She was looking at her old town with a knot in her heart. She became emotional remembering the moments she played in her childhood, enjoyed with her friends and sawing grass, cutting grass and washing clothes. Meena Kafle Dahal, who returned to the village after 24 years of migrating from Choubise Rural Municipality-3 Kurule, was narrating the scenes of the past like a movie before her eyes when she reached her birth place.

She migrated to Biratnagar in the year 2059 and says that when she returned to the village after years, she felt atyas at first . In the past, Annapat was grown on his 60 plant land. Now the jungle is gaining an empire. His birth house and nearby work house are also limited to ruins. 

"It was very painful to see the old house in ruins," she said. "Now I will return to the village regularly, I am planning to live in both the Madhesh and the hills," she said.

Moreover, not only the caravan, 42 people who left the village years ago and migrated have returned to the village at the same time. Those who have moved to Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Morang, Sunsari, Dhankuta etc. are planning to return to their village. Those who have migrated to other places while being deprived of drinking water and road facilities have now reached the basic facilities when they return to the village . And they regret that they had to leave the village.  Emigrants making plans to return to their villages

Those who returned in this way have exchanged happiness by holding a reunion program at Gundukedanda on 4th. Local Public Interest Good Governance Club and Tamor Permaculture Organization are among the gatherings for the reunion. 

Motorway has reached every village . With the arrangement of electricity, drinking water and health posts, there has been an incomparable physical development on the scale of the past. There are regular transport vehicles running through Mulghat to Kurule via Tamor Corridor and Bhedetar-Ravi-Ranke road. 

Durgamajhi Dewan, who migrated to Bhaktapur 30 years ago, is surprised to see the development of the village. After 14 years in this period, he reached the village . Formerly Kuruletenupa-6 and current Chaubise Rural Municipality-3 Dewan of Sogum has about 50 ropani land . So far, most of the land has been earned by others, but he said that he has not received any income from it. 'Now I will earn on my own initiative,' he said, 'I am thinking of returning to the village and doing agricultural work within this year.' Sadde's house was destroyed during migration and is in ruins. About 50 acres of their land is barren. Even the cultivated land cannot be protected due to the existence of bushes and forests. Trital says that he had to migrate due to the extreme problem of drinking water.

Bhojkumar Kafle of Tamor Permaculture, an activist, said that after hearing the news from the media about the extreme migration, they gathered everyone and reunited them because they had raised a clamor to return to the village. Gopikrishna Bhandari, the coordinator of the local water supply project, said that most of the settlements have become empty due to the wave of migration in the last one and a half decades. "After the extreme problem of food and water and moving away from the service facilities, the migration came like a flood", Bhandari said, "After the implementation of the plans to prevent it, the attention of those who have gone out is being drawn."  Emigrants making plans to return to their villages

Local Arun Subedi, who is also a foreign expert, says that it is necessary to utilize the vacant land after migration. He has also reached Kuruletenupa from Kathmandu during the reunion. He said that a planned program of cultivating fruits such as peaches, pears and pears should be carried out on barren land. He said that they will work together to establish wine and other industries by processing fruits.

According to village sources, 300 families have been displaced in Kuruletenupa, which is included in Chaubise-3 and 4 wards. Bajthala area is also becoming empty . Most of the houses in Andheri village are empty. In other affected villages, 90 percent of the settlements are empty.
