  • Pregnant women, children and the elderly living in Tripal started falling ill

Three-week-old Sita Thami is spending a sleepless night on the cold floor under a tripal. A newborn baby has a cold. Manju Thami, who is 17 days pregnant, also lives in Tripal.

"Tripal lives on the cold ground, it is not possible to light a fire to keep warm," she said, adding that the food has also run out. The one and a half kg of rice that was given as relief is over. She has been spending seven nights in the Sahara of Tripal for 2 weeks after the landslide damaged her house in the middle of the night on Saturday, August 8.

43 families of Doramba Shailung Rural Municipality-1 Daduwa of Ramechhap have been displaced by landslides, some are living on the road and some on the hill in the Sahara of Tripal since 2 weeks. 32 families from the minority Thami community of Muzuwa Salletar in Daduwa, 6 families from Mansire, 3 families from Patle and 2 families from Nagi were displaced by the landslide. 193 people of these houses are spending the night in Tripal looking for a safe place.

'When she was 7 days pregnant, the landslide destroyed the house, she has no food, Tripal is also leaking and it is difficult to protect the child,' Sita said, 'Banibuto used to run the house, not even that. On the same night, 8 people died in a landslide in Doramba Shailung-3 and 2 people are missing. She said that only the families of those who died were given relief and accommodation. "We poor people, who were made homeless by the landslide, will not continue to come to Tripal," said Sita, "if they were pressed by the landslide, they would have come to see, the rain and wind have started to tear Tripal too."

The municipality gave 8 sacks of rice, 2 sacks of chiura, 10 cartons of cooking oil, 12 blankets and a roll of mats to the landslide victims of Daduwa. Manju said that relief was shared by everyone. "We have received only one and a half kg of rice that was distributed by the municipality," she said. He says that the planted corn and millet are also in more trouble after the landslide washed away the fields.

``We were running the family by doing Banibuto,'' Manju said, 'We did not go to Banibuto after Pahira made us homeless. Lakshmi Thami, who was also pregnant, said that there was nothing to eat after the landslide took away the planted corn and millet. "We are staying in relief tents and tripals," she said, "it is a lake village, it has started to get cold, and the house is still suffering from the problem of katounla grass."

Mangle Thami, a member of the ward, said that after the Jholunge bridge of the Tindhara river was swept away by the landslide on Thursday night, communication with the municipality and the headquarters of Manthali along with the village ward was broken. According to him, 32 children of the village have not been able to go to school since the suspension bridge was washed away. He said that the municipality sent some relief to those who were displaced by the landslide. He said that most of the people living in Tripal were sick. "I myself have been displaced and lived in Tripal's shed," he said, "maternities, minors and the elderly have been injured, most of them have fallen ill."

Chairman Mainkumar Moktan said that all the wards of the municipality have been damaged by landslides. "The landslide has damaged all the 7 wards of the municipality, we are managing it as per the need," he said.
