Photo Story: द्धन्दको मारमा कृषक
शब्द/तस्बीरः शैलेन्द्र खरेल ।
बर्दिया राजापुरस्थित भण्डारणको लागी धान भित्राउने काममा व्यस्त थारु । नेपालमै सबैभन्दा घेरै धान उत्पादन हुने राजापुरमा स्थापित अधिराज्यकै सबै भन्दा ठूलो खाध्य उधोग माओवादीले बम-विष्फोट गराएपछि चार वर्षदेखि बन्द रहेको छ । खाध्य उधोग संचालनमा नआएका कारण नेपालकै खाध्य भण्डारको रुपमा चिनिएको यस क्षेत्रका कृषकहरु धान बिक्रीमा समस्या भोग्दै आएका छन् । ११ गा.वि.स रहेको उक्त ठांउबाट बार्षिक झन्डै ४० हजार मेट्रिक टन धान उत्पादन हुँदै आएको छ । तर निजी धान खरिद कर्ताहरुलाई बिक्रीगर्दा कृषकहरुले उचित मूल्य पाउन सकेका छैनन् ।
११ गा.वि.स अन्तर्गत करिब एक लाख जनसंख्या रहेको यस राजापुर टाप्पु सदरमुकाम गुलेरियाबाट ३७ कि.मि पश्चिम कर्णाली नदी पारी अवस्थित रहेको छ । अस्थाई पुल भएपनि प्रायजसो डुङ्गा तरेरै आवत जावत गर्छन् ।
यहांका कृषकहरु पूर्णरुपमा घान खेतिमै आश्रित छन् । नेपालमा सबैभन्दा घेरै घान उत्पादन हुने राजापुरलाई अन्नभण्डारणका लागी राजधानीको रुपमा चिनिदै आएको छ ।
व्यवस्थित तवरले अन्नभण्डारण गर्नका लागी नेपाल-जापन सरकारको सहयोगमा राजापुरस्थित करिब १५ करोडमा निर्माण भएको नेपाल खाध्य उधोग, आधुनिक चामल कारखाना ०४५ साल फागुन देखि संचालन शुरु भएपछि कृषकहरुले घानको बिक्री-बितरण र आफ्नो उत्पादनको व्यवस्थित तवरले निर्धारण गरीएको मूल्यका कारण ठूलो राहत पाएका थिए ।
माओवादीले ०५९ बैशाखमा उक्त खाध्य उधोगमा आक्रमण गरी बन्द हुने स्थितीमा पुराएपछि अहिले सुनौलो भबिष्यको सपना देख्दै आएका राजापुरका कृषकहरुको भविष्यमा प्रश्न चिन्ह लागेको छ । चार वर्षदेखि बन्द रहेको उक्त खाध्य उधोग संचालनमा नआएका कारण नेपालको अन्नभण्डारका कृषकहरुले घानको बिक्री बितरणमा ठुलो समस्या खेप्नुका साथै उचित मूल्यबाट पनि बञ्चित हुनु परेको छ ।
एक स्थनीय कृषक भन्छन्- माओवादीको लह-लहैमा लागेर खाध्य उधोगमा आक्रमण गरी भण्डारणमा रहेका चामलहरु लुटेर लगेका स्थानिय मानिसहरुहरु, अहिले पछुतो मान्दै बसेका छन् ।
उक्त संस्थानमा जडान भएको घान कुट्ने आघुनिक मशिनले प्रति घण्टा २ टन घान कुट्ने क्षमता रहेको छ । बन्द हुनु पूर्वको तथ्याङ्कअनुसार, आ.व ०५०-५१, उधोगले कृषकहरुबाट सबैभन्दा बढी घान संकलन गरेको वर्ष रहेको थियो । त्यस वर्ष संस्थानले २१,८०० मेट्रिक टन घान कृषकहरुबाट किनेको थियो । राजापुरबाट गत आ.व ०६१-०६२ मा ३६,७६२ मेट्रिक टन र यस आ.व ०६२-०६३ मा ३९,४५१ मेट्रिक टन घान उत्पादन भएको छ ।
नेपाल खाध्य संस्थान, भेरीका अंचल प्रमुख दिपक लम्साल बताउछन्- उद्योग बन्द भएकै कारण अहिले कृषकहरुले निजी घान खरिद कर्ताहरुलाई बिक्री गर्दा उचित मूल्य पाउन सकेका छैनन् ।
युद्धरत पक्ष माओवादीले संस्थानमा आक्रमण गरेपछि बन्द रहेको उक्त संस्थानप्रति सरकारले कुनै चासो नलिनाले राजापुरका कृषक मारमा परेका छन् ।

I know life is hardship in nepalese village. It makes worse when someone tries to close the door for ones vital supplies. It is just painful to live in this situation. However, don’t loose hope, the light can shine someday.

probably, not good idea to write about those devil of nepal.The name of polticians has omitted(chiranjivee wagle),it’s ok for me.I have not written any letter to my family since i came here but being a patriotic i felt to write them before to my family.If my motherland is not ok obiviously,my mother is serious and my family is not o.k.so i thought to show them their’s face on the mirror and the reflections images from people.which they seem to be pretended.Respected unknown journalist!!I want to publish this (i have written double of this size)in any kantipur’s publication.is it possible??I think you will help me out.if i get the positive reply in my email address i will send you my entire things incuding this as well.i hope i will get the positive reply.

I don’t think Nepalese leader are contributing for the prosperity and progress of the country. They are just playing for the own prosperity and chairs. Becasue they didn’t prove when they got power,chair and everything.But they misused the democracy. So we really need those leaders who heartly contribute to Nepal and Nepalese people. Dont play with inocent people. Understand democracy dont misused it.

लोकतान्त्रिक आन्दोलनले नयाँ उचाइ छुँदैछ । समाजका सबै तहले आन्दोलनप्रति ऐक्यबद्धता जनाइरहेका छन् । यो जनउभारलाई अब निरंकुश राज्यसत्ताले धेरै दिन थेग्नसक्ने छैन । नयाँ वर्ष २०६३ ले अवश्य लोकतान्त्रिक, स्वतन्त्र र कानुनी शासनयुक्त नयाँ नेपाल निर्माण गर्नेछ ।
