Salina Sejuwal, 16, of Pachaljharna-4 Ramnakot, obtained citizenship from Raskot, near her home.
She obtained citizenship from the area administration office that came into operation in Raskot-5 RCP Bazaar on Monday. 'I had to spend at least 5,000 to get citizenship and go to Manm,' said Salina, who is awaiting the results of her SEE, 'It has become easier to get services from near her home.' She said that earlier, she had to travel from Pachaljharna to Raskot, Sannatriveni, and Narharinath to get citizenship.
Pachaljharna is a local level connected to Raskot. She said that both time and money have been saved after the area administration came near her home. Her father Khadgaraj Sejuwal, who accompanied his daughter to obtain her citizenship, said that although the distance is shorter than the district headquarters Manma, it is difficult for residents of Palata and Pachaljharana rural municipalities to avail services unless there is a direct vehicle to Raskot.
‘Direct vehicles to Manma are available from Jajarkot and Ghatparichaur,’ he said. ‘It is difficult for the general public to come as there is no vehicle that runs to Raskot.’ He said that the municipality should arrange direct transportation for residents of the local level of Raskot Bari who come to avail services including citizenship.
Rokaya, a 78-year-old surgeon from Syuna, Raskot-5, is happy to receive a copy of his citizenship in his village. Rokaya, who was unable to renew his senior citizen allowance after losing his citizenship a year ago, received his citizenship from the area administration office that opened near his home on Monday. Rokaya, who has a leg disability, said that he was unable to renew his social security as he could not go to the district headquarters Manma to obtain a copy of his lost citizenship.
Sarjan, who first obtained citizenship from the district headquarters Manma on 2048 Falgun 6, said happily after receiving citizenship in his village, ‘The dream of obtaining citizenship from my own village has finally been fulfilled.’ According to him, there was talk of shifting the district headquarters of Kalikot, a younger district formed after separating from Jumla in 2034, from Manma to Raskot, but it was not possible. The then National Panchayat member Dharmadatta Upadhyay had initiated the move of the district headquarters to Raskot, which has dense population, suitable geography, and good agricultural production, by submitting a petition to the royal court from 2040 to 2045.
There are 9 local levels in Kalikot, which is divided into two parts by the Tila and Karnali rivers. The area administration office started its service in Raskot from Monday, benefiting 50,000 residents of Palata, Pachaljharana, Sannitriveni rural municipality and Raskot municipality, which are far from the district headquarters Manma due to geographical remoteness.
Only residents of Khadachakra and Tilagufa municipalities, Shubhakalika, Mahabai and Narharinath rural municipalities will receive services from the district administration in the district headquarters of Manma. Assistant District Administrator Janak Sharma said that the area administration of Raskot will reduce the pressure of service recipients in the district administration of Manma.
He said that the district administration in Manma issues 50/60 citizenships daily, and up to 200 citizenships are distributed daily immediately after the SEE results and during Dashain. According to him, the area administration will provide services such as new citizenship, copy, national identity card, backward areas, Khas Arya recommendation, etc.
Civil society leader Tikaraj Upadhyay said that by getting the services provided by the district administration from Raskot, 3,000 vehicle fares and 2,000 other expenses will be saved. 'Money has also been saved. Time has also been saved,' he said.
On Monday, the Area Administration Office issued new citizenship cards to four people, copies to six people, and national identity cards to 12 people, while a minor identity card was distributed to one person and national identity cards to two, said Acting Branch Officer Nawaraj Bam.
The new building of the Area Administration Office, which is being operated by renting the house of Ward Chairman Man Tiruwa of Raskot-5, will be completed by Asad, said Pradya Gokarna Raj Suyal. He informed that six staff positions have been approved for the area administration.
