A husband and wife from Tanahun Shukla Gandaki Municipality-7, Kharenitar Malebagar, have lost their lives in a Dhading bus accident. Rudra Prasad Dhakal, 60, and his wife Bishnumaya Dhakal, 55, have lost their lives.
According to their relative Pushpa Dhakal, Bishnumaya had been living in Kathmandu for three months after her younger daughter-in-law, a CTEVT employee, was transferred from Pokhara. She came home on 8 Falgun to attend her niece's wedding. Since she would be alone when she returned to Kathmandu, Rudra Prasad decided to drop her wife off and return home after meeting her one-year-old grandson.
‘There is no one else at home, there are goats and buffaloes all over the barn,’ said relative Pushpa Dhakal, ‘They locked the house and left, saying they would return by Monday evening.’
The Dhakal couple’s ticket was also cut by a relative working at the Prithvi Highway Bus Operating Company’s counter in Khairenitar. ‘They were supposed to take the bus earlier than that, but only the back seat was empty,’ said Pushpa Dhakal, ‘They got the middle seat on this bus because it would be difficult to sit in the back.’
According to her, the Dhakal couple’s eldest son is in Germany. Another son, Sabin Dhakal, is in Saudi Arabia. He is returning to Nepal from Saudi Arabia after receiving the news of his parents’ death. The Dhakal couple’s bodies have been kept at the GP Koirala Hospital in Shukla Gandaki.
‘I wasn’t going to leave until Sunday afternoon, my daughter-in-law also said to stay until the election,’ Pushpa said, ‘What happened later? You left because you had to go. When my mother said I couldn’t go alone, I went to get my father.’
