सरकारलाई सुहाङको ध्यानाकर्षण- सहरमा झरी पर्दा गाउँ बग्ने चिन्ता छ

काठमाडौं । एमाले सांसद सुहाङ नेम्वाङले आफ्नो निर्वाचन क्षेत्र इलामका अधुरा सडक र पुलका कारण जनताले खेप्नुपरेको सास्तीबारे सरकारको ध्यानाकर्षण गराएका छन् ।

प्रतिनिधिसभाको बैठकमा उनले वर्षायाम सुरू भएसँगै पहाडी भेगका जनतामा त्रास सुरू भएको बताए । गायक दीप श्रेष्ठको गीत ‘दिनरात सहरमा झरी पर्छ, गाउँमा सायद खेतै बग्यो कि !’ सम्झिँदै उनले सहर र गाउँको पीडाको भिन्नता सदनसमक्ष राखेका छ्न् ।

‘सहरमा हामी समृद्धिको ठूला-ठूला बहसमा छौँ, तर यही संसद भवन बाहिर ठूलो पानी दर्कियो भने मेरो मन सीधै इलाम पुग्छ,’ नेम्वाङले भने, ‘जब पानी दर्किन्छ, तब इलामका पहाडी सडकहरू भत्किन्छन्, पहिरो जान्छ । बिरामी बोकेका एम्बुलेन्स र दैनिक उपभोग्य वस्तु बोकेका सवारी साधन बीच बाटोमै अलपत्र पर्छन् ।’

इलामका अलपत्र परेका आयोजनाको नामै लिएर उनले बजेट र निर्माणको लागि सरकारको ध्यानाकर्षण गराए । राजदुवाली सडक, दमक-चिसापानी सडक, नेपालटार-मंगलबारे सडक, राँके-रवि-भेडेटार सडक, बेलासे सडक र मदन भण्डारी राजमार्ग लगायतका सडक तथा पुलहरू अलपत्र हुँदा हजारौँ जनताले दु:ख पाइरहेको उनको भनाइ छ ।

यी आयोजना समयमा नसक्नुमा बजेटको अभाव, कानुनी उल्झन र ठेकेदारहरूको चरम लापरबाही मुख्य कारण रहेको सुहाङको जिकिर छ । जनताको आक्रोश र पीडा लिएर आफूले मन्त्रालयका धेरै ढोका ढकढक्याएको तर निराशा बोकेर फर्कनुपरेको अनुभव पनि उनले सुनाए ।

‘वर्षा लागेपछि न हामीजस्ता जनप्रतिनिधिहरू सहरमा चैनले निदाउन सक्छौँ, न गाउँमा जनताहरू नै ढुक्कले सुत्न सक्छन्,’ नेम्वाङले भने ।

Kathmandu. UML MP Suhang Nembang has drawn the government's attention to the suffering faced by the people due to unfinished roads and bridges in his constituency, Ilam.

In a meeting of the House of Representatives, he said that with the onset of the rainy season, people in the hilly regions have started to panic. Recalling singer Deep Shrestha's song 'It rains day and night in the city, maybe the fields will be washed away in the village!', he presented the difference in the suffering of the city and the village before the House.

"In the city, we are engaged in a grand debate about prosperity, but if there is heavy water flooding outside the parliament building, my mind immediately goes to Ilam," said Nemwang. "When water floods, the mountainous roads of Ilam collapse and landslides occur. Ambulances carrying patients and vehicles carrying daily necessities get stranded on the road."

He drew the government's attention to the budget and construction of the stalled projects in Ilam by naming them. He said that thousands of people are suffering due to the stalled roads and bridges including Rajduwali Road, Damak-Chisapani Road, Nepaltar-Mangalbare Road, Ranke-Rabi-Bhedetar Road, Belase Road and Madan Bhandari Highway.

Suhang claims that the main reasons for the delay in completing these projects are lack of budget, legal complications and extreme negligence of contractors. He also shared his experience of knocking on many doors of the ministry with the anger and pain of the people, but having to return with disappointment.

"After the rains, neither can people's representatives like us sleep soundly in the city, nor can the people in the villages sleep soundly," said Nemwang.
