Jajarkot. The house of Khamb Bahadur Rokay, 46, of Banskoti in Nalgad Municipality-3 of Jajarkot was swept away by the landslide. His family of six is now living in the house of neighbor Prem Bahadur Budha. Similarly, the house of Bhim Bahadur Dangi of Kothigaun in Nalgad-4 was buried by a landslide on July 16 while another house is in danger. Dangi said that the family of five was living in Khulachaur with a tripod. Dangi complained that he has not received any relief so far.
A dozen houses including Gorakh Kami, Gorakh BK, Pratap Gharti, Tak Bahadur Pun, Gyan Bahadur Kami, and Pan Bahadur Thapal in Banskoti are at risk due to the landslide. The landslide has not only damaged the houses but also destroyed paddy and maize and fruit plants planted in the fields. Local Bhuwan KC says that the risk of landslides has increased due to indiscriminate digging of roads without environmental impact assessment and study.
The risk of landslides has increased while digging the road connecting Kaina Banskoti, Katke, Kiteni, Kalimati Ghuwara, and Aul Seema Kothigaun. Development, on the other hand, has led to destruction. The risk of landslides has increased while the Nalgad Municipality is constructing roads indiscriminately. There is a risk of floods and landslides in the district when the local level is constructing roads by using dozers without conducting environmental impact assessment and study.
The risk of landslides has increased in Jajarkot due to indiscriminate digging. More than a dozen rural roads including Khalanga Panchkatia, Kalimati Barekot, Chheda Thalah, Thalah Sanakhola Junichande, Thalah Batulle Tapuchaur, Panchkatiya Pack, Panchkatiya Kushe Bharma, Kalimati Kaina, and Kalimati Khantakura have been blocked since the first week of June.
