जाजरकोट, चैत्र २९ - जाजरकोटको सदरमुकाम खलंगामा खानेपानीको हाहाकार भएको छ । गर्मी मौसमसागै पानीका मुहान सुक्दै गएपछि खानेपानीको हाहाकार भएको हो । नियमित पानी आपूर्ति नहूदा स्थानीय तीन घण्टा टाढा रहेको खोलाबाट खानेपानी बोकेर ल्याउन बाध्य छन् ।
लामो समयदेखि बषर्ा नहूदा सुख्खा तथा गर्मी मौसम र बनजङ्गल विनासका कारण पानीका मुहान सुकेका हुन् । सदरमुकामका झण्डै १२ हजार सर्वसाधारण ,नेपाली सेना , प्रहरी र निजामती कर्मचारीलाई समेत पिउने पानीको अभावले सताएको छ ।
सदरमुकाम चुचुरोमा भएकोले नजिक कतैपनि पानीका मुल छैनन् । खानेपानीको हाहाकार भएका स्थानहरुमा थाप्ले , थाप्लेचौर , पिपलडाडा , काजीबारा , बाहुनबारा , गैरीखाली , रानागाउ , बोरा , स्याला , कालेगाउ ,राउतगाउ लगाएत रहेका छन् । ती स्थानहरुमा एक गाग्री पिउने पानी पाउनै ग्राह्रो छ । नुहाउने तथा कपडा धुने कार्यका लागि भेरी नदीको किनारामा जानुपर्ने बाध्यता छ ।
बीस बर्ष अगाडि निर्माण गरीएको सदरमुकामको खानेपानी आपुर्तीको योजना हालको जनसंख्याको अनुपातमा निकै कम भएको छ । बर्षे सिजनमा करीब २ लाख ५० हजार लिटर पानी आपूर्ति हुने सदरमुकाममा यतिबेला १ लाख ५० हजार लिटर पनि आपुर्ती हुन सक्दैन उपभोक्ता समितिका अध्यक्ष शिब प्रसाद शर्माले बताए ।
सदरमुकामको लागि पिउने पानीको मुहान नजिक नभएको स्थानीय चिन्तित बन्दै गएका छन् । हाल आपूर्ती भैरहेको पानीको मुहान खलंगादेखि झण्डै ५ किलो मीटर टाढा रहेको छ ।
सदरमुकाममा प्रयाप्त पानी आपूर्तीका १५ किलोमीटर टाढाको मुहानबाट पानी ल्याउन बृहत खानेपानी योजना लागु गनुृपर्ने र जुन जिल्ला खानेपानीको काबुमा नभएको जिल्ला खानेपानी कार्यालयका ईन्जिनियर सीताराम काफ्लेले भने ।
Govt cautions about summer epidemic outbreak
Sunday, 04 April 2010
Kathmandu: The government has cautioned the general public against their carelessness in sanitation and food habits for the fear that an epidemic might outbreak in summer. Pranay Kumar Upadhyaya, senior pubic health officer at Epidemiology and Disease Control Division said that the ministry is on high alert to tackle any possible epidemic outbreak in this season.
“The distribution of essential medicines and other equipment has been completed nationwide. We have allocated more budget and medicines to 16 districts that had been severely affected by diarrhoea last year,” informed Upadhyaya. Around 366 persons died during mid-April to mid-October last year as per the record of the government. However, the NGO’s record claims the death toll to have reached 394. The ministry has also formed Community Rapid Response Team (CRRT) in the most vulnerable 20 districts in remote areas to provide immediate response this year. There are 75 District Rapid Response Team nationwide.
Talking to The Himalayan Times, Upadhyaya informed that the team would be mobilized as per the need of the area and would give the first hand service to the victims. MoHP posted around 150 doctors last month in the remote places. Saroj Prasad Rajendra, chief of Sahid Sukraraj Tropical Hospital at Teku said that they had recorded the growing number of patients as soon as the summer started. “The simple way to keep the diseases like diarrhoea, dysentery, typhoid, and jaundice at bay is to drink safe water and follow hygienic habit,” added Rajendra.

Aamir Khan
The government has approached Aamir to be the brand ambassador for the Urban School Sanitation project, a joint initiative of the Human Resource Development Ministry and the Urban Development Ministry, and help save children.
“Yes, we have been approached and have said yes to the initiative,” a spokesperson at Aamir’s office said.
According to Unicef, diarrhoea, which is directly linked to poor sanitation and hygiene, kills more than 1,000 children in India every day.
The project aims to generate awareness among schoolchildren about two key issues — the need for hygienic sanitation, its impact on health and environment and the importance of waste segregation.
The campaign will initially target schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education. Municipal school students will be next.
As part of the programme, the children will be told about hygienic sanitation practices and the ills of defecating in the open. They will also be taught waste segregation. Every student will be given a project on sanitation.
“Children are the best ambassadors of change. Through these children, we hope to take the message across to a wider audience,” the official said.
An urban development ministry official said Aamir was their natural choice for the campaign to be unveiled on April 27. “Children would associate with him very easily. He has done acclaimed films such as Taare Zameen Par and 3 Idiots. He would be able to get across the message effectively to children in a way that they can comprehend,” said a ministry official.

Water, sanitation and hygiene education in schools – WASH in Schools – provides safe drinking water, improves sanitation facilities and promotes lifelong health. WASH in Schools enhances the wellbeing of children and their families, and paves the way for new generations of healthy children. Each year, children lose 272 million school days due to diarrhoea, and an estimated one in three school-aged children in the developing world are infested with intestinal worms. Not only do these illnesses rob children of school attendance and achievement, they are underlying causes of malnutrition and stunting.
WASH in Schools significantly reduces hygiene-related disease, increases student attendance and learning achievement, and contributes to dignity and gender equality. Despite this knowledge, more than half of all primary schools in the developing countries with available data do not have adequate water facilities and nearly two thirds lack adequate sanitation.
