The earthquake of 2072 which caused great loss of human wealth is still not forgotten. Ten years have passed since the earthquake. But some of the problems created by this are yet to be solved. Especially those displaced from Thatathalo are still in a precarious situation.

More than 200 families of Rasuwa Uttar Gaya Rural Municipality – 5 Khalde Bagar are experiencing this pain. They are in the Bagar once left by Trishuli river. This year, in Barkha, Trishuli's herds almost entered the settlement, the displaced people fled. The blessed nature held its rhythm, the settlement was saved. 

It is not possible for the displaced people living here to go back to their old village. On the other hand, they have not been able to go to rehabilitation due to lack of government support. Years have passed, begging for help, but who will listen? Meanwhile, they ran hundreds of times to Singha Durbar. He conveyed his pain to the Minister, the Prime Minister. But there was no hearing. Cheku Lama, the coordinator of the Displaced Settlement Management Struggle Committee, expresses the pain of being forced to stay in Tahro after the demands are not heard from anywhere. Everyone including children, women, senior citizens is seen to be in trouble here.

An earthquake is a natural disaster. It is impossible to predict when it will come and how much damage it will cause. The damage caused by an earthquake that occurs only for a few moments and the effects and effects created after that will last for a long time. This lesson has been taught by some of the major earthquakes of the last decade. Savik Haku Village-8 and 9, Ward no. The earthquake victims of 8 and 9 (currently Uttargaya rural municipality-1) are still living in the Khalde Bagar of Uttargaya-5. There is also an administrative building of Uttargaya Rural Municipality nearby and daily work is done from there. 

After a long struggle and with the intention of rehabilitating 128 families among those living in the pits, the National Reconstruction Authority purchased 38 ropani lands in the vicinity of Lower Pere in 2077. Later, the land was purchased in the name of the authority to distribute parts to the displaced people, but 4 years have passed, but private housing for the displaced people has not been constructed. On the other hand, what will happen to the land that was purchased for the displaced after the government revoked the authority? is confused Coordinator Cheku says, "We don't have money to build a house. There is confusion whether the subsidy from the government will come or not. The price of construction materials has increased, the 2 lakh rupees given by the government is not even enough to build a house. The Tamang community has an old tradition of living together in one place. Wherever you go, you must gather for social and cultural activities. That is our culture. We want to live in an integrated settlement.' 

Although the authority published a notice (on 28th of January 2077) saying that the authority would purchase land in the second phase for the remaining 54 families living in the pits, the authority was terminated without purchasing the land. After that, the issue of resettlement of displaced people has become more overshadowed. Poorna Ghale, the leader of the village and executive member of Uttargaya Rural Municipality, says, 'The names of 29 families are still missing, they should have been included in the displaced list, but despite repeated requests, the authorities released them. In this way, according to the grant distribution procedures of the then authority, the beneficiary must have been established to receive government grants.' 

The resettlement of 182 families is in confusion with the relocation of 128 families who have been placed on the beneficiary list and 54 families who have been placed on the beneficiary list but are yet to purchase land. As the leaders said, 29 families are on the exemption list. From the eyes of the state, these numbers are not big, but from the eyes of ordinary citizens and communities and victims, each and every household is big. 

The right to housing is guaranteed in Article 37 of the Constitution of Nepal, but here the housing of the people who need to be assisted in rehabilitation by the state is at risk. The government has not been listened to even though it has been requested many times, this is not only a shameful issue, it is also an injustice to the Nepali citizens. 

The then executive head of the National Reconstruction Authority, Govindaraj Pokharel, reached Khaldei and promised to build an integrated settlement. At that time, the then Reconstruction Ambassador Sitaram Kattel, saying that he would help in settling 'Dhurmus' and the settlement, Juddha Bahadur Gurung of Kaduri Foundation also reached there by helicopter. However, later, it was said that there was a geological report that there was a risk in the pit, and it was said that it would not be possible to build an integrated settlement there. The settlement process was not initiated. However, the displaced are still in the same place. 

The displaced earthquake victim families who have been displaced and living elsewhere except Khalde, bought a ghderi with 2 lakh rupees, while the displaced people of Khalde kept on demanding that they should be settled permanently in Khalde for a long time. However, the authority did not provide any subsidy for setting up an integrated settlement or rebuilding private housing. Asking them to take Rs 2 lakh and settle on it. However, it was difficult to get one ana land around there for 2 lakh rupees. At least 4 annas of land is required to build a house. After the earthquake, the value of the land around Khalde, where there is little land, has increased tremendously. The displaced family said, "Let the government purchase the land and build an integrated settlement." But it did not happen.

Buti Tamang, a displaced person and a member of the Uttargaya village executive, says, "It is very difficult for women to live in a small village even temporarily for such a long time. There are no job opportunities, no relief helpers. The daily life of the displaced people here is very difficult. We asked the government for a safe house to live in, but we couldn't get it.' 

According to Madhav Aryal, Chairman of Uttargaya Rural Municipality, the rehabilitation work of the displaced persons was stopped after the cancellation of the authority. Since there is a nearby government, the displaced people keep coming to the rural municipality asking for quick resettlement, but the local government does not have enough budget resources to carry out this work. President Aryal says, 'Since there are not enough resources, we are also asking the federal government to solve this problem, but we are confused about how to solve it.' Upendra Lamsal, the former Chairman of Uttar Gaya Rural Municipality, says that the integrated settlements could not be maintained because of the risk of He says, "The situation of the displaced people is very critical, but there is more politics here than it should be." Lamsal did not take initiative. However, the dispute went on for a long time as the displaced people did not leave the pit, and the Nepal government refused to keep it there. He complained that the initiative of the local government alone was not enough, we could not get good support from other parties at that time. IDPs are still suffering due to the weakness of the state's policy and implementing agencies. This is the sad part.

Displaced people who came down from a difficult place, instead of returning to their broken village, they wanted to stay even if it was a bad place. When the government tried to provide 2 lakh rupees per family for the purchase of ghderi, they refused to go elsewhere. In that case, it was not possible to buy 4 annas of ghaderi for 2 lakhs. It was/is very difficult to get a safe place in Rasuwa, which is very cheated by geography. After the earthquake, 109 families went to the neighboring district of Nuwakot and bought Ghaderi and built houses. 

On the other hand, since they have been displaced from Gogane, Tiru, ​​Dandagaon, they have been enrolling school-age children in schools around Vetravati since they started living in temporary shelters. He kept requesting to build an integrated settlement in the vicinity saying that moving from there would affect the education and health of the children. Also, since some agricultural work can be done there, labor and some jobs are also available, the displaced people neither refused to return to the village nor moved from there after they started living here. It is very unfair for the state not to help in rehabilitating the earthquake victims who are stuck with this problem. Bhawani Prasad Neupane, President of District Bhoomi Adhikar Manch Rasuwa, also says that the state should have done the rehabilitation earlier.

It is the responsibility of the state-level agencies to pay attention to the proper rehabilitation of the displaced families who have been living in such a difficult livelihood for years. There are various options for resettlement, including construction of private housing on previously purchased land. The land will be acquired from the land owners who have already published the notice and are ready to give the land. And, all the people of Khalde can be accommodated in the integrated settlement in the lower percentage through the integrated settlement, including those who are exempted. Placing a settlement there will not affect those who are involved in education, health and some jobs. It will be more beneficial. The displaced people are also aware of the risk of potholes, but they are willing to live in Talokaparire, the landowners there are also ready to give the necessary land, but the problem is investment. which the displaced families do not have. They are waiting for the support of the state.
