Governance is not only providing immediate relief but also ensuring support so that survivors have the wherewithal to start new lives, experts say

A report released by the District Covid-19 Crisis Management Centre on Monday points at a high rate of infection among doctors, nurses and health workers at various hospitals.

Twenty villagers have gone missing in Sunday morning’s tragedy, said police.

Poor crop harvest for a lack of fertilisers has driven the locals to destroy cash crops and plant marijuana to stay afloat.

The father of the deceased had filed a complaint with District Police in Chitwan against Nepal Army personnel a month ago, but no one has been booked so far.

The historic palace was severely damaged in the 2015 earthquake.

Many families who were driven by the landslide in Lidi are not assured by the government’s plan to resettle them.

The landslide hit Lidi village in Jugal Rural Municipality Ward No. 2 on Friday morning.

One hundred and thirty-five displaced families are staying in Lapsedanda.

Lidi villagers say they knew a disaster was coming as the area weakened by the 2015 earthquakes was experiencing landslides since the start of the monsoon season.

Over a dozen houses were buried in the landslide that occurred at Lidi of Jugal Rural Municipality on Friday morning.

Monsoon spells disaster for locals living in riverbank settlements with garbage washed ashore by the overflowing river.

At least 24 incidents of landslides have been reported in the district since Sunday night, in which 300 families have been displaced, according to the District Disaster Management Committee.

Chitwan National Park has agreed to provide Rs 700,000 and the Rapti Municipal Office agreed to provide Rs 300,000 to the bereaved family.

The order comes following the detection of coronavirus in a 24-year-old man living in a quarantine facility in Suryagadhi Rural Municipality on Sunday.

The deceased’s family has accused Nepal Army personnel of fatally assaulting the youth last week inside Chitwan National Park.

Since the Jure landslide six years ago, Sindhupalchok has been getting back on its feet from one calamity—only to be brought to its knees by another.

The park’s move to evict the landless Chepang families by means of arson and vandalism has drawn widespread criticism.

Nepal Army has denied allegations of beating seven youths who had entered Chitwan National Park on July 16 without permission.

Nepal Chepang Sangh has submitted a memorandum to the chief district officer of Chitwan, demanding legal action against the guilty.
