Grim Doti tale
Added At: 2012-08-06 11:13 PM Last Updated At: 2012-08-06 11:13 PM

EDITORIAL
That the fear of cholera has created an exodus from the various villages of Doti district in the Far Western Development Region comes as a shocking piece of news. Cholera has resulted in the death of at least 14 people in the district. The disease is water-borne and preventable with the use of clean drinking water and fresh food. And, this is the very reason to be ashamed as well for the government which cannot even fulfil the primary tasks of providing clean drinking water and the requisite ORS to the people. This story has come from the remote villages in Doti district, which makes it all a mockery of the government that harps on the Millennium Development Goals in health. Just two years back the scene was much more tragic in Jajarkot and other districts. Last year too there were many deaths due to cholera which can be prevented easily if the right precautions are taken. Now, what makes the cholera epidemic all the more pathetic in terms of the apathy exhibited by the government and the district health delivery services is that the people have left their villages for their sheds in the upper part of the hills or gone to India. Even the Nepali migrant workers in India are not coming back fearing the disease, and instead have called their family members here to join them.
