A night inferno has destroyed at least 18 huts in Beldangi-I camp Wednesday night, displacing 79 individuals.
First seen at a hut owned by Ram Biswa of Sector G-1, Hut no: 92 at 9:30, the actual cause behind the mishap has not yet been investigated.
Camp based Armed Police Force has detained Biswa for investigation, Camp Supervisor Harka Rai informed.
The displaced persons are taking shelter in camp school. The schools in the camps are closed today.
Meanwhile, the Youth Friendly Center that functions under the Caritas Nepal reached the venue early Thursday morning with breakfast items for the displaced.
Various agencies’ representatives also visited the camp and observed the situation.
An all-party meeting of the stakeholders is expected sometime later today to discuss on the relief package, according to Supervisor Rai.
Nobody target to destroy themself unless he/she is sufferer.
The frequent fire accidents in the refugee camps is the result of misunderstand-
ing and lack of trust and confidence among the people in general and so called leaders from different parties and NGOs in particular.
It is a game between genuine refugee and fake refugees in the camps and their supporters and leaders.
Finally, poor are becoming poorer and rich are becoming richer every day in the name of refugees.
The most of leaders remain out side refugee camps..enjoying luxury life on the expenses of refugee fund.They are doing good business, buying land and buildings in nepali towns and their childern are reading in english schools out the camps.
The old fox (leaders) they easly forgotten their promise,I quote..”SANGAI LADULAA,SANGAI MAROWLA,SANGAI BASULAA “
Its totally a matter of misunderstanding to blame other people, and so-called leaders. In fact, nobody wanna be the victims of fire consciously..Accidents with fire is due to carelessness or may be a tactics to pressurize for dismantlement of refugee camps. Because these sorts of accidents are not rare. The people from Goldhap Refugee camps too witnessed the terrible fate not a long time ago.Still, people are not aware of this. In my opinion, the plot with fire may be the cause to catalyze “THIRD COUNTRY RESETTLEMENT” thereby switching off the dream to RETURN BHUTAN…
