A crusher for excavating stone and gravel is running near the school building, and inside the classroom, classes are taking place. With the loud noise of the crusher neither the students can hear the teacher well nor the teacher can understand the students.

Bethanchok rural municipality-4 located behind Ganesh Basic School in Chalal Ganeshthana, the excavation work in Chalal Ganeshthana Mineral Industry Pvt. Ltd. has affected the education of the school. Karan Magar, who is studying in class 7, said that while studying in the

class, when the excavation work is going on in the mine, it becomes uncomfortable to study. "When the breaker is on in the mine, nothing can be heard of teaching," he said, "The dust from the mine covers the school immediately, it has become very uncomfortable to study." According to her, she said that she could not understand someone's speech due to the noise when the breaker was operated in the mine and she could not read with concentration. A teacher said that when the mine is operating while they are studying, the psychology of the children studying at the child development level will be affected.

When the breaker is operated in the mine, the ground itself shakes. There is a risk that the dust coming out of the mine will affect the health of the students,' said the teacher. There is concern that the local community will be at risk of the settlement along with the school located around the mine .

"Excavation is being done right in front of the house," said local Naxalmaya Tamang, "During the excavation, there is fear that the mound will reach the house." Even though it was carried out with permission, Lila Bahadur Lama is worried that the excavation will cause great damage in the future, putting the settlement at risk. 54-year-old Kuntidevi Dong of Bethan Chowk-4 Chalal Ganesthan said that they always had to live in fear due to the mining and crusher industry operating in the slums.

A local 71-year-old old man also says that the locals are always suffering because of mining and industry. Mines and crushers have been operated near schools, health posts and settlements, he said, "The dust coming out from here has made the locals sick. We don't know what the standards are for its operation, but if it operates in the settlements, we have a problem." The government has also declared the five local levels of Kavre as highly affected as the risk of floods remains. Contrary to the instructions of the District Monitoring Committee, mining and crusher industries have been operating without following the standards.

Bhagwan Adhikari, chairman of Bethanchok Rural Municipality, said that all the three industries have been allowed to operate according to the procedure.
