The Keraunja folks who were rendered homeless by the April 25 earthquake and were residing in makeshift huts have also moved to safer locations fearing the worst, said a local Suk Bahadur Gurung.

The heavy downpour on Friday triggered massive landslides in the village that developed deep fissures in the recent earthquake. The landslides also buried food stuffs that the people here got in relief assistance after the earthquake. People of the areas vulnerable to landslide have been urged to move to safer places, according to Deputy Superintendent of Police Arjun Chand Thakuri.

The District Natural Disaster Rescue Committee is preparing to evacuate the people of risky settlements, it is learnt.
