मधेसी चाहता है भारत जल विकास करे


  • मधेसी चाहता है भारत जल विकास करे। 
  • मधेसी चाहता है नेपाल समृद्ध हो। 
  • जिस तरह चीन मानता है कि ब्रम्हपुत्र चीन, भारत और बंगलादेश की साझा नदी है ठीक उसी तरह नेपाल की प्रत्येक नदी नेपाल और भारत की साझा नदी है, ऐसा मधेसी का मानना है। अगर वही नदी नेपाल में भी है और भारत में  भी तो वो साझा कैसे नहीं हुइ?
  • मधेसी चाहता है नेपाल के नदियों से १००,००० मेगावाट बिजली निकाल्ने में भारत सक्रिय भुमिका खेले ताकि नेपाल, सिक्किम, पश्चिम बंगाल, बिहार, उत्तर प्रदेश, उत्तराखंड जगमग जगमग हो उठे। 
  • मधेसी चाहता है कुछ ऐसा किया जाए कि पीने का पानी पुरे उपमहाद्वीप में प्रचुर मात्र में रहे। अभी और ५० साल बाद भी। 
  • मधेसी चाहता है मधेस में व्यापक शहरीकरण और औद्योगीकरण हो ताकि पहाड़ से लोग काम खोजते हुवे मधेस आवे और दुर विदेश भटकने से अच्छा देश में ही काम करने का मौका उनको मिले। मधेसी चाहता है पहाड़ में ७०% फारेस्ट कवर का लक्ष्य रहे। 
  • मधेसी चाहता है नेपाल, भारत, भुटान, बंगलादेश का आर्थिक एकीकरण।

Nepal Government Responds To Criticism

From the horse’s mouth by Leela Mani Paudyal
command centers at the central level under the secretary of Ministry of Home Affairs and in districts under Chief District Officers were established within two hours of the first earthquake on April 25 ...... trained security personnel were deployed and helicopters sent for search and rescue operations in all the affected districts immediately. ........ Central Disaster Relief Committee meeting followed by the meeting of secretaries took place on the same afternoon and it took more than a dozen important decisions to mobilize resources for search and rescue. On the same day, all agencies dealing with essential services like communication, power, road, water supply and transportation, etc. were asked to run 24/7. Water supply was a bit sluggish, as were transportation and power service. The delay in resuming road maintenance and water supply was due to the unavailability of many skilled operators who were themselves victims of the disaster. On the other hand, the communication sector was among the quick respondents. ........ Many public servants resumed their service, risking their lives, even amidst repeated aftershocks. An electrical worker fell off a pole in Kathmandu while repairing transmission line due to an aftershock. But major road blockades were cleared by Sunday evening, power in many places in Kathmandu Valley had resumed by that time, and communication improved a lot. Around 22,500 public servants, 65,000 army personnel, 45,000 police and 25,000 Armed Police Force were at work by Sunday afternoon. ........ we have rough data from the VDCs about the number of affected households, schools and health posts that collapsed as well as public utilities that were damaged. ..... Recently, we have deployed about 1,800 officers in 14 affected districts, along with an 11-member team including doctors and engineers for each VDC. ....... This team will help control post disaster epidemic, collect data of losses, distribute relief materials and prepare physical plan. ....... Teams led by secretaries at the district level and joint secretaries in each constituency were deputed on the fourth day of the disaster. This is the highest-level deployment ever at the local level. As of today, altogether 56 joint secretaries and 14 secretaries are mobilized for this. ........ Our public servants were involved in search, rescue, treatment and maintenance of public utilities. ........ Transport entrepreneurs' apathy to the trouble of commoners after earthquake was a shocking phenomenon in a civilized society. There was similar response from the suppliers/manufacturers of essential services. People working there could not demonstrate magnanimity in these troubled times. ......... Even after facing this great tragedy some people were engaged in self-serving activities. Essential service providers, almost all, were out of business in Kathmandu after April 25 demanding water, tents, transportation and other essentials services from the government. How a poor government can supply all those services without their help? ........ We have requested every individual and organization to coordinate with CDOs at district level. One can help CDOs to make sure relief materials reach the needy. There have been false media reports about the government trying to control individual efforts, barring private sector's efforts, etc. Same bloggers used derogatory words against the government. ..... The PM's Fund is used in relief and rescue. The major contributor of this fund is the Government itself. A separate window is created to ensure quick release of fund in case of emergency without any hassles under present budgetary system. The record from the past several years proves that a ninety five percent of the contribution is from government's treasury. This goes through three channels and is fully accounted for and audited by Auditor General and is scrutinized by the CIAA in case of discrepancies.......... But we believe that no one can collect donations in the name of disaster from general public without prior government approval. This is the law of the land. ...... If the people of social and political stature derogate, demoralize, haggle with and try to use public officials for petty/personal or institutional benefit, the efficiency of this moderately operating system will be affected. ......... Some of you have lauded foreign workers while underrating national response. ...... Glorifying outsiders or non-governmental sector and belittling national system only strengthens outsiders and weakens the country. ............. Let us make government system strong and capable by joining hands with it, and making it accountable. ....... With the help of civil society, learned people and private sector working together, the government can hope to ensure equitable distribution. Otherwise, the powerful will continue to grab more and more, at the cost of the deprived. ....... With a stronger government, our national capabilities to deal with foreigners will be strengthened.


