It was so sad to read the news story “Yawning gap
between promises and delivery” (THT, April 18, Page 1) with regard to
the fulfillment of promises made by the government while signing an
agreement with the Mountaineering Association of Nepal last year after
the death of 16 mountaineering support staff and guides in the deadliest
avalanche on Mt. Everest. It is really disturbing to know that the
government has little done so far to address their major concerns.
In fact, this is not the new case of such irresponsible acts of the government and the concerned authorities, who sign such agreements in order to calm the agitating groups, but, such promises have been only partially or never materialized. Providing regular weather updates to the mountaineers, building the necessary infrastructures in Khumbu region and formulating a long term mountaineering development policy were the major promises made by the government. Among them, only one promise pertaining to 50 per cent hike on the insurance premium of mountain workers has been fulfilled. No specific action has so far been taken to address their safety as well as social security concerns. The bereaved family members are spending hard lives after losing their bread earners.
