दुःखी आमाहरुको तस्वीर कथा, बच्चा पाउन ९ दिनसम्म पैदल

Ladakh-child
परिवारमा नयाँ सदस्यको आगमन हरेक परिवारका लागि खुसीको क्षण हुन्छ । धेरैसँग लागि अस्पताल गएर सहज रुपमा सन्तान जम्माएको अनुभव होला । तर, उत्तर भारतको लद्दाखका आमाहरुको कथा भिन्न छ ।
दैनिक ८ घण्टासम्म हिडेर नवौं दिनमा चिकित्सक सुविधासम्म पुग्नु एक आमाका लागि कति संघर्षपूर्ण होला ? संर्घष यतिमै सकिन्न । आमा बनेपछि भर्खरै जन्मिएको शिशुलाई टोकरीमा राखेर माइनस ३५ डिग्री सेल्सियस चिसोमा ९ दिनसम्म हिडेर घर पुग्नु पर्र्छ ।

फाटो पत्रकार टिम भोल्मरले तस्वीर ती दुःखी आमाहरुको कथा उतारेका छन् । लद्दाखको एक परिवारले ११ हजार १२३ फीट उचाइमा रहेको हिउँले ढाकिएको नदी किनारमा गरेको संघर्षपूर्ण यात्रा तस्वीरमा समेटिएको छ । नदीको गति तिब्र भएपछि किनारमा भने हिउँ जमेको हुन्छ, जहाँको तापक्रम माइनस ३५ डिग्रिसम्म झर्छ ।

A different world: As there is no doctor or hospital facility in the village where the family live, they were forced to travel on foot down river Chadar, at an altitude of 11,123ft, for nine days - and then make the same journey back when the baby was born
 
No other option: The family had to bring food, blankets and other provisions on their backs or on sleds and camped out in caves at night before continuing their gruelling walk in the morning
Keeping warm: A cave in the mountainside serves as shelter for the night as the family gathers around a fire in the freezing cold night
 
As one: Family members brought larger sleds to be able to provide some relief for the mother as she recovers from giving birth
 
Travelling from Leh, the capital of Ladakh to Lingshed, where the hospital is takes around five days in the summer, but during the winder, snow closes the roads and mountain passes and the frozen river is the only way out
