पानीजन्य रोगहरूबाट बच्न र यसबारे जनचेतना फैलाउन हाम्रा क्रियाकलापहरू

कविता बस्नेत

सन् २०१५को विनाशकारी भूकम्पपछि धेरै ठाउँहरूमा पानीजन्य रोगको महामारी फैलिएको थियो । भूकम्पबाट पानीका मूहानहरूमा क्षति पुगेकाले तथा हजारौँ जनसङ्ख्या विस्थापित भएकाले धेरै मानिस स्वच्छ पानीको पहुँचबाट टाढा भए ।

गाउँमा भन्दा पनि सहरी क्षेत्रमा हैजाजस्ता रोगको प्रकोप बढ्यो । नेपाल सरकार, स्वास्थ्य सेवा विभाग अन्तर्गत इपिडिमियोलोजी तथा रोग नियन्त्रण महाशाखाको तथ्याङ्कले पनि काठमाडौँ उपत्यकाका सहरी बस्तीहरू हैजाको जोखिममा रहेको देखायो ।

जथाभाबी दिसापिसाब गनार्ले, दूषित तथा सडेगलेका खानेकुरा खानाले तथा पानी शुद्धीकरण नगरी पिउनाले हैजा लाग्ने गर्दछ । समयमा उपचार नपाउँदा हैजाका बिरामीको मृत्यु नै हुन सक्छ । तर, सामान्य सावधानी अपनाएमा  यसबाट बच्न पनि सकिन्छ ।

Diary from March 8

Kshitij Kayastha

On March 8, 2017, I witnessed one hundred or so men walking along the busy roads of Lalitpur, holding placards that voiced their solidarity against the violence faced by girls and women. The march was not anything special because a march walked by a few men cannot change the way of the world, but it surely can bring about a revolution: a spark to change the way of the world.
