Chitwan. An auto driver here has been providing free services to cancer patients. He has been providing free service from Pulchowk of Narayangadh to BP Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm every day.
Akash Aryal, 26, a permanent resident of Thori rural municipality-1 in Parsa, has been serving cancer patients. Patients coming from western Nepal in night buses have to take autos to reach the cancer hospital as soon as they get out of the bus.
He has been driving an auto in Bharatpur for the last four years and has heard stories of many cancer patients. Some patients used to share their grief with him while boarding the auto because he had run out of property for treatment, no money to buy medicines, and difficulty in food and accommodation.
“If I can help with my auto, why not? I started the service for free. With this thought, he started the service free of cost from matatirtha aunsi last year. He has been providing free of cost to patients and their relatives from Pulchowk to BP Koirala Cancer Hospital from 7:00 am to 10:00 am every morning.
“In the morning, many patients go to the hospital to get tokens, so I chose this time. He feels that buses coming from the west drop a lot of patients. Therefore, he said that the service was given on the basis of Pulchowk. Some of the patients who fell in Narayangadh in the bus come looking for his auto, while some of them went to the bus-bus and informed them.
Even after 10 o’clock, he has taken the rent of three patients including relatives and one patient. Even if he saw the old man walking on the road, he took them to the destination free of cost. At other times, Young Aryal drives an auto professionally and runs the family with the same income.
Aryal, who is preparing to go abroad, said that after listening to his maternal uncle’s foreign experience, he was determined to do something at home. “I want to stay in my own country and do my work and serve the distressed for some time,” he said. He has presented an example of the need for the mind, not money, for service.
