The fire engine that was vandalized in Chandannath Municipality during the Genji protest on Bhadra 24 has not yet been repaired. If the fire engine is not repaired, it will be difficult to control the fire if it breaks out. The fire engine has been idle for three months.
During the protest, ambulances, hearses, vehicles used by public representatives and employees, and fire engines were vandalized. Although the vehicles used by public representatives and employees, ambulances, and hearses have been repaired and are back in operation, the fire engines are still not being repaired.
Rawal Workshop owner Vindas Rawal said that the fire engine was sent to the garage for repair only a week ago. ‘The front glass of the fire engine has been removed,’ Rawal said, ‘It was delayed because some items had to be ordered.’ But the fire engine will be repaired in the next week.
Locals are angry that the repair of highly sensitive equipment like fire engines has been delayed. Local Harka Bahadur Rokaya said that the public representatives should prioritize the repair of ambulances, hearses, and fire engines. ‘But the mayor and deputy mayor quickly built only the vehicles they would use,’ he said, ‘negligence was seen in the means of public concern.’
Locals complain that it is unfortunate that fire engines used in sensitive situations like firefighting have not yet been built. ‘People’s representatives have become focused on their own benefits rather than serving the citizens,’ complained Dhan Bahadur Thapa of Chandannath-6.
Raj Bahadur Khatri of Chandannath Municipality-10 emphasized that fire engine maintenance should be a matter of direct concern to the common citizen. ‘The mayor and deputy mayor of the municipality built the vehicles they would use for their service, but did not build the fire engines that would serve the citizens. What could be more ironic than this?,’ he asked.
Chief Administrative Officer of Chandannath Municipality, Khestra Bahadur Budthapa, claimed that the fire engine is in the process of being repaired. "Other vehicles were repaired quickly because the parts were available in Nepal, but the fire engine parts are being delayed because they have to be brought from Delhi, India," he said. Women's rights activist Dilmaya Shahi said that the delay in repairing essential equipment like fire engines is not only an administrative weakness but also a sign of insensitivity towards the lives and property of citizens.
The fire engine has been stuck at Rawal Workshop in Chandannath-6 for a week. The municipality's dozer, ambulance, hearse, dozer, jeep, Hilex car and Scorpio were vandalized in the name of Genji protest. 11 motorcycles and scooters were also vandalized, and computers, LCDs, integrated service system token machines, digital citizen charters, printers, dispensers, furniture and municipal police equipment inside the office were also destroyed.
