Tul Bahadur Thapa of Makwanpur Bhimfedi Rural Municipality-6, Jurikhet was always in a hurry to go to school. Even after eating early and walking briskly, he struggled to reach school on time. It took about 2 hours to walk from his house to school.
Even Manduki Saraswati Lama of Bhimfedi used to take almost an hour and a half to reach from home to school. Sometimes, by the time he arrived, the studies had already started. Many times she has returned from the gate.
The school locks the Mulgate itself after 10 o'clock. After 10 o'clock teachers, students who come late should return through the gate. This problem is not only Tul Bahadur and Saraswati. Deurali, Chisapani, Damar, Pandrang, Dhorsing, Golpingwesi, Apchaur, Mandu, It belongs to the students of Gadeli, Jurikhet, Urlaghari, Dhuseni and other areas.
