नाकाबन्दीको तिन महिना पुरा, सकश र पिडा मात्रै ।

मधेशी मोर्चाको बन्दमा सर्वसधारण ।

नाकास्थल धर्ना दिदै मोर्चाका कार्यकर्ता ।

पुस ६ पर्सा
जियालाल साह
मधेशी मोर्चाले वीरगंजको नेपाल भारत सिमाना मितेरी पुलमा गरेको सिमा नाकाको धर्ना आज ३ महिना पुरा भएको छ । संयुक्त लोकतान्त्रिक मधेशी मोर्चा लगायतकाले आफना प्रमुख मुद्दा सिमांकन हेरफेर गर्नुपर्ने माग राख्दै गरेको आन्दोलन विरोध सभा, आम हडताल, चक्का जाम, राजमार्ग बन्द हुदै नेपाल भारत सिमानाकाको प्रमुख नाकामा धर्ना दिने कार्यक्रम सम्म पुग्दा देशले खर्बै रुपैयाको घाटा बेहोरिसकेको छ । मोर्चाले आसोज महिनाको ७ गतेबाट सुरु गरेको दशगजाँ क्षेत्रको धर्ना आज ३ महिना पुगिसक्दा भारतबाट वीरगंज भएर आउनुपर्ने कुनैपनि माल समान बोकेका ट्रक, कन्टेनरहरु भित्रिन सकेका छैनन् ।
नेपालको प्रमुख नाकाको रुपमा रहेको वीरगंज भंसार कार्यलयले ३ महिनाको दैरानमा आफ्नो लक्ष्यको २४ अर्ब ७६ करोड भन्दा बढी रुपैया राजश्व गुमाएको छ । साउन देखि मंसिर सम्मको ३९ अर्ब ४५ करोड ३० लाख ६६ हजार रुपैया राजश्व संकलन गर्ने लक्ष्य लिएको वीरगंज भन्सार कार्यालय १४ अर्ब ६८ करोड ६९ लाख ४५ हजार मात्रै संकलन गरेको छ । भन्सार कार्यालयले मात्रै २ सय ६८ प्रतिशत राजश्व घाटा बेहोरेको छ ।
भारतिय चालकहरुले आफना गाडि भारत पठाईदिन भन्दै वीरगंजस्थित भारतिय दुतावासको गेट अगाडी धर्ना दिईराख्दा प्रसाशनले भारतिय कस्टमसंग समन्वय गरेर कार्तिक १६ गते बल प्रयोग गरेर वीरगंज भन्सार एरियामा रहेको भारतिय गाडी भारत फिर्ता पठाएका थिए । तर २ सय भन्दा बढी गाडी भारत गईराख्दापनि भारतीय कस्टमले कुनैपनि गाडि नेपाल पठाउन चाहेनन् । भारतीय कस्टमले तपाईहरु गाडी पठाउनुस हामी विचार गर्छैँ भन्दै नेपाल पठाउने कुनैपनि पठाएनन् । बरु उल्टै प्रहरीले बल प्रयोग गरेको भन्दै वीरगंजमा दिनभर प्रदर्शन र दोहोरो झडप हुदैँ एक जना भारतिय नागरिक आशिष कुमार रामको समेत मृत्यु हुन पुग्यो । तथापि पर्सा प्रशासनले राजमार्ग तथा दशगजा क्षेत्रमा अवरुद्ध गर्नेलाई बल प्रयोग गरेर भएपनि भारतबाट समान भित्राउन इच्छा जनाएपनि भारतिय कस्टमले माथिको आदेश भन्ने रुष्ट जवाफ फर्काउदै गर्दा न त प्रशासनले दशगजा क्षेत्रबाट आन्दोलनकारीलाई हटाउन पहल गर्यो न त भारतिय कस्टमले पठाउने वातावरण मिलायो ।
सिमांकनमा रुष्ट हुदै थालिएको आन्दोलन मोर्चा अब ११ बुदेमा पुगेको छ । आन्दोलनको १ सय ३० दिन भयो यसविचमा सरकार र मधेशी मोर्चाविच पटक पटक वार्ता भएपनि खासै कुनैपनि ठोस पहल हुन सकेको छैन् । हिन्दुहरुको महान चाडपर्व दशैँ, तिहार, छठ सबै विते तर आन्दोलन वितेका छैनन् । विधार्थीहरुले झण्डै ४ महिना पढ्न पाएनन् तर आन्दोलन रुकेनन । तिन महिनादेखि धर्नामा बस्नेहरु थाकिसकेका छन् तर न त सरकारले कुनै पहल गर्न सकेको छ न त मोर्चाले आन्दोलनको विराम दिने कुनै योजना बनाएको छ । बरु पटक पटक मोर्चाको पहलमा अझ शसक्त आन्दोलनको कार्यक्रमहरु सार्वजनिक हुदैँ गएको छ ।

Police in south Nepal fire at protesters; Indian man killed

Monday November 2, 2015 03:02 PM

By BINAJ GURUBACHARYA, Associated Press  

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Police shot Monday at ethnic protesters who attacked a police station with gasoline bomb and stones on Nepal's southern border, killing an Indian man who was among the attackers, Nepalese officials said.
Police official Raju Bahadur Shrestha said six officers at the police station were injured. "One of our officers was almost burnt to death, we managed to rescue him," Shrestha said.

