The funeral of the Giri brothers killed in Queensland car accident is scheduled for Saturday.
According to Prahlad Dahal, Community Officer of Bhuanese Community in Crains, three Bhutanese youths were returning home from Townsville after completing medical appointment of Purna Giri in Townsville hospital before their car met with an accident.
While they were driving back home, their car collided with a semi trailer in Tully, about 200 Km. from Cairns. Furthermore, the car was hit by another car in full speed from back.
“It is learned that Sashi Giri and Purna Giri died instantly while Amrit Bhattarai, who was critically injured, was rushed back to Townsville hospital,” Dahal told BNS over telephone.
The dead bodies of Giris are discharged after postmortem and are kept in a local funeral house.
Bhattarai, who sustained severe hand and leg fracture, suffered also lever bleeding and was admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
BNS contacted Krishna Bhattarai, brother of Amrit Bhattarai earlier today. “The doctors have become a bit optimistic about Amrit’s case,” Krishna said.
“From 2pm Wednesday until 10am Thursday, five people were killed in four separate car crashes, prompting police to remind drivers to take care on the roads,” writes couriermail.com.au, a local online.
Sashi Giri was survived by his wife and three children, eldest being 10, while Purna Giri have two daughters, the mother lactating the youngest of 2 months.
The funeral is expected to get completed as per the Hindu rituals. “We had an emergency meeting in our community which decided to bear the total funeral cost,” Dahal informed BNS.
Dahal expressed his happiness to the employees of the local funeral house, who wished to work voluntarily on Saturday. “It is their greatness that they wished to complete the funeral task on Saturday despite it being a public holiday,” he said.
In a separate telephone conversation from Sydney, Suman Chhetri informed BNS that they were evaluating if they needed to come up with some financial assistance.
The Giris were resettled in Australia from Sanischare refugee camp in Morang, Nepal.
While in camp, Purna Giri served as an assistant teacher for over a decade in a camp school managed by Caritas Nepal. Sashi Giri was a long time volunteer in Refugee Camp Security Unit.
