Maitman's pir to the pillow

It was Dasain time. Tulsipur-17 Bijhori Dang, a pillow that had a small terrace, immediately withdrawing 12 lakh rupees was equivalent to moving a mountain. All the relatives live in East Rukum Putha Village-2 Mykot. It was not possible to go to Micot immediately. This village on the border of Dolpa is not accessible by car. In winter, vehicles only reach Taxira. To reach Micot, one has to walk uphill and downhill for three to four hours from Taxira.

Relatives sent 5 lakh 73 thousand rupees from East Rukum while giving up on the phone. 5 lakh rupees collected in Bijauri. Sirani added Rs 11 lakh 73 thousand to Kathmandu.

Sirani didn't know which country the husband was going to until the morning of the 6th of October. "It is taking us from a different path. It takes other people a different way. Can't call now. We are checking. I'll tell you later," Maitman said.

was a three-hour transit to Dubai. After reaching Dubai, Sirani asked him again, 'No, where are you going?'

After reaching Dubai, Maitman suddenly revealed the country, 'We are going to Russia on a visit visa. We are in a group of 15 people. Everyone has different agents. There are four of us from our agent.

Maitman reached Russia at 8 am on October 7. A Nepali came to pick them up at the airport. He arranged the living and dining arrangements. Opened a bank account on the same day. Completed other documents. Entered the army recruiting barracks. Maitman joined the Russian army. He was taken to training after a week. Now it is leading to training. This training lasts for three months. Then pay according to the place. In some places they pay less, in some places they pay more," Maitman told Sirani on the phone, "now the place we are brought to is Ukraine. There are no people here. All the buildings look empty. Only one/two people are seen around.'

It was only after receiving information that Sirani had reached Ukraine that she learned that her husband was preparing to go to war. Until then, Russia, where the husband had gone, and Russia, where the war was taking place, were considered to be separate countries. The three-month training was completed in one month. "I am now going to Redzone for 15-20 days. My mobile is not with me," Maitman sent a voice message on November 12.

Since that day, Maitman has not been in contact with Sirani.

Sirani got married to Maitman in the same year (2061) that he entered the Maoist 'Janamukti Sena'. Micot, a remote village in Rukum, was not untouched by the conflict. There were five sisters in the house, Sirani being the youngest. Her single mother was always afraid that 'Maoists will take away her daughters'. To protect her daughters from conflict, the mother herself joined the Maoists. She used to participate in every program of Maoist. As soon as the news came that the police-Maoists had entered the village, the 5 sisters would go into the forest to hide.

Maitman was in a dilemma whether to choose a vacation or go for the adjustment after the army adjustment. It is the path you have chosen yourself. I didn't send it. You decide for yourself,' said Sirani,

It is your responsibility to educate your children. What else can I say.'

In 2069, Maitman joined the Nepali Army. After that he was posted in Kathmandu Sundarijal. Worked in Sundarijal throughout the service period. In 2071, Sirani also left Rukum with her children. Elder daughter 12, son 6 and younger daughter studying in class one.

In May 2079, Maitman got the news that he resigned from the army. She stood against the issue of leaving the job. Wherever you go, you will work. If you are close, you can participate in happiness and sorrow. Parents can be seen. You will not leave your current job," Sirani called the army headquarters and said, "You have written your resignation letter without my consent. It had to be returned.'

The Nepali army canceled Maitman's resignation. After that, Maitman started blowing the pillow regularly. The salary here is nothing. The children grew up. I will leave here now. Pension will come after two years,' Maitman hoped, 'I will go somewhere in Europe or some good country. Let me leave.'

He left the army in October. Sirani didn't want to stop again.

He stayed with the family for four months, in Dang. Salary was not coming. The household expenses were running from the gratuity received when leaving the army. There is nothing to be done by staying at home. I will go to Kathmandu. I work as a security guard. I will also do the process of going out," Maitman said to Sirani and went to Kathmandu. He also advanced the process of going to Croatia. The broker kept saying today-today, tomorrow-tomorrow. 7 months were wasted. Croatia's first attempt was unsuccessful. The same broker said that if he tries again, it will take 8 months.

Maitman, who was planning to go somewhere on a visit visa, found a broker to take him to Russia. However, within a month of reaching Russia, Maitman disappeared. Sirani is restless after losing her husband. The children are young. Husband has no pension. The debt is heavy. There is a loan of 7 lakh taken by keeping the house in the bank. Beyond that is five lakhs. Monthly installments of Rs. 18,000 should be paid to the bank. He also took a loan here, took it there and paid it. Interest keeps increasing. She has got a contract to take two to four bottles of alcohol to the hotel to cover household expenses. From that, the children's food has been spent. Kayli Didi, who went to Kuwait for installments, sends the money.

