We have suffered a lot. We did not have anything in the name of assets. We were compelled to leave our village and had to limit ourselves to a small room. Finally, with a lot of struggle and hardship, we have constructed a small house for shelter.
We are originally from Pakal VDC-2 of Okhaldhunga. We had an oil mill which was the only means of income source to survive. But everything was destroyed and we were left with nothing to run livelihood.
My younger brother Ujjan Shrestha was killed on June 24, 1998 whereas elder brother Ganesh Kumar Shrestha was murdered on November 22, 2002.

But also we continued our struggle against injustice.
