One refugee killed as Indian police open fire; Home Ministry urges restraint.

One refugee has been killed after Indian police opened fire to prevent them from crossing Mechi bridge, Tuesday.

Saha Bahadur Dewan, a refugee from Pathari camp, died of bullet wounds as he was being taken to hospital in Dharan.

Likewise, at least 100 Bhutanese refugees were injured when Indian police used force to prevent them from crossing the Mechi Bridge on the Nepal-Indian border on the second day of their 'Long March' to Bhutan.

Reports say the Indian police opened fire and used several rounds teargas shells after hundreds of refugees tried to cross the Mechi Bridge in Jhapa to enter India. The injured refugees have been undergoing treatment at Mechi Zonal Hospital and the condition of a few of them is said to be critical. According to state-owned Radio Nepal, the Indian police apprehended eight Bhutanese refugees during the clash.

Situation remains tense in and around Mechi Bridge due to frequent clashes between the refugees and Indian security men. India has deployed Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and combat forces of West Bengal Police to the refugees' Long March.

Over 15000 refugees are participating in the Long March.

Meanwhile, Home Ministry has issued a statement urging for restraint in Mechi border. Stating that Nepal government had always backed the right to dignified repatriation of the refugees, the Ministry has appealed to the refugees to stop intensifying tension in the border region and return back to the camps.

Beldangi curfew stays

Meanwhile, indefinite curfew continues in Beldangi refugee camp in Jhapa. The Jhapa district administration had imposed indefinite curfew there to prevent violence in the wake of relentless protests following the death of a refugee youth in police firing on Sunday. Another refugee was killed on Monday in police action when the refugees attacked the police and defied curfew orders. Some police personnel were also injured in the clash.

भारतीय प्रहरीको गोलीबाट कयौं शरणार्थी घाईते:-


भारतीय सुरक्षाकर्मीले बल प्रयोग गर्दा दर्जनौ शरणार्थीहरू घाईते भएका छन्
स्वदेश फिर्तीको प्रयास गरिरहेका भुटानी शरणार्थीहरुमाथि भारतीय सुरक्षाकर्मीले मेची पुल पारीबाट गोली प्रहार गर्दा कम्तीमा १० जना घाईते भएका छन्।
मुठभेडमा अरु १०० जना जतिलाई चोटपटक लागेको छ।

सोमबार दिउंसोदेखि भारतीय सुरक्षाकर्मीले स्वदेश फिर्तीको प्रयास गरीरहेका हजारौं शरणार्थीहरुमाथि लाठि, अश्रुग्यास र ढुङ्गा प्रहार गरि रोक्ने प्रयास गर्दा मंगलबार अबेरसम्म तनावको स्थिति रहेको थियो।

भारत सरकारले त्यस क्षेत्रमा कसैले पनि आवतजावत गर्न नपाउने गरी कर्फ्यु आदेश जारी गरेको छ।

शरणार्थीहरूले उनीहरूको समस्यालाई भारत सरकारले सम्वोधन नगरेसम्म मेची पुलको धर्ना नछाड्ने बताएका छन्।

एकजना शरणार्थी नेता मोहन तामाङले भने, 'व्यवस्थित ढङ्गले अगाडि बढ्नुपर्छ भन्ने हाम्रो चाहना हो। तर दूर्भाग्यवश उतापट्टिबाट विशेष गरी अश्रुग्याँस प्रहार हुँदाखेरी हाम्रा नानीहरू बिचलित छन्, साथीहरू बिचलित भएका छन्।'

'जबसम्म हामी भुटान पुग्दैनौ, जबसम्म भारत आफैं समावेश भएर भुटानी शरणार्थी समस्या समाधान गर्दैन तबसम्म हाम्रो आन्दोलन जारी रहनेछ,' उनले भने।

विभिन्न शरणार्थी शिविरहरूबाट मंगलबार पनि शरणार्थीहरू बस र ट्रकका छतमा चढेर तथा सडकमा लस्करै पैदल मेची पुलतर्फ गैरहेका थिए।

घाईते शरणार्थीहरूलाई स्थानीय स्वास्थ्यकर्मीले घटनास्थलमै उपचार गरिरहेका छन्।

कतिपयलाई स्थानीय सवारी साधन तथा एम्बुलेन्समा राखेर अस्पताल पु-याउने काम भैरहेको छ।

भारतीय सुरक्षाकर्मीको अवरोध तोड्न खोज्ने एक दर्जन भन्दा बढिलाई उनीहरूले पक्राउ गरेको शरणार्थीहरूले बताएका छन्।

केही शरणार्थीहरू भागदौडमा मेची पुलबाट खसेर घाईते भएका छन्।

स्वदेश फिर्ती र तेश्रो मुलुक स्थानान्तरणका विषयमा भएको विवाद आइतबार दङ्गामा परिणत हुँदा दुईजनाको ज्यान समेत गएको थियो भने बेल्डाँगीस्थित शरणार्थी शिविरको अवस्था मंगलबारबाट सामान्य बनेको छ।

स्थानिय प्रशासनले उक्त क्षेत्रमा लगाएको कर्फ्यु आदेश हटाएको छ।
