Dipesh Baniyan was at home when he heard the news that his brother was buried in a landslide in Sisneri Taker, Indrasarovar Rural Municipality-3, Makwanpur. As soon as he heard the news, he immediately ran towards the landslide. When he arrived, there was nothing but a pile of landslides. However, while moving away from the landslide with little hope, he found his brother's head at the beginning. He seemed to catch his breath.
The school boy informed me that his brother was also killed in the landslide. By the time we reached the spot, everything was gone," he says. "While trying to extricate my brother, four more bodies were found." Pian Prakash Chhetri of Vatsladevi Mavi Civil Engineering School in Sisneri Teker had informed Deepesh that six players had been buried in the landslide. Dipesh says that he barely survived when the landslide happened again while removing the buried body. Other bodies were later recovered by rescue workers.
Deepesh's brother Diwas Baniyan of Sisneri Taker, Anupam Ghalan of Hetaunda-12, Simon Yonjan of Makwanpurgarhi Rural Municipality, Aditya Balampaki of Sarlahi, Priyans Acharya of Kathmandu and Vikal Regmi of Nijgarh died in the landslide. The 6 deceased are players of the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) Academy U-14 camp. ANFA has been running an academy with hostel and residential facilities for 40 players in the U-14 camp since last May at Teker in Sisneri. Saturday's incident has left their dream of becoming national players unfulfilled.
As he was about to leave, Priyans talked to his father Tikaram Acharya to come pick him up on October 14. That was the last conversation between father and son. Father will be on leave from the 16th. It was said on the phone that they should come to collect it on the 14th under the pretense that there is Shraddha at home. That is what is coming. It happened two days ago," Tikaram says, "There was a forward position in football. Played very well. My 11-year-old son was studying in 6th grade.'
After the death of their 13-year-old son Anupam, the head of District Coordination Committee Makwanpur Lalit Bahadur Ghalan couple is in mourning. Although ANFA said that they would bring the body to Hetaunda at 2 pm on Sunday, they were disappointed after getting information that it was not possible due to technical reasons. This incident happened because the environment was panicked when the police were miking to go to a safe place.
A sad situation was created when the management team including the warden of ANFA could not make a decision on time,' Lalit Bahadur said, 'This happened when the academy was operating without the necessary infrastructure and preparation.' Vigilance was requested around the Indrasarovar area. The relatives of the deceased allege that the incident happened when the warden and coach of the said academy tried to drive away the players in the camp through a short route without any preparation. The families of the deceased have accused the academy of being negligent and yet ANFA has not responded even when the children died in the landslide. Instead of investigating the incident, they demand that the body of the deceased should not be exhumed and compensation should also be paid.
This happened due to the negligence of ANFA. They left the children alone in the landslide and drove away. Nothing else, a proper investigation should be done and the guilty should be punished and the family of the deceased should be compensated," said Tikaram, father of the deceased Priyans. The family of the deceased tried to register a complaint against the ANFA at the Metropolitan Police Circle, Maharajganj. Bishnu Acharya, a relative of the deceased Priyans, informed that the police circle refused to register a complaint because of the Makwanpur incident.
