Heatwave in Tarai, labour to education affected

 For the past few days, the life of daily wage laborers has become difficult due to heat.

Krishna Tharu, 30, says it's difficult for laborers like her to work in the searing heat because it's their main source of income.

Due to a lack of land, she has been working as a laborer for the past 15 years.

"The rising heat may cause me to feel dizzy." But there is no satisfaction till this labor is done. "I have to work," she explained, adding that the route between Dang and Nepalgunj is being built.

Even when the temperature rises, he and other female employees are hard at work.

He and his friends say that it is more difficult to work as the days are also long in the summer.

Workers, on the other hand, complain that the increased heat in Birgunj has made it harder to forgo morning and evening meals.

According to the Meteorological Forecasting Division, the highest temperature in most regions of the Tarai has above 41 degrees Celsius.

According to the Department, the maximum temperature in Simara and Janakpur has surpassed 40 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature in Nepalgunj, Birendranagar, Bhairahawa, and Biratnagar has risen to 41 degrees Celsius.

When compared to Monday, the temperature has reduced marginally in Nepalgunj, Bhairahawa, Dhangadhi, and Doti.

Birgunj's Bijmohan Majhi works as a rickshaw driver. He claims that the heat has made it impossible to get passengers and drive rickshaws in the scorching sun.

"The sun and hot air are now going to make you sick." But I needed to work to survive. "There is no income because people are staying indoors," he explained.

"The heat has made it difficult to avoid eating two meals, but if we work anyway, there is no one to climb."

Many daily wage workers in Bir Ganj have had similar experiences.

Not only the daily life of the people, but now it is difficult to go to many areas of the Tarai to do the work of government offices. In urban areas, there is very little movement of people.

People say that it is difficult to go out of the house in the afternoon and work.

Manmaya Basnet, who came to Nepalgunj from Humla for work, said that her work has been affected due to the heat.

"It's just like it's coming to Nepalgunj to eat heat," she said. If you have to sit in line in the office, it is like falling in line due to heat. ’’

"I was very hot when I arrived here from Surkhet." "It's difficult to stay indoors in the afternoon, let alone walk," he remarked.

People who have lived in Nepalgunj for many years have noticed that the temperature is rising.

To beat the heat, local inhabitant Bhakta Pun bathes four times a day in cool water.

"Even when you sit there, you keep sweating profusely, and within 10 minutes of bathing, you start sweating again."

According to Radhika Thapa of Nepalgunj, if you need to go to the market for work, you must wait in the morning and evening.

"It's like a fire when you leave the house in the afternoon." Even though the voltage is low within the house, the fan does not provide adequate ventilation.

According to the Meteorological Forecasting Division of the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, the country is currently under the impact of both westerly and local winds.

Bhairahawa, Simara and Janakpur have been recording temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius in the morning and evening hours for the past few days.

Chief District Officer of Rupandehi, Bharat Mani Pandey, said that schools have been closed in the border areas around Bhairahawa due to the heat wave.

On the other side, certain schools in Birgunj and the eastern Terai region have been closed.

Arvind Lal Karna, Chief of the Birgunj Metropolitan City Education Section, stated that the decision to close the schools was made after children and pupils fainted in the classroom owing to the high heat.

According to Dr. Uday Narayan Singh, a spokeswoman for Narayani Hospital, the number of patients in the hospitals has increased due to the heat.

Farmers have also been unable to sow seeds in the fields due to a shortage of water, and in some areas, the seeds have begun to dry up.
