LALITPUR: Lalitpur’s Bhaisepati residential area is recognized as a VIP zone. However, just a hundred meters southwest, the road is muddy.

With rainfall across the country due to Cyclone Montha, the daily routine of students walking on this road looks difficult.

On Thursday morning, a girl was going to school along this road, carrying her school shoes in her hands.

Her parent was holding an umbrella over her as she carefully walked, balancing to avoid slipping in her red plastic sandals.

I couldn’t help but wonder how many other students, like this girl, go to school carrying their shoes in their hands.
