Sita Darzi: The toilet broke down, medicine expenses stopped

The work of widening the road during Butwal-Narayangadh section expansion has encouraged many people. Many people hope that the wide highway will change the appearance of the city and make it easier to travel. But this news did not give any happiness to 51-year-old Sita Darzi of Butwal-10.

  Because during the expansion of this road, the public toilet on the east side of the highway intersection in Butwal was destroyed. It was the same toilet, whose cleaning and maintenance he made a fortune from.

Sita's source of income has been lost due to the collapse of the toilet during the highway expansion. But this is the thing that haunts him every day. Sita, who is suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and stone disease, said, 'Sometimes it feels like it. And eventually I get to see the place where I worked.'

Sita had a different daily life for years until this toilet was closed. She used to wake up at four in the morning and reach the toilet after walking for half an hour. She used to clean the toilet before leaving Butwal and nearby passenger vehicles for long and short distances. For about 22 years, she had been doing this work to earn medicine and household expenses.

'Since the toilet was destroyed, I have not even spent medicine,' she said sadly. At such times, his mind does not stay at home. She spends the whole day at the highway intersection and returns to the tin shop in Buddhanagar in the evening.

is 10 years ago. She had started daily savings in the Supreme Savings and Loan Cooperative, whose main office is 200 meters west of the toilet. "Sometimes they collected three lakhs, sometimes five hundred and three lakhs," she said, "They used to withdraw money when they wanted, but now when they got sick, they found out that the employees of the cooperative ran away."

These are the saviors of the cooperative, who is having fun? 

Sita, who has been struggling with the disease, has faced many surprises in the last eleven years. After suffering from stones, she went to New Delhi, India a year ago and underwent surgery. "My earnings were not enough during the surgery," she said, "I took a loan of 70,000 rupees." On the other hand, the co-operative ran away with the money, and on the other hand, I had to take a loan because I could not pay for the treatment. This also added pain to Sita's heart.

Sita's husband was a cleaning employee of Butwal sub-metropolitan city. Even the husband used to ride in the garbage collection truck of the city. Sita Shounchalaya Rungithan. Sita raised a son and a daughter sitting in the bathroom. Her husband died of heart attack 8 years ago. The daughter did not marry a young man from Deepnagar in Butwal. She told that she had sent her son to Bahrain for foreign employment to remind him to pass the time by crying. Sita, who was worried after the money she deposited in Supreme, got more worried after the toilet collapsed. She has heard that the municipality will put a mobile toilet in the same place. She did not say, 'Oh, to hire a new employee in Ghumti Shaunchalaya,' she did not say, 'Where should I go?' I used to understand the fixed amount for defecating people. She used to pay 6,000 monthly to the municipality and collect her share. "It's been two and a half months, I don't have money to buy medicine," she said, "I can't beg on the street, I have no means of earning." "I spent the rest of my life cleaning toilets and waiting," she said, "now I can't do hard work because of the disease."

Due to the lack of regular income, he has now started to worry about pulses and rice. He has another problem because he does not have money to buy medicine even though his neighbors have cultivated him with pulses and rice. She said, "A lot of money is required for medicine every month," she said, "It costs 200 rupees to buy one medicine, and 1,000 rupees more per month for other medicines." There is no way to raise that thousand rupees.'
