On the 29th of June, the rise of Dharche Rural Municipality-2 on the bank of Runchet river washed away four dams. Locals were in trouble for almost a month after the mill, which has been used for grain grinding for years, was destroyed. But now, with the help of the local people, Gurung, a Newar from Runchet, has built and put it into operation at a place called Kyungcha.


Earlier, 300 households were grinding grain in four mills, but now only one mill has been milled, and now it is time to grind grain for 24 hours.

Newar Gurung of Runchet is known throughout the village as a tough operator. His discussion is also separate. In Runchet, which has a settlement of 300 houses, it was Gurung who first operated Panighat from 2054. During the 27 years of its operation, it has been swept away by a thick river three times. But he has not stopped operating.

Last time, the floods of the last week of June washed away four dams on the banks of the Runchet River, including the oldest one operated by Gurung. Runchet residents of Dharche Rural Municipality-2, who had left their homes after the strict operation, were in trouble for almost a month . The same 57-year-old Newar Gurung, who is in a state of disrepair, spent two weeks building a new ghat after the ghat was destroyed to the point where the

name was no longer there. There is a pressure on the re-operation of the Ghat. "Earlier there were four mills in the village, they used to run all day and shut down at night," said Sumitra Gurung, a local, "now there is only one mill, even though it is running 24 hours a day, the grain is not being ground". Villagers have been waiting for hours for grinding grain in the same bowl.

At present, Bhartheg of Kutani Pisani of Runchetwasi is running from the same Ghat newly constructed in Gurung . The Newar took 13 days to build the ghat. The locals helped in preparing the land for the construction, pounding stones, and making hard work. Madani, Janto, Madani and other materials were collected by Newar himself. Newar said that since

is being operated on the river bank, it has been swept twice. "It's been 27 years, I've run it hard, I've lost two batches, I've made this for the third time," he said. In Runchet, which does not have access to central electricity transmission, the mail was operated by local micro-hydroelectric power until a few years ago. At present the said mill is also not in use .

Sowani Gurung, wife of Newar, said that Ghat is used in grinding grain. He says that after Ghatbaga, which was half an hour away from the village, now he built it at a place called Kyungcha near his house. "After the river cut down, there was no place to build it," she said, "Now we have built a dam near the village." "Most of the goods have been carried by the river, some old and some new goods have been made," she said.

Sumitra said that corn, wheat, millet and other grains are ground in the ghat. There is a practice of providing 15 rupees per pathi or the same amount of grain as wages to the operator of the ghat for grinding grain in the ghat. Locals say that because the taste of flour that is ground in thick is different, they go to the grain for grinding.

is a device that moves with the flow of thick water like a spinning rod. Paddy is not cultivated in the northern region of Gorkha. Water is still very popular for grinding locally produced corn, wheat, millet and other grains. The flood of the last week of June swept away 3 of the four dams on the banks of the Runchet river and damaged one.
