Residents of Beas in Darchula say: We had to go our own way to get food. We have to bear the brunt of the fact that the basic needs of the citizens cannot be met, but the issue of borders is always raised.
What you should know
Beas Rural Municipality of Darchula is the most famous place due to Kalapani, Lipulek and Limpiyadhura areas. There, Changaru and Tinkar villages are included in Ward No. 1 of the rural municipality. But there is no footpath to reach Changru and Tinkar, which is under Nepal's rule, and there is no communication facility to call.
Even now, the citizens of the two villages here reach the village through the Indian road. Due to the blocking of footpaths and lack of communication services, life here has become difficult.
It is 10 kilometers from Changru to reach Tinkar village. The footpath is now blocked from Changru to reach Tinkar village. Changru and Tinkar were disconnected due to the flood on 28th July. The road from Changru to Tinkar village has been flooded in places. In November, the migration of Tinkar residents has been worried about how to return when Khalanga falls.
Vinodsingh Budhathoki, Ward Secretary of Ward No. 1, says that it is difficult to transport even food grains in the village due to the flooding of the road. Now the local people are eating the old stocks of food. If the condition of the road continues like this, there will be food shortage in the village.
'It is not possible to get a budget from any area immediately for the road, if the road is not built, not only the citizens but also the security personnel will have difficulty in movement, if they get sick, they will not be able to bring it,' said Secretary Budhathoki.
According to local believer Tinkari, there has been no communication in Tinkar village for more than three weeks. The village is without network. Locals are now forced to use a set of security personnel to inform their relatives. You have to walk three hours one way to reach Changru village from Tinkar. Birendra Tinkari, a local, says that even though Nepal Telecom's Namaste phone works in Changaru, the residents of Tinkar are deprived of communication.
There are 70 families living in Tinkar of Beas-1. The citizens of this place moved to Kuncha last May. BOP of Armed Police and Nepal Police are stationed in Chialek than Tinkar. With the disruption of telecom services, even the security personnel have not been able to communicate with their families.
Last year, with the special grant of the federal government, Beas-2 constructed and repaired 20 km road from Dumling to Tobacco, Malpa, Ghatibagad, Bayli, Dopkhe, Pola, Girkisse, Budi Apikhola and Kuntisau. Even now, the walking path is not good for citizens.
According to Vinodsingh Kunwar, Vice Chairman of Rural Municipality, the necessary budget, local and security personnel should be made a road to pass through their land. 'Otherwise, helicopters should be arranged for the citizens here,' he said.
Tourism campaigner Himalaya Bhat Nepal says that it is essential to carry out the development work up to Changru Tinkar at a fast pace to make the claim that the land from Om Parvat to Limpiyadhura is ours practical. According to him, our presence in those areas will be proven only when the construction work accelerates.
Ward president Ashoksingh Bohra said that the three bridge bridges from Changaru to Tinkar village in the rural municipality have been built by security personnel, public representatives and locals with labor donations. According to Bohra, the kathe bridge that was swept across Nampa river and Tinkar river has now been constructed and traffic has started. He said that the road has been opened so that people can walk in some places, but the road has not yet been made for walking with cattle. He said, 'There is a need for a large amount of money for the construction of the road. Two years ago, the village council called for a contract and built a footpath, but after it was completely cut by the flood, Tinkarbasi has become a problem.'
