Despite the agreement with the government, after the transporters shut down the public transport, the poor citizens who have to go to the hospital for treatment and return home after being discharged from the hospital have been affected. 18-year-old Sangeeta Bik, who was camping in Kalmati, was in a similar situation.
On Tuesday afternoon, she was near the gate of the charity maternity home in Thapathali. In her arms was a two-day-old newborn. Her husband had walked an hour ago to look for a taxi but had not returned. There were about a dozen motorcycles and some taxis outside the gate of the hospital. At other times, most of them, who provide services through ride sharing apps, were seen negotiating to carry passengers offline.
Sangeeta said, "How to get to the camp is not yet decided." If she had not been discharged, she would have stayed in this hospital.
Sangeeta, who was two days pregnant, was wondering when she would be able to reach Dera and rest. But it was not possible to go from the hospital to Dera easily by looking for means. In the courtyard of the maternity home, there were many pregnant women who had been discharged like her, whose relatives or family members had not returned even after going out of the hospital to look for a car.
This was not the only problem for those who were discharged from the hospital . Even those who came to Jenten to the hospital suffered from the ban on public transport. Srijan Aryal, who was camping in Jamal, had to come to the maternity hospital early in the morning. Because the doctors gave him the date of delivery on Tuesday. But when he came to the hospital from the camp, he felt pain.
No vehicles found online, taxis found on the side of the road charge high fares . After wandering around for a long time, she paid 500 rupees and came to the hospital in a private car. She said, "The other day, 300 was enough to pay the rent". Today I had to pay almost double .'
On Monday midnight, the federal government and the National Federation of Transport Professionals agreed to write to the Gandaki government regarding the suspension of the 'ride sharing' regulation, but the transport professionals did not drive public vehicles on Tuesday. In Gandaki province, public transport has been blocked for 5 days, while in other provinces, public transport has been stopped for two days.
