Anna Bhandar Bhawan has been constructed in Madhuvan Municipality-1 Pattharbozhi to protect food from wild animals on the Khata Biological Route connected with Bardia National Park. The building was constructed at a cost of around 1.3 million rupees with the labor donation of the Division Forest Office, Bright Nepal, Madhuvan Municipality and locals.
In Pattharbozhi, where 90 percent of the houses are unmade, concrete buildings were constructed after the elephants destroyed the houses and damaged the food collected by the farmers.
After the construction of the building with the help of Madhuwan Municipality and Orangut Nepal, the farmers here have started bringing rice, wheat, mustard and other food items and keeping them here. Navraj Neupane, district president of Bright Nepal, said that the farmers here have benefited after the construction of a building with a capacity of about 30,000 kg of grain storage. There is a granary on the upper floor and a Kutani Pisani mill on the lower floor. Farmers affected by the elephants have started storing grain here.
Dhaniram Tharu, a farmer and ward member of Madhuvan Municipality-1, said that after the construction of the granary building, the grain brought in by farmers has been protected and the loss of livelihood has been stopped. Bardiya National Park and Khata are the stone-burdened areas of the biological route, and the wild animals use to come and go. In this financial year, about a dozen houses have been destroyed by elephants.
