The residents of Paterakhalla, who were returning to Zenten after repairing their damaged houses in June, were displaced again on Friday after being able to be properly resettled.

After repairing the flood-damaged houses and removing the mud, they started living in the houses. If it rained, they stayed in the school again.

Ishwar Thapa, Police Inspector of District Police, said that the displaced people have not yet returned to their homes in Beldandi, Belauri and rehabilitation areas. With the cessation of rains, the flow of Mahakali and other rivers has decreased. But still the flooding of the settlement has not subsided. According to the police, the flow of the Mahakali reached 461 thousand cusecs on Friday and dropped to 200,000 cusecs on Saturday.
