Gravel-sand is being excavated from Kaligandaki by using big machines in Barkha's Bhel as well. From June to August, mining of river materials such as sand, gravel, stones etc. has been banned, but exploitation has not been stopped.
Jalkini, Nayapul, Sahasradhara, Gopanghat, Rajako Bagar of Kushma Municipality and Khaniaghat, Farse, Kerabari, Milanchok, Baribeni and other places of Jaljala Rural Municipality are being excavated under the cover of night. Locals have said that sand and gravel are being extracted in Falewas municipality and Modi village. I had heard that it is not possible to extract material from the river in Barkha. But surprisingly, the police do not see the JCV dancing in the river all night. The people of the local government are engaged in exploitation', a resident of Nagliwang said, 'Some of our friends have also received money to keep their mouths shut. In winter, there is a drama of monitoring. But in Barkha, there is a situation when there is a lot of goods in the river.'
Netra Prasad Paudel, the chief administrative officer of Kushma municipality, admits that the river has been exploited. He said that he has written several letters to the district administration, district coordination and police for monitoring and control. "Since there is no police in our town, we will ask for the help of the Nepal Police," he said, "once when he went on a monitoring mission with Sidiosahav, some of them were arrested and handed over to the police to take action." In the eviction order, it was asked to stop until the final decision of the decision and action writ petition was made with the aim of affecting the beauty of the river Kaligandaki and changing the natural flow of the river, building a dam, exporting Shaligram and ballast, and stealing sand. Due to this order, the local level has not been able to award contracts on the Kaligandaki River for four years. However, on November 11th, Supreme Court Judge Dr. After the bench of Kumar Chudal and Vinod Sharma dismissed the writ, the Jaljala Rural Municipality opened the contract for the extraction of riverine materials. Chief Administrative Officer Poudel said that Kushma municipality will separate the ghatgaddi and open the contract in October after the drought.
Chief District Officer Hari Prasad Adhikari said that they are serious about exploiting the Kaligand river. He said that no one got permission to dig the river using machines in the dry season. "We have stopped it until we know," he said, "The district coordination chief is out." As soon as he arrives, we will hold a meeting and move forward.' It is not difficult to understand that the river is being excavated even by the tipper carrying stones, gravel and sand every day and the sand dumped on the side of the highway. On the other hand, District Coordination Committee chief Bishnuram Vick, who is in charge of monitoring, said that the issue of exploitation of Kaligandaki river is just a rumour.
