Honesty, Sincerity and Non-Politicized service is demanded
- Dwarika Pd. Shrestha
Alike the previous Years the New Year 2072 B.S. began with the month of Baisakh. Baisakh is the first month of the year in Nepali Calendar. But who knows that the Baisakh had come with Pandora’s Box, full of Earthquakes and devastation. The month of Baisakh, laid in between April –May according to the English calendar, came quietly and peacefully as usual and nearly half of the month was spent like that. By 12th of the month (25thApril, 2015) Saturday the Pandora’s Box opened and released a mighty Earthquake of 7.8 Richter scale in the town affecting most of the areas in and around the Capital – Kathmandu. The quake claimed thousands of lives and destroyed lots of properties including the historical monuments, temples, palaces, public as well as private buildings, roads and lands worth billions of rupees. The destruction continued because the big shock of 12th Baisakh was being followed by more than hundred aftershocks.
Another earthquake: On 29th day of the month (12th May, 2015), Tuesday the Box released second mighty earthquake of 6.3 Richter scale again. The effect of that shock being accompanied by another more than hundred aftershocks helped destroy and damage many other properties as mentioned above and claimed another thousands of lives, with special effect in the districts like Dolakha, Ramechhap, Gorkha, Sindhuly, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and Kathmandu and some other areas of the country. Today is the 26th day of the bad happenings began with. The shocks are still continued in the areas and threatening the people and structures in the capital and around. By now the inhabitants have felt more than 250 shocks. The shocks were jolting down the areas more than 3 to 4 times every day. The casualties have exceeded 8200. The loss of logistics, lands and other properties was valued to billions of rupees. Proper evaluation is yet to be done. No any experts related to the calamity could have forecast properly yet when the continuation of the jolts could stop.
Global Co-operation: The bad days in Nepal were not worth seeing. Many countries of different continents in the world have assured to assist Nepal up to their best possible capacity. In the meantime, many friendly countries’ people of Europe, Asia or America have already reached to the victims even at remote places with tents, foods, medicines, money and other necessary clothes, while many other are still expected to reach to the spot very soon. The relief materials, funds and technologies are still pouring in the country. Still there are some other billionaires in the world who have already committed to help build up necessary houses to the sufferers in Nepal. In other hand, the distribution of relief fund, materials, medicines, tents and other among the sufferers in different tremor affected areas were going on under the supervision of the Government machineries but were sadly commented by the sufferers and other agents. The system was politically biased, they said. Many of the sufferers who could not have reached closer to any political party member have been ignored partly or completely, they added.
Be honest to needy people: Nepal, the small developing country is poor, of course. But on the contrary, she is full of rich resources, which is badly ignored and managed by the quickly raised and quick popularity seeking experts, legislatures and leaders. Therefore, lack of experience, study, visions, honesty ‘n sincerity to the people and the nation were the great defaults of the senior / junior political activists, experts in the country. They were not found sincere ‘n honest to the vow they had made to the people while campaigning for votes in the election, they claimed. The honest, sincere and non politicized management was badly needed at this moment.
Lesson: The present 2072 calamity has taught us a good lesson, which stated that like the high raised apartment buildings, which were found faulty in the present context of geographic, engineering and economic status, the quickly raised politicians, experts also couldn’t prove themselves equally helpful in the national context of economy and politics. Let us pray that a good person could come and join us for the better tomorrow.
