Babiyachaur (Myagdi), May 26: People from Baisari village which was engulfed by the dry landslide begun from Kaphaldanda of Ramche-9 have demanded the government to immediately manage resettlement.
Fifteen households from Baisari of Bhagawati-2 and 11 households from Aul of Ramche-9 have said there was no chance of returning to their village after massive landslide occurred two days back which even blocked the Kaligandaki River.
The settlements on the banks of the Kaligandaki River are now turned to the wasteland with the landslide.
The villagers are now in shelters managed temporarily by the District Disaster Management Committee, Red Cross, and the local organizations. The Dhaulagiri Primary School of Risin Chautari has turned into their shelters.
Bhimsen KC displaced after the landslide said, "As the children's classes will be disrupted by our stay here, we don't want to stay here for long, neither can we go to our villages on the banks of the River. So, durable resettlement is urgent."
Similarly, another displaced Top Bahadur KC said the landslip was still continuous posing further risk. "So, we need our trustful resettlement."
Meanwhile, a technical team of Nepal Army had an onsite inspection of the obstructed Beni-Jomsom road and planned to clear the blockades and even regulate the safe flow of the dammed Kaligandaki River to minimize further risks. RSS
