A candlelight vigil ceremony was organized at the local Bhugol Park in New Road, on Sunday commemorating those who lost their lives in the 'Gorkha earthquake' that struck the country on April 25, 2015. The ceremony was organized by the Yogi Narharinath Trust Spiritual Council and Hanuman Aradhana Mandal Nepal. On the occasion, tributes were paid to the departed souls following certain rituals. Council Chair Shankar Poudel complained that the government failed to do justice to the families of those killed in the disaster and its survivors. There was no just distribution of relief assistance received by the government from various donor agencies for the disaster survivors, he argued. Different political leaders and commoners were at the Bhugol Park to remember the dead souls on the first anniversary of the devastating earthquake that ended in the tragic death of around 9,000 people.
