स्कुल जादा नि भोकै जानु पर्छ, घर आएपछि खाने कुरा पनि केहि छैन भोक्कै सुत्नु पर्छ – रातको २ बजे आमा हराउँछिन, रहस्य यस्तो (भिडियो सहित)
Kaladevi Safi, 70, prays a little more intensely and many more times during the monsoon. And there is a reason for doing so. She feels that not doing so might invite disasters. If anyone falls sick at home or in the village, they can’t be taken to a hospital for health checkup as the village is on an island which is isolated from the outer world during the monsoon.
“During the rainy season, the rivers that flow on all sides of our village are uncrossable. We are totally cut off from the outer world during this season every year,” Safi said. “Only God can help us so I keep praying as he is our only hope,” added the local of Sripur village.
The village is surrounded by two rivers, Kataniya and Dora from the four sides. However, other times the water level is not that high, it is not possible to cross them during the monsoon.
“Our village turns into an island when it rains consistently. We cannot get out of here,” lamented Safi. “During such time, we live a very hard life here,” she added. Many villages in the district still lack motorable roads. Safi’s village is one among those. Motorable road is still a farfetched dream for the locals. “We don’t think we’ll ever have a road here. It will continue to be like this for years to come,” Safi said.
