Many families of the citizens who went missing due to the rising flood of Bhotekoshi were forced to cremate Kush's corpse for nine days from the river bank to other places according to their religion and culture.
For nine days, when neither breath nor body was found, the family was in unbearable pain and stress, and cremated Kush's body at Pashupati, Narayanghat, Triveni, Devghat, Riddy and other places on Thursday. Many families fainted because they could not hold back.
Some families fell unconscious while preparing Kush's body, while some families fell while lighting candles at the ghat. The condition of not only his family whose family members have gone missing, but also some others going to the ghat has become critical. Some of them were able to be washed away by splashing water or others had to be taken to the hospital. More than a dozen people had to be taken to the hospital from Pashupati Ghat. There is also a situation where there are no parents or guardians but only a small five-year-old child is left in the family. The scene when little Babu Nanu was carried to light Kush's dead body was very sad and painful. That scene left everyone in awe.
Ganesh Neupane, who was forced to cremate his 23-year-old son Abhash in extreme pain after the body was not found for nine days and there was no possibility of finding it, said Ganesh Neupane. At the Rasuwa Hydropower office, while holding a meeting regarding the day's work plan, many sons and daughters like Abhash, who was not even allowed to say 'Aiya' due to floods, seemed to be apathetic. Some have sons and daughters, some have parents, some have relatives and some have no whole family. Hundreds of citizens who have lost their entire families and have no one to look for them. They tried to make it easier by hanging a picture outside the hospital to see if people would come to look for them, but no one came.
One or two members of whose family went missing, their families performed the cremation at Devghat, Ridi, Narayanghat, Pashupati and other shrines for nine days on Thursday. While returning from Kailash Mansarovar, the body of Sumi Adhikari, who disappeared due to flood on the border of Nepal and China, was taken to Devghat from Rupandehi Bhalwari for cremation. Sumi Adhikari, who had returned from Australia to Mansarovar, sent a message to her husband Navraj Pandey on August 10th at 8:30 am to inform her that she was about to cross the immigration, but within 15 minutes, she neither texted her again nor replied to the messages that her beloved husband had repeatedly sent from Australia. The four-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter had already started asking when Mamu would come, but to answer those ignorant wives, he could not even see their faces.
As soon as he returned to Nepal, Navraj, Sambhava, sister Sharda, nephew Saksham along with him reached not only the hospitals but also the banks of the river from Rasuwa to Triveni, but they could not find Sumi and finally left Devghat for nine days after making Kush's Sumi. The families of KN Pandey, Navraj Pandey, Ganesh Neupane, Kalpana Kandel Neupane are only representative characters who suffer. Due to this pain and suffering, there were many people who cremated Kush's body and cremated it on Thursday. There were hundreds of people who searched for nine days, but after the body was not found, the number of people who cremated Kush's body on Thursday is claimed to be more than 1500. How is life? Beloved son, daughter, father and mother in the family who were not allowed to speak a single word due to the upward growth that came from Bhotekoshi. Out of the thousands of citizens who were affected by the flood that occurred on the 10th of August 2083, only a few hundred bodies were found, while the bodies of thousands of others were not found and have not been found yet. For 9 days, the family kept waiting to find breath or body, but neither breath nor body was found. The pain and stress of those 9 days was unimaginable.
Looking at the fact that the settlements in the river area from Rasuwa to Bidur have been turned into bazaars, what mistake does Nepal have made and it has to suffer such an unbelievable destruction? There is no account of physical damage, but the whole country of Nepal is crying because of the pain of human loss. Nepali people's mind has been lost. Despite this, living humans have to endure. The most unbearable pain is a family in which there are fathers and mothers but no sons and daughters, while in some families only the father and mother are left, but there is no father, mother or guardian, such a family is in the most isolated state. For nine days, no one in that family was able to put any food in their mouths. In this way, the family, who spent time in pain and suffering for nine days, was forced to make a decision about the heavy weight of wheat that could not be held like a very big stone in the chest, and they made Kush's body and cremated it according to their culture and religion.
The details of the human and material damage caused by the flood from Bhotekoshi in Nepal is yet to be gathered, but the number of dead bodies is increasing and it is estimated that the number of people lost due to floods is not less than 10 thousand every day. All Nepali people are so sad in the most painful moment in history for the whole country. Due to climate change, after the big mountain of Hinu fell on Tibet, Bhotekoshi rose up to 100 meters and the Timure Syapruvesi of Rasuwa was swallowed by a big fish of the sea in one go. That bull also destroyed Trishuli market in Nuwakot. More than two dozen road bridges were washed away. Apart from cattle, sheep, goats, rags, clothes, jewelry, the physical damage is estimated to be more than 10 billion. Around 10,000 citizens are now missing due to the rising flood. Nearly seven hundred megawatts of hydropower have been destroyed.
Markets such as Syaprubansi, Timure, Trishuli from the immigration building on the border of China were not only completely turned into bogs, but the citizens of the market could not even say aya because they were caught in the flood. Even now, the security agencies are continuing the rescue operation at the risk of their lives. The role played by Nepal Army, Nepal Police and Armed Police for the rescue is highly commendable. The whole government is in the same way. Now more than 10,000 citizens who have been rescued need food and accommodation. Special arrangements have to be made for the education of many students, while the need for counseling is increasing for stressed students and citizens.
