Nine police units situated in the mountainous areas of Dolpa, Humla and Mugu districts of the Karnali Province have been shifted to the respective district police office after severe cold made it difficult for the units to operate.

 According to the Province Police Office in Surkhet, a total of 53 security personnel posted in the units have been deputed to the district police offices for two months. 

“It is not possible to stay in the police units there due to the cold and snowfall. Mobile police teams will patrol the areas from time to time,” said Deputy Inspector General of Police Bhim Prasad Dhakal.
