Unlike in past, school textbooks reach Humla before academic year

By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Apr. 14: School textbooks have reached the Himalayan district of Humla, days before the start of the academic year.

Students would wait for months after the start of the academic year to get the books in the past. But this year, the students are elated that their complaints have been addressed.

Sarkegad, Chankheli Tajkot and Adanchuli rural municipalities located in the southern part of the district got the textbooks some three days ago, according to Lokenra Bhandari who was entrusted with responsibility to deliver the books there.

Mandev Shahi, another delivery person, however, lamented that he has yet to get the amount for transportation of the textbooks as he used vehicles to deliver books from Nepalgunj to the municipalities.

He said although the local levels were yet to reimburse the payment, he took loan from banks to purchase and deliver the books in time.

The local levels has to deposit the amount to the account of the concerned dealer for the schools to get the books.

Out of seven local levels in the district, textbooks have reached in four and transportation of books to remaining three is starting from Saturday, tomorrow. (translated from RSS Nepali news)
