A 22-year-old mentally disturbed pregnant woman, who had been tied with a rope for six months at a bamboo grove near her home was rescued by local women rights activists and police personnel from Triyuga Municipality, Udayapur, today. Sirjana Karki (Khadka) was rescued and admitted to District Hospital Udayapur for treatment. Sirjana was chained at a bamboo grove near her home by family members for six months. She is five months pregnant. SP Nar Bahadur KC of District Police Office said that women rights activists and police personnel had rescued the Sirjana immediately after the incident was reported to them. Women rights activists have set up a fund for her treatment. “The fund collected Rs 20,000 today alone,” Bala Khatiwada said, adding, “After the necessary fund is collected, Sirjana will be sent to the Capital for treatment”. According to Bhola Chaudhary, who is attending on Sirjana, her hands, legs and whole body have received several bruises. With her parental home Ladabhir, Sindhuli, Sirjana was married to Manoj Khadka three years ago. Her father-in-law Bhim Bahadur said that Sirjana was admitted to Patan Hospital, Lalitpur after she suffered from mental disturbance some time after her marriage. “She could not be kept at the hospital for treatment as suggested by doctors due to fund crunch,” said Bhim Bahadur. After Sirjana conceived, her husband Manoj too disappeared from the village two months ago. “I do not know where my son is. The condition of the daughter-in-law is miserable,” said Bhim Bahadur, adding, “She was chained out of obligation to prevent her from fleeing home.” त्रियुगा नपा-५ भातिखर्ककी २२ वर्षीया सृजना कार्की (खड्का) उपचार अभावमा ६ महिनादेखि दाम्लोमा बाँधिएर बस्न बाध्य भएकी छन् । मानसिक रोग लागेकी खड्का ८ महिनाको गर्भ लिएर दाम्लोमा बाँधिएकी हुन् । गर्भवती भएको दुई महिनामा पति बेपत्ता भएको र माइती पक्षलेसमेत चासो नदिएपछि उनी बिचल्लीमा परेकी हुन् । पतिले छाडेपछि बृद्ध सासू ससुराले बिरामी बुहारीको हेरविचार गरिरहेका छन् । ससुरा भिमबहादुर खड्काले भने-‘छोरा कहाँ गयो ? अत्तोपत्तो छैन । बिरामी बुहारीको हामी बुढाबुढीले कसरी स्याहार गरौं ?’ सिन्धुलीको लदाभिर गाविसबाट ०७० फागुनमा विवाह भई भातिखर्क आएकी खड्काको माइती पक्षले समेत कुनै चासो दिएका छैनन् । छोरी बिरामी भएको जानकारी गराउँदासमेत माइती पक्ष हेर्न र बिरामीको बारेमा बुझ्न नआएको भिमबहादुरले जानकारी दिए । उनले भने-‘बुहारी बिरामी भएको यत्रो दिन भयो । जन्म दिने बाबुआमा त भेट गर्न आउनु पर्ने हो । उनीहरू पनि आएका छैनन ।’ ०७१ जेठमा ललितपुरको मानसिक अस्पताल लगेर चेकजाँच गराएको भिमबहादुरले बताए । उनले भने-‘चिकित्सकको नियमित निगरानीमा औषधि सेवन गर्नु भनेको थियो । तर, आर्थिक अभाव भएकाले पुनः उता (अस्पताल) लान सकिएन ।’ गर्भवती महिला त्यसमा पनि गोडामा ठूलो चोट लाग्दा उपचारमा समस्या भएको जिल्ला अस्पतालका मेडिकल सुपरिटेण्डेण्ट डा. विष्णुबहादुर बस्नेतले बताए । उनको गोडाको घाउ जटिल बन्दै गएको छ । आर्थिक अभावकै कारण उपचारमा समस्या भएको ससुरा खड्काको भनाइ छ । गर्भवतीको अवस्था जटिल बन्दै गएपछि स्थानीय सङ्घसंस्थाको सहयोगमा उनलाई उपचारका लागि साउन २६ गते जिल्ला अस्पताल ल्याइएको छ ।
