Balhadur Saund of Ramaroshan rural municipality-5 of Achham was seen in a hurry at Gaddachouki checkpoint on Thursday. They are returning home to celebrate Dasain from Almora in Uttarakhand, India.

 

He was in a hurry because the bus was leaving early in the morning  . He was gathering his friends to meet the bus from Gaddachouki crossing to Mahendranagar. 'We are returning home to celebrate Dasain, we have worked for two or four months and collected Dasain expenses and returned home,' Saund said, 'There is a Dasain activity in the village, people are telling us to come early from home.' went for . Ramaroshan's other 21 people who went with him have also returned home. 

It's been five-six years since I started going to Almora in the evening . Before that, he has reached various places including Delhi, Mumbai. He has started going to Almora regularly for the past few years. According to him, wages are found in various development works including road construction and house construction. That's why he goes regularly. 

After planting in June, his annual schedule of going to Bageshwar with his friends from the village has been made. They return home on Dasain and again go to Almora after sowing wheat, then they return home in Chait to bring in wheat and for the New Year Vishu festival . "That's right sir, Sano Tinjo is not happy without going home to collect expenses," Saund said, "He worked for two to four months, returned home, did farming work at home and went back to work." Nepalis are returning home from different parts of India. Carrying heavy loads on their backs, some of them come on foot and some come by car.

"We have come to celebrate Dasain with our family," said Divas Founja of Surkhet, who was about to return home from Bageshwar, "It is like our tradition, we always return home on Dasain." His family including his brother Chitra Bahadur works in Bageshwar. Now everyone is back together to celebrate Dasain. 

After the start of Navratri, the pressure to return home has increased even more. For the last few days, around 1000 Nepali workers are returning from India through the Gaddachouki border. After planting in June/July, the same crowd was seen when entering Uttarakhand and Himachal for employment . They are also more likely to return now.

A civil assistance room has been established for those returning home. But the passengers are cheated by the transport businessmen on both sides of Nepal and India . They say that there are problems like taking flood rent, taking rent of even small items and leaving them in the middle of the road.

Even though the fare from Gaddachouki to Mahendranagar is 50 rupees, auto traders charge up to 100/200 and 4/500 . Passengers are forced to pay double fare openly in front of the security personnel.
