It has been 30 years since Padam Bahadur tailor of Panchkhapan Municipality-7 disappeared. The tailor who disappeared from the village in 2052 has not been found yet. The family had knocked on all the doors to search for him. When Babu Padam Bahadur disappeared, his son Vishnu was 2 years old.

'Father has not come back yet,' says son Vishnu, who is now 28 years old, 'we have looked many ways, searched everywhere. However, we could not find out.' He said that there is no name in the state's list of missing people. The families of those who disappeared during the 10-year conflict of the then CPN-Maoist are still hoping to get justice.

The families of the missing persons are waiting for the return of their missing relatives. Vishnu's family now has 3 members . Padam's wife Chunmaya Darzi is living with her son Vishnu and Jeevan.

Amar Bahadur Katuwal of Pankhpakhan Municipality-3 went missing from the month of March 2058. His daughter Bhagwati Katuwal said that he was accused of cheating. Amar Bahadur has 5 daughters. She said that after her father disappeared, her mother went with someone else. So far, his family has been searching for him. He says that no one else is interested in it.

'It's been 24 years since the disappearance,' she said, 'My father, who was charged with sedition during the conflict, has not come back yet.' Another Amber Bahadur Kalikote of Panchkhapan Municipality-7 has been missing for 2 or 3 decades. Kalikote's 2 sons, 2 daughters and his wife, who went home without saying anything to anyone, are waiting for him to come back. 

They said that due to the absence of an official search process for missing persons, the family is facing various problems including Kazkiria. The families of the victims have asked the government to be aware of the issue of missing citizens. Ward president Santosh Basnet said that Panchkhapan municipality-7 ward has started searching for missing citizens in the ward.

'We have started the search for those who disappeared from the ward at different times, even though it was delayed,' he said, 'there will be an effort to find them.' He said that even though it has been 20 years since the conflict ended through a comprehensive peace agreement, the victims have not yet received justice.

Ward president Basnet said that the relatives of the missing family members who wanted ``ki las ki breath'' had killed them. The family does not even know if the missing persons are dead or alive . Relatives of missing persons in such situations are confused because they do not know where to go to the inquiry commission and how to file a complaint.

Even after 20 years since the end of the conflict, the families of the victims are angry that the government has not heard the cries of the missing families. Suman Shakya, the head of the district coordination committee, said that in the law on disappearances, there is a provision to file a complaint within 3 months of the appointment of the working committee.

'The Disappearance Commission has fixed the time to file a complaint until the next August 5,' he said, 'We have informed all 10 local levels. During this period the number of disappearances is added. Many names of missing families may have been missed here.' After the Disappearance Commission prepared a plan to work in a fair manner after the complaint was filed, the District Coordination Committee has also increased its activity . He said that political parties have also been notified to collect the names of the missing persons. 

Nepal Red Cross Society has the data that the number of people who disappeared during the conflict in Sankhuwasabha is only 7 people. He said that after the investigation commission of the disappeared persons started the first phase of investigation, complaints were invited from the victims who were not able to file a complaint and who were missing.

'Even in the previous commission, the victims who missed out by not being able to file a complaint are still not able to know where, when and how to file a complaint,' he said, 'in this situation, many victims are left out and deprived of getting justice.' He said that the Commission on Disappearances published a notice on June 6 and requested complaints from the people who disappeared from the state and the rebel side during the armed rebellion, and their relatives and victims. 'Until now, many victims have not been able to know the information,' he said, 'that's why we have informed all the local levels, most of the people in the remote areas do not know.'
