Children from Kathmandu’s holding centres endure hours in traffic to reach their schools, sparking debate over whether to prioritise school continuity or proximity.

Around 15 families will be relocated on Wednesday as the government moves to shut down the temporary shelter, where food supplies were halted earlier this month.

Landless families evicted from Kathmandu’s riverbanks are being sent to their permanent home districts as Valley municipalities cite a lack of land for resettlement.

Nine-year-old Bishwanath Gurung has survived eviction, displacement and floods, but family instability and bureaucratic hurdles threaten his future.

Flood-displaced families say shifting to Bhaktapur could derail children’s education unless the government delivers on transport promises.

Families relocated from riverbanks lose their homes and belongings again as the government's holding centre floods.

At the Kirtipur holding centre, families displaced by eviction surveyed the damage after a night of rising waters and lost possessions.

Overnight flooding inundated the Radha Soami Satsang Beas holding centre in Kirtipur, washing away clothes, medicines, schoolbooks and other essentials that families had managed to save after the April evictions.

Hundreds of displaced families were left uncertain about their next meal after food distribution stopped for nearly two days, before authorities restored the service on Tuesday evening.

Authorities say assistance deadlines have expired, but many residents say delays in promised payments have left them with nowhere to go and little to live on.

Weeks after families from informal riverbank settlements were displaced, some children remain unenrolled, while others attend school under uncertain arrangements amid poor coordination.

Residents worry about losing temporary shelter before a permanent resettlement plan is in place.

Families have been asked to vacate the centres with Rs25,000 relief, and Rs15,000 monthly rent support for three months.

Young children are bearing the brunt of life in holding centres, where parents worry about nutrition, sickness and unsafe conditions.
