No Hope Of Return… Heartbreaking Story Of Indians Who Survived In Nepal

National News: The violent anti-government protests in Nepal not only shook the country from within but also put the Indian citizens present there in life-threatening danger. Due to the violence and riots that continued for several days, government offices, hotels, private properties and even the Parliament House were targeted. During this time, Indian tourists who had come to Nepal also got trapped in the fire of Kathmandu.

Due to the prompt efforts of the Indian government, most of the Indian citizens were brought back to the country safely, but the experience they brought back with them has become a lifelong fear for them. The stories shared by the returned citizens are spine-chilling.

Khyaati shared her ordeal 

Khyati, a resident of Dwarka, Delhi, had gone to Nepal for some personal work. During the trip, she was staying in a hotel in Kathmandu when the violence and arson were at their peak. She said that my hotel was only half an hour away from the airport but it did not seem safe to go out at all. The protesters had now started setting hotels on fire. Khyati also recorded a video of the violence outside her hotel room.

When the situation went out of control, she requested the hotel manager to take her to the airport but she was told that going out could be even more fatal. After waiting for hours, she somehow reached the airport and returned to India.

Condition of Indians stranded in Nepal

Rajesh Devi Singh Gola, a resident of Ghaziabad, had come to Kathmandu with his wife to spend the holidays. When his hotel became the target of the mob, to save his life, he tied the curtains and sheets on the window to make a rope and tried to climb down. His son Vishal Gola said that my parents had booked a room in Hyatt Regency.

When they returned after the protest on 9 September, the protesters entered the hotel and started setting it on fire. His father made a rope by joining the curtains and bedsheets and brought my mother down first. When my mother reached the second floor, she lost control and fell down. Blood was flowing from her head. Then an army jeep came and took my mother away, but left my injured father there.

Kathmandu Violence Claims Indian Life

Later when his father somehow reached the hospital, he was told that his wife had died. He said that this incident is a deep shock for our entire family. We have not yet recovered from it. However, the Kathmandu administration has not yet confirmed the death of Rajesh Devi Singh Gola, but if it is confirmed, this will be the first death of an Indian in Nepal violence.
