation to a physician in the British Army to start a medical project in the Okhaldhunga district. From its humble beginnings as a small remote clinic, it has grown into a small community hospital with 32 inpatient beds and an active Public Health Unit. Nestled in a remote region of the foothills of the Himalayas due south from Mount Everest, the hospital is the only facility in Okhaldhunga district and additionally serves people in four surrounding districts, accounting for a population of more than 250,000 people. In comparison to other areas of Nepal, Okhaldhunga district is severely impoverished. A recent study by the community health team, found that less than 3% of all people in this district have any extra resources left after meeting the basic needs of feeding their family. This is also is an acute care general hospital.



This hospital treats about 20,000 outpatients every year and admits about 1500 cases. Surgical procedures depend on the availability of a surgeon with the hospital normally performing about 1000 surgical procedures per year. The surgical procedures here consist of emergency life-saving surgeries including caesarean sections and some gynaecological emergencies. This hospital is not well equipped like Tansen hospital for complicated surgical procedures but there is potential for upgrading without much effort if a surgeon is available there for the longer term. There are 59 Nepali staff and two expatriates at this time.



This is also one of the more remote hospitals where family medicine doctors are trained for their district posting. These residents are trained in basic general surgery, obstetric and gynaecology and most of the time in basic anaesthesia. Therefore these residents provide crucial manpower in a hospital like this.



Facilities:

No constant motorable road, though there is a seasonal dirt road for transportation. Therefore this hospital can be reached by air ( 64 US Dollar one way from Kathmandu and 128 US Dollars return form Kathmandu as at April 2007) to Rumjatar and walk for 3 hours on foot. The hospital has:

* electricity and good water supply
* satellite phone and email
* a regular mail service to and from Kathmandu
* a flat with basic facilities situated near to the hospital.
