It has been over 101 days since the Sushila Karki-led government came to power on the strength of the Gen-G movement. But the problems of those injured in the movement have still not been addressed.

Therefore, those who are in the hospital, those who have returned home but are undergoing follow-up, and those who are struggling to return to their old lifestyle after treatment are all dissatisfied with the government. Some of the injured complain that they have not received the expected support from the government for treatment, while others are unhappy with the government's decisions and working style. Prakash Bohora, 27, of Dailekh, who is undergoing treatment at the Trauma Center, has expressed his sorrow on the social media

Facebook, addressing Prime Minister Sushila Karki. 'I am still struggling in bed number 452 at the Trauma Center. I have been watching every move you and your children make through social media. Now I don't even want to question you,' he wrote. We are hearing the news of the auction of ministerial posts, we are hearing the news of double transfers and promotions, questions will keep coming, you will not be able to escape – Prakash Bohora

Bohora says that there is no hope from the government, only regret and worry. He was shot in the left leg during the Gen-G movement on 23 Bhadra. At that time, his shoes, which were left on the road, became famous. ‘Today, the shoes and I have become one, just a state of use and disarray. Is this all the gimmick for? Today, you are the ones who are starting the game of scheming to send me for foreign employment,’ says Bohora.
Bohora also narrated the painful moment he was spending in the hospital. He also raised questions about the controversial appointments made by the government. ‘Today, we are hearing the news of the auction of ministerial posts. We are hearing the news of double transfers and promotions. The questions will keep coming . You will not be able to escape . There should be no attempt to silence, suppress and end our voice, justice is needed,’ he said . Bohora had tried to go abroad yesterday because he was upset by the political atmosphere in the country . ‘But now I am sitting on a hospital bed  and watching . The government has not done as expected even in three months,’ he says .

Yuvraj Upadhyay, 22, of Kailali, who was shot in the stomach and hand on the first day of the Gen-G movement, is now active in social activities along with regular follow-up. He also says that the government has not done the expected work . ‘We have not yet received what we expected from the government . They had said that they would jail the corrupt within five days if they became ministers or prime ministers . But they did not move forward as promised . They are doing the same work as yesterday’s party,’ he says .

It is embarrassing to say that the government was formed on the basis of our movement. Even after 100 days, the government is working in the style of the old party - Yuvraj Upadhyay

Upadhyay said that the government has not taken the repression of the peaceful movement of 23 Bhadra responsibly. He complained that those who fired at the youth walk freely, but the participants in the movement are presented as criminals. Upadhyay complains that the government has not listened to the voices of the injured Gen-G. ‘It is embarrassing to say that the government was formed on the basis of our movement. Even after 100 days, the government is working in the style of the old party,’ he says.

Santosh Waiba, 23, from Lamjung, was shot in the thigh on the first day of the Gen-G movement. Waiba still walks on crutches. He also has many complaints against the government. ‘It seems like there is a lot to say, but who will tell it? The government celebrated its 100 days, but our 100 days passed very sadly. We spent them worrying about our careers and being unemployed,’ says Waiba.

He also said that no action has been taken against the corrupt. He adds, ‘I have heard that an agreement has been reached between the injured and the injured. But I don’t know if that agreement will be fulfilled.’ Waiba says that the government has ignored the injured and the injured. ‘I have heard that some are not even getting free treatment. They have arrested the protesters, and done nothing to the shooters. This same government has suppressed those who were marching to end corruption in the country,’ he says.

Ravi Bhandari, 28, of Sindhuli, who was shot in the leg during the 24 Bhadra protest, had to call various places after the hospital said that they would charge for follow-up treatment. ‘What has this government done for us after we had to beg for free treatment,’ he said, ‘This government has ignored the Gen-G injured.’

Bhandari’s leg treatment is still ongoing. He will have to undergo another operation. He still cannot walk on his feet. But he is also dissatisfied with the government’s classification of the injured. He says that the government has not even thought about the future of the injured. ‘Has this government thought anything about our future? We don’t know when the agreements will be implemented. We should have had a glimmer of hope for all this time. It hasn’t. Who should I tell my story to?’ he says.

18-year-old Santanu Dhakal, who was shot in the cheek during the Gen-G movement on 23 Bhadra in Itahari, is currently undergoing regular follow-up treatment. He, who took science subjects in class 12, has been absent from school since the protests. He is saddened that the government has not paid attention to how to further their education even though many students were injured. Dhakal said that there are no essential facilities for the injured. ‘There are no special facilities for the injured. Even when I have to go to the hospital for follow-up from home, I have to pay my own expenses.’ He adds, ‘I had high expectations but nothing happened.’

The Cabinet approved the working procedure prepared on Mangsir 22 to provide financial assistance and livelihood to those injured during the Gen-G movement and demonstration based on the condition and severity of their disabilities, but the government has not yet classified all the injured. According to the working procedure, a technical committee will be formed under the coordination of the Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Health to classify the injured based on their disabilities, and the committee has arranged to classify the injured as simple, moderate, serious and very serious injuries.

Among the classified injured, arrangements have been made for serious injuries to receive Rs 9,000 per month and extremely serious injuries to receive Rs 18,000 per month as monthly livelihood allowance. Similarly, according to the procedure, arrangements have been made for moderate injuries to receive Rs 4,000 per month.