No one in Russia has anything to do with him. She listens to different people. Some say, 'They come in contact after two-three months.' Some say, 'If they don't come even for 5 months, there is no person. is dead He does not even pick up the corpse.''

For four months, Sirani was waiting for a phone call saying whether he would come today or tomorrow. After so many months, she reached the district administration office in Dang in search of her husband in the first week of March. Your elders have gone illegally. Where does the state take responsibility?,' was the answer of the district.

Our elders will sneak in if they are mice. Not even a chill to fly away. The government gave approval and just left. They went from the airport in Nepal," Sirani replied to the district, "That's right, our elders are from Illegal Ga. They went without a work permit. I accept that. However, if the state did not have the system to give permission, they would not have gone.'

The district did not receive any response for 15 days after submitting the application. She went to the district again. "We will submit to Kathmandu from here to there. You will be submitted only after receiving a reply from above," was the district's reply.

Maitman's friend Milan Oli informed Sirani that there was a movement in Kathmandu to rescue those who had gone to the Russian army. He provided Kritu Bhandari's number. Bhandari is campaigning with families to search for missing citizens in Russia, return bodies of those killed, compensate and rescue survivors. In connection with Bhandari, Sirani came to Kathmandu on the 17th of Chait, entrusting her children to someone. Previously, she had come to Kathmandu for treatment only three times. The younger daughter is only told that 'Father has gone abroad'. The fact that the father is missing is hidden from the son studying in class 6. When she came to Kathmandu, she came with her son saying that she was going to get medical treatment. After the

, she filed a complaint at the consular department to search for her husband. She went to the Russian embassy with another application. The Russian Embassy did not take the offer.

The families of the victims were scheduled to demonstrate at the south gate of the restricted area Singhdarbar on Chait 19, saying that the government did not do 'strong diplomacy' for rescue and search for the missing. Sarani had reached the point that the dal would not go bad without putting pressure on the government. Sirani took her niece, Nanda, nephew and their friends who were in Kathmandu and went to protest in front of the Singha Darbar gate. Before they reached there, the police had already arrested one of them. Wherever they went, the police van would come. When Sirani opened the mobile data, she found out that the friends who had come to demonstrate had been arrested by the police and taken to the Anamnagar police station. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Narayankaji Shrestha himself went to rescue them and then flew to China. Couldn't speak to the foreign minister.

She went to the Ministry of Home Affairs to meet Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane. Other families were also there. Many were not given a pass to enter the Ministry of Home Affairs. Only two to four people were allowed. We went inside by force. "We had to wait for two hours for the home minister to come," Sirani said. They said they will recite the meditation. The Home Minister said, 'No, I will study by myself. I have known the pains of all. I have understood.'

He could not share his feelings openly with the Home Minister. Only three or four people were able to say little by little about the pain they experienced, endured and experienced. The family of the deceased said that 'compensation should be provided'. The family of the missing said to "search". They said to 'save' those who are in war. I have come from Rukum considering you as my guardian. I have a phone number.

Certificate of citizenship. After that, the state can evict people from anywhere," Sirani said to the Home Minister, "because there is no employment system here, they have to go to the Gulf countries even leaving their little children behind. One has to go to such a war-torn country. Let's rescue in such a situation, as it happens Let's search for our citizens. Let's return.'

In the end, the Minister of Home Affairs showed his fault for going there.

Sirani wanted to meet his 'Supremo Commander'. Prachanda is now the Prime Minister. We were behind him saying that he would make rich and poor equal, men and women equal, end Dalits, remove untouchability, and nationalize everyone's property. We were fought a people's war. It's a person who is leaning on our head,'' Sirani hoped, 'He won't look at us?'

She wanted to meet the Prime Minister to search for the 'People's Liberation Army'. However, the prime minister could not be reached from anywhere. They again demonstrated in front of Singha Darbar on 6th Baisakh. She was also arrested that day. The fact that the state has added pain to pain to those who came to Kamadoo with hope is deeply rooted in their hearts. The state is the guardian of people like us. There is a country and we are Nepalese. We are the people and whoever is the leader, the prime minister,' she says, 'nobody took our case seriously.'

Sirani decided to fight the state. Bhandari, Sirani and Kisan Thapa, the coordinators of the campaign for the survival of the Nepalese who are attached to the Russian army, have been fasting to death since May 7th.
