It is well known that Meen Bahadur Gurung, who was born in Rawabensi Rural Municipality of Khotang, started from a small grocery store and built the country's largest supermarket Bhatbhateni. In Bhatbhateni, from mother's pickles to dal-rice, milk-yogurt, vegetables, products made in our own farms and industries are available at cheap prices.
That's why Bhatbhateni is not just a supermarket but also a common pillar that is connected to our daily lives, strengthening Nepali production and strengthening the country's economy.
So far, thousands of Nepalis have got direct employment through Bhatbhateni, while millions have got indirect benefits. As foreign capital is fleeing, Gurung has made a significant contribution to make the country self-reliant by investing in various industries from garments and hotels. In addition, he has openly spent his own income on many social services, from the construction of a children's hospital, through which thousands of children have gained a new lease of life and life.
But, sadly, his 40 years of hard work was burnt to ashes within a few hours during the Gen-G demonstration, Bhatbhateni stores in different areas and districts of the country were looted and set on fire. However, he is not afraid, still has the unwavering faith and courage to rise up, still work for the country. Protecting, raising and respecting such entrepreneurs is the common responsibility of the Nepalese government and all of us Nepalis. Bhatbhateni is not only Meen Bahadur Gurung's, it belongs to the Nepali who runs the livelihood of many through thousands of jobs. It is the future of many, ours and good Bhatbhateni is also our pride.
– Karnaraj Katuwal, outgoing president, Khotang Halesi Seva Samaj, Kathmandu
