Krishna Dhungana Who’s End In Afghanistan
Krishna Dhungana Who’s End In Afghanistan
The government had sent a Nepal Airlines Corporation aircraft to Kabul to bring the bodies home. Other 24 Nepalis, who were also working as security guards in Kabul, also returned home on the same NAC flight. Families and friends of the deceased who had reached Tribhuvan International Airport to receive the bodies broke down in tears as the pink-and-white coffins, tagged with the names of the dead, were lined up. “He was the sole breadwinner of the family. We don’t know what will happen now,” said Aastha Rana Magar, 18, daughter of Chandra Bahadur Rana Magar who died in the attack. Chandra, a Nepal Police official who had survived an ambush by the rebel Maoists during the insurgency, had gone to Afghanistan two years ago. “He used to work for a security agency in Kathmandu. But he decided to go to Afghanistan so that he could make a decent earning,” said Aastha. Sanjita Lama, 30, mother of a three-and-a-half-month-old son, had camped out at TIA for seven hours, to receive the body of her husband Jitendra Singh Thapa.
