Palpa. An iron pit has been erected near a tree on the side of the road. Pawan Kumal, a child, is trying to find the happiness of life by being locked in the same pit. 11-year-old Pawan, a resident of Tilakpur of Rampur Municipality-6 in Palpa, has been living in an iron pit for about one and a half years.
His age is to go to school and study, learn and learn new things while enjoying with friends. If you can’t speak, but if you see a person, it is painful for anyone who sees the tragic scene of smiling and pointing towards him with his hand. If someone does not want to come near him, he urged them to come towards him at his own gesture (incomprehensible voice). Pawan does not want to stay locked in the pit, but due to physical and mental illness, he has to stay in the pit due to compulsion.
Pawan, who is unable to speak, cannot walk properly, is happy to come out of the pit. It is not that Pawan does not want to walk and play around the village. Pawan’s face glows with joy when he enjoys the world outside the pit. Due to weak physical and mental condition, the happiness of life has been reduced to an iron pit.
His happiness has been robbed inside an iron pit placed on a tree on the side of the road. Pawan’s mother, Purnamaya Kumal, said that due to physical and mental disabilities, they could not be kept at home. “I can’t do any household chores, not just looking at my son, i have to work in the morning and evening to eat, so i have to go out to the road and village, so I have kept an iron pit for safety when it is difficult to protect my son from the car when I am at home on the side of the road,” he said. You have to do anything when you are forced. ’
It has become Pawan’s compulsion to stay locked in a pit. With the heat of iron in the scorching summer season, the colors of happiness of life have been robbed of the same. The zinc sheet on the iron pit, it has also been made in the condition of being covered with normal wood. There is no condition to live in the hot sun when there is a big water, wind. There is a fear of blowing up the zinc sheet when the storm comes. He has been going through this problem since birth. Pawan called, pointing to the pedestrians and passengers walking through the iron pit. Even if he does not come to speak, this scene of calling with his hand on a smiling face makes everyone emotional. He has found a way to be happy all the time even if he is locked inside the pit.
The family did not take his son to various hospitals for treatment. According to the condition of the family, all possible help is being provided to Pawan’s treatment. Father Krishna Bahadur has been working abroad for the last eight years to raise his son and pay for his treatment. Purnamaya said that there is no land and he has been earning a living by cultivating neighbours in the village to sustain his life. Pawan is the eldest of Purnamaya’s twin sons. The condition of the youngest son, Pavin, is good. She is upset when one of the two children she gave birth to at the same time locked up in another iron cage studying in Class 6. According to Purnamaya, she was able to carry out household chores at a cost of Rs 20,000 to protect herself from accidents.
“Seeing the son kept in an iron pit, some people abuse him, the financial condition of the family is weak, the son is not allowed to look after, he has to work to cultivate crops, care has to be done, I am the only guardian in the house, the sufferer knows what the pain is rather than the seer, keep it in the cage when there is work, take care of it when there is no work, i sleep with him in the evening.” He narrated his grief. Pawan was treated for his leg at banepa-based hospital in Kavrepalanchowk when he was one year old. Although there was some improvement in the leg after treatment, he suddenly complained of heart problems before the surgery was done, he said, adding that he underwent a heart surgery with the help of Rampur Municipality at Shaheed Gangalal National Heart Centre.
Purnamaya said that the doctor had asked for the brain surgery, but he could not do it due to the financial condition. Pawan has been suffering from various problems like brain, feet of both legs, inability to speak. The family is worried about his son’s condition. According to the family, they want to undergo brain surgery if they get financial support from anywhere.
