| | Although Nursing Home has accepted its fault as seen in the daily news paper, it was just to control the riot bcz deceased person was talking about money, money, money.
If by giving him 2.5 lakh can control the riot that was the option left to make him happy form Nursing Home side.
Police didn't control the riot they just enjoyed watching vandalism as they were not happy the way Govt. took action against their seniors officers. Late on when Home Minister and CDO involved then they use few tear gases. If they would have control the riod they would have prevent the damage done to the property.
There is a press release at 2.00 PM in the Nursing Home regarding yesterday's incidence. | |

काठमाडौं, जेठ १० - चिकित्सक र व्यवस्थापनको लापरबाहीले बिरामीको मृत्यु भएको आरोपमा आक्रोशित भीडले बुधबार नयाँबानेश्वरस्थित एभरेस्ट नर्सिङहोममा तोडफोड गरेको छ । आक्रोशका कारण नयाँबानेश्वर क्षेत्र दिनभर तनावग्रस्त रह्यो ।
उपचारका लागि हेटौंडाबाट बुधबार बिहान चार बजे काठमाडौं ल्याइएका तुलसीराम गौतमको एक घन्टामै नर्सिङहोममा मृत्यु भएको थियो । डाक्टरको लापरबाहीले बिरामी बाबुको मृत्यु भएको भन्दै आक्रोशित छोरा नर्र्सिङहोमका पालेको कुटाइबाट घाइते भएका छन् ।
घटनाका दुवै पक्षबीच सहमति भइसकेपछि पनि भीडले नर्सिङहोम तोडफोड गर्नुका साथै नयाँबानेश्वर क्षेत्र तनावग्रस्त बनाएको थियो । नर्सिङहोमका डा. सन्तोष खडका र व्यवस्थापनको लापरबाहीले गौतमको मृत्यु भएको आरोप आफन्तको छ । दमले ग्रस्त ६९ वषर्ीय गौतमलाई उपचारका लागि सोही बिहान त्यहाँ भर्ना गरिएको थियो । पालेले खाली अक्सिजनको सिलिन्डर जोडिदिँदा बाबुको मृत्यु भएको छोरा सोमहरि गौैतमले दाबी गरे । बाबुको मृत्युले आक्रोशित सोमहरिलाई डा. खडकाको निर्देशनमा पालेले कोठामा थुनेर फलामको औजारले हान्दा टाउको फुटेको जनाइएको छ । उनको टाउकोमा दुई टाँका लगाइएको छ ।
बिरामी गौतमलाई इमरजेन्सी वार्डबाट उपचारपछि पाँच बजे चौथो तल्लाको सामान्य कक्षको ४४ नम्बर शय्यामा सारिएको थियो । डा. खडकाले इमरजेन्सी वार्डमा अर्का बिरामी आएकाले समयाभावका कारण गौतमको श्वासप्रश्वास सुचारु गर्न नसकेको र आफ्नो कमजोरीका कारण बिरामीको मृत्यु भएको स्विकारेका छन् ।
डा. खडकाले बिहान नौ बजे सञ्चारकर्मीहरूमाझ भने- 'त्यतिबेलै नर्सलाई बिरामी गौतमको स्थिति चिन्ताजनक रहेकाले अक्सिजनको सिलिन्डर जोड्न अह्राएको थिएँ । तर पालेले जडान गरेको मलाई थाहा भएन ।'
नर्सिङहोम बोर्ड अध्यक्ष डा. रामप्रसाद पोखरेलले बिरामीलाई हटौंडाबाट अक्सिजनबिना मरणासन्न अवस्थामा ल्याइएको बताए । 'डा. खडकाले आक्रोशित भीडको डरले त्यस्तो भनेका हुन्, अक्सिजन दिँदादिँदै बिरामीको मृत्यु भएको हो,' उनले दाबी गरे ।
मृत्युको खबर पाएपछि उपस्थित आफन्तले डा. खडका र नर्सिङहोमले सामूहिक रूपमा क्षमायाचनासहित क्षतिपूर्ति नदिउन्जेल शव नबुझ्ने अडान लिएका थिए । उनीहरूले नर्सिङहोम परिसरमा आठ बजेसम्म धर्ना दिए । धर्ना जारी रहेपछि नर्सिङहोममा पीडित पक्ष, सुरक्षा अधिकृत र नर्सिङहोम प्रशासनको संयुक्त बैठक बसेको थियो । बैठकपछि सुरक्षाकर्मी र सञ्चारकर्मीबीच नर्सिङहोमका व्यवस्थापक केदारप्रसाद नेपाल र डा. खड्काले आ-आफ्नो कमजोरी स्विकारेका थिए । नर्सिङहोमले पीडित परिवारलाई दुई लाख पचास हजार रुपैयाँ दिने सहमति भएकोे थियो ।
