KATHMANDU, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Even though it was 4:00 a.m. on Wednesday, student Mukesh Kuwar arrived at the main bus park at Gongabu in Kathmandu to get
a bus ticket to go home to Dhangadhi in western Nepal, only to find he was at
the back of the queue.
Kuwar's home is located 723 km away from the capital city.
Despite the early hour, he was behind throngs of others also queuing up for tickets to return to their hometowns.
All those waiting for tickets had one thing in common: they were all traveling home to meet family and friends to celebrate Dashain, the biggest
festival in Nepal.
As the ticket counter opened at 6:00 a.m., Kuwar started to complain at 8:00 a.m. that he should have arrived earlier; perhaps at 3:00 a.m. to guarantee that
he could get a ticket home.
"I thought I cam there early enough, but now I'm a bit worried I won't be able to buy a ticket," Kuwar told Xinhua.
Although his family will not be celebrating the festival this year because of a death in the family, Kuwar still want to meet his family members and
relatives.
"I am also excited to go home because it has been a whole year since I last saw my relatives," said Kuwar.
Punam Thing, a homemaker, was also worried about whether or not she would get a ticket or not on Thursday, as she queued to book a ticket to travel to the
Gorkha district, in central Nepal, to be with relatives at her maternal home.
She arrived at the bus terminal at around 5:00 a.m. on Wednesday and was still queuing three hours later. "They are saying that there are only three
buses with vacant seats left and I am worried about all of them running out of
seats before my turn comes to get ticket," she said.
The bus station is a hive of activity as hoards of people waiting for bus tickets and then waiting for the buses to depart for their destinations are all
in a rush to get back to their hometowns to celebrate the festival, which
started on Oct. 1.
The festival is basically celebrated for 10 days and until the 9th day of the festival, Durga, the deity of power, is worshiped. The 10th day is the most
important day of the festival, however, when people receive Tika (a mark of
vermilion and rice on the forehead) and blessings from elders. The 10th day,
known as Tika, is celebrated on Oct. 11 this year.
Kathmandu, the capital city, hosts a large migrant population as they come here from different parts of the country in search of for better work and
educational opportunities.
The Dashain Festival period is when the largest numbers of migrants depart the capital city ever year. According to the Federation of Nepalese National
Transport Entrepreneurs, around 1 million people have already departed from the
Kathmandu valley and an additional 1 million are expected to move out from the
city within the next three to four days as the festival swings into gear.
According to Saroj Sitaula, general secretary of the federation, more than 3,000 passenger vehicles have been departing Kathmandu every day for the last
few days, which is triple the number compared to regular days. To deal with the
mass exodus of people, some entrepreneurs have secured other vehicles from
different parts of the county to offer private services.
Not only from the migrant population within the country, but many from overseas also travel home for the festival. Given the mass movement of people,
the Nepal Police said they are prioritizing the safety of people traveling on
the buses and other passenger vehicles.
Police Spokesperson DIG Hemanta Malla Thakuri told Xinhua on Wednesday that they have distributed time cards to the passenger vehicles to control the speed
of drivers so that the vehicles operate at a safe speed as they head towards
their destinations.
There is a tendency among public vehicles here to carry more passengers than their capacity and to drive at higher speeds, but this can lead to fatal
accidents.
"The government didn't accept the transport entrepreneurs' demand for permission to carry passengers beyond the existing standard and they were forced
to operate their vehicles under the existing rule," said Malla.
The enjoyment within a wedding is perhaps an issue that could be easily overlooked. Truth be told, the entertainment can be something extremely
important to your massive day. This really is given that your visitors will
probably experience uninteresting once you is unable to offer outstanding
enjoyment all through your reception. Therefore you will try to invest some time
and bucks on this issue.
It may be all the more essential if you re considering to get a sizeable celebration. I. Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Authentic Jerseys Cheap Custom Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys
