रानीपोखरीमा ट्यांकरका ट्यांकर पानी खन्याइयो
-जीतेन्द्र शाह/तस्बीरः विकास कार्की
गर्मी सुरुसँगै जलसतह घटेर माछा मर्न थालेपछि बौद्ध समुदायका महिलाले ट्यांकरका ट्यांकर पानी किनेर शनिबार (चैत १७ -२०६२) रानीपोखरीमा हालेका छन् । रानीपोखरीको जलस्तर करिब डेढ मिटर घटेको छ ।
गत वर्षभन्दा यसपटक पानी धेरै कम भएको स्थानीयवासी बताउँछन् । गर्मी सुरुसँगै रत्नपार्कस्थित रानीपोखरीमा पानीको सतह घट्छ ।
खडेरीले माछा मर्न थाले पनि संरक्षण जिम्मेवारी बोकेको महानगरपालिका भने दैनिक दुई ट्यांकर पानी खसालेर औपचारिकतामात्र पूरा गर्ने गरेको छ । बौद्घका महिलाले १७ ट्यांकर पानी किनेर खन्याएका हुन् । हरेक वर्ष चाडपर्वमा आफूले छाडेका माछाका भुरा र पक्षीले खडेरीले ज्यान नगुमाऊन् भनेर पानी हालेको यी बौद्ध धर्मावलम्बीहरूले बताए । ‘मान्छेले गर्मीमा जहाँबाट भए पनि पानी खान्छ, माछाले के गर्ने ?’ छोदेन लामाले भनिन् ।
रानीपोखरीका जलचर बचाउन २० जति महिलाले रकम जुटाई पानी हाल्न थालेको उनले बताइन् । दुई दिनमा ७० ट्यांकर पानी हाल्ने उनीहरूको लक्ष्य छ । त्यसका लागि करिब ७० हजार खर्च लाग्ने तेन्चिन लामाले बताइन् । ‘सुकिलो लुगामा समाज सेवाको भाषण दिने र डलरको खेती गर्नेलाई यी सामान्य महिलाले गरेको कामले पक्कै लाज लाग्ला,’ बालाजुका कृष्ण चौलागाईंले भने ।
त्यस क्षेत्रमा अधिकांशले ३५ फिट जमिनमुनिबाट पानी तान्ने गरेकाले सुख्खायाममा घटेको उनीहरूको दाबी छ । घरैपिच्छै बोरिङले गर्दा भूमिगत जलस्तरमा कमी आएकाले पोखरी गत वर्षभन्दा सुकेको हो । महानगरपालिकाले मेला र महोत्सवका नाउँमा रानीपोखरी भाडामा दिन थालेपछि प्रदूषणका कारण पनि समस्या आएको उनीहरू बताउँछन् । उनीहरूले रानीपोखरी क्षेत्रलाई प्रदूषणमुक्त क्षेत्र घोषणा गरिनुपर्ने माग राखेका छन् ।
करिब ६२ रोपनी क्षेत्रफल रहेको रानी पोखरी प्रताप मल्लले वि.स.१७२७ मा निर्माण गरेका हुन । सबै तीर्थको जल मिसाइएको यस पोखरीको चारै कुनामा गणेश भैरव महालक्ष्मी र दुर्गा तथा बीचमा शिवालय बनाइएको छ ।

I am very proud and grateful that we still have noble people like you in Nepal.You have shown the true Tibetan Buddhist follower of Lord Buddha. I have once read H.H. the Dalai Lama’s book “Arts of Happiness” and he has mentioned that “it doesn’t matter what religion you belong to, the most important thing in today’s world is to be a good human being and be compassionate towards all senteint beings.”

My sincere appreciation to all these tibetan ladies for thier wonderful act of social work. It’s very commendable and exemplary.Many tibetans(including myself) consider Nepal as our second home.Though I was born tibetan, I still have the feeling of nepali inside me.Nepal is my second home.
I think we should give them due recogniton for who they are !
And it is still not too late for the leaders of all the parties to rise beyond the party politics and Power.While the world is moving forward, why should we move backward ?? We should be making stride towards peace and prosperity.
And make a level playing field for our future generation in the world stage !!!

I was amused to read what people had to say about those bakkhu-clad ladies. Some called them Sherpas, some called them Buddhists and some called Nepali. The truth is those compassionate women are Tibetans (Tibetan refugees, Tibetans who have opted for Nepali citizenship), Mustangis, Manangis and Dolpos. It is sad that the majority Hindu Nepali called those unselfish women volunteers using their own resources ……… Buddhists women. When a Tibetan or Tibetan origin person is involved in murder or theft the same majority Hindu Nepali call them Mongolian looking people. A spade is a spade. Why can’t our Nepali people acknowledge the Tibetans who embrace this country as their own and have contributed so much to our culture, economy and added color to our mosiac tradition.
