A month after the flood, survivors have nowhere to go, no way to earn
Summary
A month after the Bhotekoshi floods devastated Rasuwa, displaced families are still living in holding centres and temporary shelters with roads, bridges and schools destroyed. Survivors say relief alone is not enough and are demanding transport links, permanent housing and restored livelihoods so they can return home and work again.
Key Points
- Roads, bridges, homes, schools and public offices remain destroyed a month after the Bhotekoshi floods in Rasuwa.
- Displaced families in Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading are relying on relief and newly approved monthly cash assistance, but many fear the support will not last.
- Farmers in flood-hit areas cannot take vegetables to market, leaving produce worth millions of rupees to rot in the fields.
- Local officials say permanent housing, rebuilt infrastructure and restored transport are essential for recovery.