पीडित पक्षले नर्सिङहोम बाहिरको उत्तेजित भीडलाई डा. खडका र नर्सिङहोमले कमजोरी स्वीकार गरी उचित क्षतिपूर्ति दिने सर्तमा सहमति भएको जानकारी गराएको थियो । तर बाहिरको आक्रोशित भीडले सहमति स्वीकार नगर्ने बताउँदै धम्की दिँदै तोडफोडमा उत्रियो ।
त्यसपछि सोमहरिले भीडमा आफन्त नभएको बताएका थिए । 'यो भीडमा आफन्तहरू कोही पनि छैन, हामी नियन्त्रण गर्न सक्दैनांै,' उनले पहिलो चरणको वार्तापछि सञ्चारकर्मीमाझ भने ।
बाहिरको भीडले नौ बजेपछि नर्सिङहोम तोडफोड गरेको थियो । भीडले नर्सिङहोमका सबै सिसाहरू फुटाएर सडक अवरुद्ध पारेको थियो । त्यतिबेला काठमाडौं जिल्ला प्रशासन कार्यालयले पीडित पक्ष र नर्सिङहोम प्रशासनलाई कार्यालयमा झिकाएर पुनः वार्ता गराएको थियो । एक बजे वार्ता टुंगिएको थियो ।
प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारी स्थानेश्वर देवकोटाको रोहवरको बैठकले डा. खडका र कुटपिट गर्ने पालेलाई तत्कालै नियन्त्रण गर्न निर्देशन दिएको थियो । उनीहरूलाई सिंहदरबार वडा प्रहरी कार्यालयमा राखिएको छ ।
यसबारे नेपाल मेडिकल एसोसिएसनसहितको एक छानबिन टोली गठन हुने भएको छ । टोेलीले व्यवस्थापनको कमजोरी प्रमाणित गरे नर्सिङहोम सञ्चालनको स्वीकृति खारेज हुने सहमतिमा वार्ता टुंगिएको पीडितका पक्षका आफन्तले बताए ।
तनावका कारण नर्सिङहोममा डाक्टरहरू नहुँदा अरू बिरामी उपचारविहीन भएका थिए । तोडफोड चलिरहेका बेला सिकिस्त तीन जनासहित ११ बिरामीलाई आफन्तले उपचारका लागि अन्य अस्पताल लग्ोका थिए । ढुंगामुढाबाट केही बिरामी कुरुवासमेत घाइते भए । भीड नियन्त्रणमा खटिएका सुरक्षाकर्मी र उत्तेजित भीडबीच एक बजेसम्म ढुंगा हानाहान भएको थियो । पीडित र नर्सिङहोमबीचको सहमति नमान्ने प्रदर्शनकारीलाई नियन्त्रण गर्न प्रहरीले झन्डै एक दर्जन अश्रुग्यास प्रहार गरेको थियो । कडा सुरक्षा व्यवस्थाबीच अपराह्न डेढ बजे मृतक गौतमको शव नर्सिङहोमबाट आर्यघाट लगिएको थियो ।
सहमति नमान्ने भीडले नियमित सडक अवरुद्ध गरेपछि बिहान सात बजेदेखि अपराह्न दुई बजेसम्म नयाँबानेश्वरको सडक ठप्प भएको थियो । त्यही भीडले कान्तिपुर टेलिभिजनको भ्यानमाथि पनि ढुंगामुढा गरेको थियो ।
यसैबीच नेपाल अर्थोपेडिक संघ, बीपी कोइराला मेमोरियल क्यान्सर अस्पताल भरतपुर, राष्ट्रिय स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा सूचना तथा सञ्चार केन्द्र र मोडल अस्पतालले दुवै घटनाको भत्र्सना गरेका छन् ।
बुटबल घटनामा आफ्नो पार्टीको संलग्नता नरहेको जानकारी पार्टी प्रवक्ता कृष्णबहादुर महराले टेलिफोनबाट कान्तिपुरलाई दिए । | It is worth to note that ...
पीडित पक्षले नर्सिङहोम बाहिरको उत्तेजित भीडलाई डा. खडका र नर्सिङहोमले कमजोरी स्वीकार गरी उचित क्षतिपूर्ति दिने सर्तमा सहमति भएको जानकारी गराएको थियो । तर बाहिरको आक्रोशित भीडले सहमति स्वीकार नगर्ने बताउँदै धम्की दिँदै तोडफोडमा उत्रियो ।

Although it agreed to pay 2,50,000 for the deceased family, because riot forced and threatened to ENH staff to accept the guilt and demanded the 3 lakh initially.
It was ENH generiosity that they paid the amount to save their staff and to control the situation. However news quoting the lack of O2 supply was the cause of death was not true.
According to the Dr. Khadka, the deceased son attacked him he didn't protest at all, then the security personnel saved him.
