Zero civic sense

While I was at a photocopy shop in Butwal, Belbash Chowk, I saw local residents come together to clean the area, which initially made me feel happy as people collected garbage from different corners and even took photos of their collective effort; however, after the cleanup, all the waste was gathered and burned, and thick smoke spread across the entire neighborhood, turning a positive act into a harmful one.

This incident made me question whether people are fully aware of air pollution and its serious health impacts, and why there is still a lack of concern when smoke directly affects the same community.

It clearly showed me that although people may be willing to keep their surroundings clean, there is still a strong need for awareness about proper waste management and the harmful consequences of burning garbage, because true cleanliness is not only about collecting waste but also about disposing of it in an environmentally safe way.

विकास कि फोहोर ?

"सडकको छेउमै यसरी थुप्रिएको फोहोर केवल दुर्गन्धको समस्या मात्र होइन, यो वातावरण, जनस्वास्थ्य र भविष्यप्रतिको ठूलो चुनौती हो ।"

"यो कुनै पहाड होइन, फोहोरको थुप्रो हो।" सडक छेउमै यति ठूलो परिमाणमा थुपारिएको फोहोरले वातावरण मात्र होइन, स्थानीय बासिन्दाको स्वास्थ्यमा पनि प्रत्यक्ष असर पार्ने जोखिम बढाएको छ।

अधिकारको सुनिश्चित गर

"नागरिकको स्वास्थ्यबारे कहिले गम्भीर हुने सरकार?"

माथि देखिएका दुवै तस्बिर पाल्पा जिल्ला जाने क्रममा लिएको तस्बिर हो। दुवै तस्बिरको समानान्तर भनेको भत्किएको पक्की सडक हो। यद्यपि एक तस्बिरमा भने भतिएको सडकमा पानी हालिएको छ। दोस्रोम