TODAY'S SPONSOR:

Shrestha said the man killed was an Indian involved in the attack, identified as Ashish Kumar Ram. Earlier, Indian police official Rakesh Kumar had said the man was on his way to the Nepalese town of Birgunj.
The attack happened about 300 meters (980 feet) inside Nepalese territory. People from Nepal and India are not required to have documents or visas to cross the border.
The ethnic Madhesi protesters say Nepal's new constitution unfairly divides the group into a number of states, diluting their political power. They want a larger state and more political representation. The protesters have imposed a general strike in southern Nepal and blocked the main border crossing between Birgunj in Nepal and Raxaul in India, resulting in a severe fuel shortage across Nepal. At least 45 people have been killed in the protests since August.
The Madhesi ethnic group has close cultural ties to India, whose officials have raised concerns about the new constitution's treatment of ethnic minorities.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called his Nepalese counterpart, Khadga Prasad Oli, to condemn the killing, an Indian government statement said.
Modi urged Nepal's leaders to find an early solution to the crisis, it said.
"Issues facing Nepal are political in nature and cannot be resolved by force. Causes underlying the present state of confrontation need to addressed by the government of Nepal credibly and effectively," Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup said in New Delhi.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said Monday the U.S. was encouraging all Nepalis to engage in the democratic process through peaceful means, and for security forces to exercise "appropriate restraint."
She also urged Nepal's leaders to reach an accommodation that builds the broadest possible support for the constitution.
Earlier Monday, Nepalese police were able to clear protesters from the border point, allowing more than 200 trucks and vehicles to cross over to India. However, hundreds of protesters were back at the bridge and completely blocked the border.
Police official Hobindra Bogati said five protesters were detained when police removed them and the tents they had pitched in the no man's land between the two countries. He said that 205 trucks and other vehicles had crossed from Birgunj to Raxaul, India.
However, trucks bringing fuel and other goods to Nepal were still blocked by Indian customs officials.
An indefinite curfew has been imposed in Birgunj.
On Sunday, talks between the government and Madhesi representatives made some progress.
Deputy Prime Minister Kamal Thapa said the government would address the Madhesis' demand for a larger state through discussions with other political parties.
Initially, the government insisted that the matter of the size of states be resolved through a government-appointed commission, but Thapa said it would be discussed as a political issue, as demanded by the protesters.
The government also agreed to the United Democratic Madhesi Front's demands that families of killed protesters be given compensation, that the government pay for medical care for the injured, and that cases against the jailed be withdrawn.

Police in south Nepal fire at protesters; Indian man killed

Monday November 2, 2015 03:02 PM

By BINAJ GURUBACHARYA, Associated Press  

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Police shot Monday at ethnic protesters who attacked a police station with gasoline bomb and stones on Nepal's southern border, killing an Indian man who was among the attackers, Nepalese officials said.
Police official Raju Bahadur Shrestha said six officers at the police station were injured. "One of our officers was almost burnt to death, we managed to rescue him," Shrestha said.

TODAY'S SPONSOR:

Shrestha said the man killed was an Indian involved in the attack, identified as Ashish Kumar Ram. Earlier, Indian police official Rakesh Kumar had said the man was on his way to the Nepalese town of Birgunj.
The attack happened about 300 meters (980 feet) inside Nepalese territory. People from Nepal and India are not required to have documents or visas to cross the border.
The ethnic Madhesi protesters say Nepal's new constitution unfairly divides the group into a number of states, diluting their political power. They want a larger state and more political representation. The protesters have imposed a general strike in southern Nepal and blocked the main border crossing between Birgunj in Nepal and Raxaul in India, resulting in a severe fuel shortage across Nepal. At least 45 people have been killed in the protests since August.
The Madhesi ethnic group has close cultural ties to India, whose officials have raised concerns about the new constitution's treatment of ethnic minorities.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called his Nepalese counterpart, Khadga Prasad Oli, to condemn the killing, an Indian government statement said.
Modi urged Nepal's leaders to find an early solution to the crisis, it said.
"Issues facing Nepal are political in nature and cannot be resolved by force. Causes underlying the present state of confrontation need to addressed by the government of Nepal credibly and effectively," Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup said in New Delhi.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said Monday the U.S. was encouraging all Nepalis to engage in the democratic process through peaceful means, and for security forces to exercise "appropriate restraint."
She also urged Nepal's leaders to reach an accommodation that builds the broadest possible support for the constitution.
Earlier Monday, Nepalese police were able to clear protesters from the border point, allowing more than 200 trucks and vehicles to cross over to India. However, hundreds of protesters were back at the bridge and completely blocked the border.
Police official Hobindra Bogati said five protesters were detained when police removed them and the tents they had pitched in the no man's land between the two countries. He said that 205 trucks and other vehicles had crossed from Birgunj to Raxaul, India.
However, trucks bringing fuel and other goods to Nepal were still blocked by Indian customs officials.
An indefinite curfew has been imposed in Birgunj.
On Sunday, talks between the government and Madhesi representatives made some progress.
Deputy Prime Minister Kamal Thapa said the government would address the Madhesis' demand for a larger state through discussions with other political parties.
Initially, the government insisted that the matter of the size of states be resolved through a government-appointed commission, but Thapa said it would be discussed as a political issue, as demanded by the protesters.
The government also agreed to the United Democratic Madhesi Front's demands that families of killed protesters be given compensation, that the government pay for medical care for the injured, and that cases against the jailed be withdrawn.
