Kathmandu,2009/7/12: I’m writing about some worst condition of slums in Nepal, Every year World Bank and different western countries like UK, Japan, USA and India is giving Crores of Rupees for the development of slums, their sanitation and health. No government authorities have really inspected whether the money is really spent or gone to the NGO owner’s pocket. Now-a-days in Nepal lots of NGO’s are registering like Mushrooms for improving their life styles only. I went to different slums to see whether the money is really spent or not and what I saw, brought tears to my eyes. The way people suffering, hundreds of people using one latrine, they are drinking dirty water and suffering from many diseases. This is not the condition of my city only, but everywhere in the world poor people are suffering and lots of money going for rich man’s pocket. When I went to see their sanitation I could not believe my eyes, one latrine with no walls can u believe it. People are maintaining their life like these days, months, years, even the whole life time. They are using canal water, where lots of wastage, medical wastage flowing everyday .Their life is worst than stray dogs and animals. I asked some women how they are doing their sanitation, latrine in this condition ,they told me ,"what to do our life is like this sir...we have to finish this very early morning, but in day time we face severe problem, nobody is in administration here to listen us or to solve our problems. This is really pathetic and disgusting.
