DHARAN, Oct 13: A handicapped youth has been left in despair, after his wheelchair was completely damaged in the Zion Church incident in Dharan 19. Tirtha Dural, 22, who is currently studying at Namuna Jyoti Higher Secondary School of Beltar, also lost his wallet during the incident, which contained Rs 4000. Duaral had saved the money to buy books. [break]



Dural, who had topped SLC examination of 2007, had to discontinue his studies for two years due to his handicap. Now that he has lost his wheelchair, it has almost become impossible for him to attend his high-school, which is about half-an-hour walk from his home.







Dural was handicapped at the age of two, when both his legs stopped working. As he is now forced to crawl to move around, he has many bruises in his legs and hands.



Dural is supported by the Disabled and Helpless Rehabilitation Service Center. However, as the center does not have any wheelchairs at the moment. Director of the center Sunil Khadka has asked for help from Christian Community of Sunari to provide Dural with a wheelchair.
