Rasuwa. Two and a half months have passed since the massive flood in the Bhotekoshi River and the risk of erosion and landslide has not diminished, demanding that the settlement be shifted to a safer place.

TAG_OPEN_div_14 Local Nima Kaisang Tamang said that Hakubensi village is at full risk after the flood in the Bhotekoshi river started eroding the lower part of the village. According to him, the written demand of the community has been submitted through the Chief District Officer for relocation to safer places as the landslide continues to take place due to the weak topography even after a long time of flooding. A school and a police station in the village have also been in crisis due to floods and erosion.

Buchung Tamang, chairperson of Ama Chhodingmo Rural Municipality, said that the government should guarantee the right to safe shelter to the people at risk of floods and landslides.TAG_OPEN_div_12