I get the impression he has attempted to dodge some of the concrete questions that have been raised. There is a vague appeal to work together. And there is no concrete proposal for a new level of transparency.

What Do You Make Of This?

 Doctor warns 2nd wave of deaths could hit Nepal
Nepal is desperately poor. Its hospitals are overcrowded with earthquake survivors who need urgent medical treatment, and the threat of infectious disease, given the dismal circumstances at the overstrained facilities, is real and mounting. .... With clean water in short supply, what Barley's really worried about now is infection and disease. ...... "Just about anything you can get in the tropics, they'll be getting," Barley warned of the coming weeks for the survivors. "The number of people that may die from that can be bigger than the original problem of the buildings falling down." ..... the tent cities that have sprung up around the capital could become breeding grounds for infectious disease.
कुनै महामारी हुँदैन, हल्ला नपत्याउनुस्
स्वस्थ्य मानिसको शवले कुनै रोगव्याधी ल्याउँदैन ...... भूकम्पको साना धक्का कम हुँदै गएपछि वितण्डाको थप भय घटिरहेको छ। तर महामारी फैलिने अनुमान र हल्लाले अर्को डर फैलिएको छ। काठमाडौं उपत्यका छाडेर जिल्ला जानेको लर्को छ। ...... फोहोरले दुर्गन्ध मात्र ..... फोहोर थुप्रिएर डुंगुर हुँदै गयो। फोहोर कुहिएर झोल बग्न थाल्यो र त्यो पिउने पानीमा मिसियो भने संक्रमण हुन सक्छ। यसबाट जोगिने उपाय पनि पानीलाई शुद्ध बनाएर खाने नै हो। ...... भुँइचालोमा अधिकांश स्वस्थ मानिस बितेका हुन्। उनीहरूको शरीरमा कुनै रोगको किटाणु हुँदैन। शरीरलाई गाल्दै लाने ब्याक्टेरियाबाट महामारी फैलिने भन्ने हुँदैन। ....... सिन्धुपाल्चोक जिल्लामा मात्रै २५ सय भन्दा बढीको मृत्यु भएको खवर आइसकेको छ। गोठमा बाँधिएका गाई, भैंसी, खसी, बाख्रा मानिस झन् ठूलो संख्यामा मरेको हुनुपर्छ। अहिलेको पानी ती मृत जनावर भएर बगेर सानो सानो भलमा परिणत हुनसक्छ। त्यो भल पानीको मुहानमा पुग्छ र संक्रमण हुनसक्छ।
