On the day of Chait 26, 2062, Devaki Dahal was busy with work as it was time to sow corn. At around 12:00 noon, the neighbor reported that he received a call from his brother from Pokhara. His brother told him the news, 'My brother has been shot in the protest in Pokhara, the situation is a bit difficult, preparations are being made to bring him to Kathmandu for treatment.'

"My brother said that he had been shot and that he was going to bring him to Kathmandu for treatment, but he thought it was not such news," she recalled that day. My husband remains.'

According to her, the contribution made by Shaheed has changed a lot in the country, but the government has not considered it. "What else does the martyr's family need," she said, "that the government should remember and appreciate their contribution and sacrifice. For one or two years, the government seemed to remember it, but as time goes by, the government also forgets it." It's been 18 years since the
