Banke. The families of Banke who lost their relatives in the devastating floods in Bhotekoshi of Rasuwa are gradually losing hope of finding the breath or body of the missing. They are in confusion and pain as there has been no news even after 70 days of the disappearance of their relatives in the floods.
Anlal Rokaya of Nepalgunj Sub-Metropolitan City-20, Thapuwa, said that the whereabouts of the relatives who went missing after the floods in Bhotekoshi on August 26 are still unknown. His brother, sister-in-law and son had gone missing in the flood.TAG_OPEN_div_42
“It has been more than 70 days, neither the breath nor the body of our missing person has been found. Now the hope of finding the breath and the body is dying,” he said, “The report of the DNA test has not even come. If the government declares the death, we are thinking of performing the death rites.” ”
He said that the pain of not being able to perform the last rites of his relatives has added to the pain. This year’s Dashain and Tihar became even more painful for him as there was no news of the disappearance. He said that during the festivals, the memories of his brother, sister-in-law and son used to haunt him.TAG_OPEN_div_38
Sher Singh Rokaya, 53, and his 56-year-old sister-in-law Bishnumati Rokaya, who had been working at the Timure area of Rasuwa Customs Office, and their 19-year-old son Dipak Rokaya had gone missing.TAG_OPEN_div_36
Anlal and his wife Karnasari Rokaya are in mourning after the disappearance of their only son and brother-in-law, who have become the basis of life. The family is growing frustrated as the condition of the relatives is not known for a long time.
“The hope that our people will return is now dying. There is no breath, no corpse. Time is passing in confusion,” Anlal said, “The unbearable pain in the heart is getting worse during Dashain and Tihar.” ”
} He said that after giving the DNA test sample for the identification of the body, he had expressed hope that the condition of the relatives would be known, but the report has not been received yet. He gave the sample for DNA test at Bheri Hospital in Nepalgunj.
He said that the family has not been able to perform social and religious rites as the government has not given official information about the results of the DNA test and the condition of the missing person. He said that it would be easier to perform the rites if the government makes an official announcement about the death or the body that could not be found even after searching. “There is no trace of the breath or the body. We are in a dilemma on what basis to perform the social rites,” he said, “We are waiting for the DNA report. We are thinking of performing the social rites only after the government officially declares that they are dead or not found.”TAG_OPEN_div_28 ”
Aram Damai and Ujana Damai of Thapuwa also went missing in the same flood. Their 16-year-old son Subhas Nepali, 11-year-old son Ashwin and nine-year-old daughter Smarika are spending their days in the hope of returning to their parents.TAG_OPEN_div_26
