After the devastating earthquake of 2072, traditional kundule (round) houses have started to collapse. There were many such houses in most places of the district before the earthquake. Now they have left such houses. Traditional kundu houses have to be built in open squares and parks at the expense of millions.
The Magar community used to build houses with mud until the previous generation. Fattesinh Darlami, Ward President of Nisdi Rural Municipality-2, Sahalkot, said that such houses, which were destroyed with increasing modernity, disappeared because no one rebuilt them after they collapsed in the earthquake. According to him, after the last earthquake of 2072 cracked and destroyed such houses, no one built them when they were rebuilt. "During the reconstruction, it had to be built according to seismic standards," he said, "that's why the reconstruction was not done." The earthquake damaged 56 houses in Sukekot village in Sahalkot. The earthquake also destroyed most of the houses here. Umesh Gaha, the local leader and earthquake victim, said that the highest number of houses were destroyed in a single village in the district. That's why he says that even now he keeps going and shaking aftershocks. Keshari Kumari Rana, an earthquake victim of Sukekot, said that the people who returned to their settlements after being displaced for months are worried that they will have to return to their old situation when there are aftershocks and earthquakes.
"All the traditional kundu houses in our village disappeared due to the earthquake," she said, "Now nobody has built kundu houses during reconstruction." Now the children and grandchildren will not even be able to see the Kundu house.' According to him, the entire village including two-three-storey houses and traditional Kundu houses were destroyed in Sukekot. She said that even now she feels cold in her heart.
'I am afraid even when I remember that everyone went to Bari screaming, I stayed in Tripal for months in Bari,' said Khum Bahadur Rana, who was affected by the earthquake in Sukekot.
Due to the geographical conditions, even small earthquakes shake more in Sukekot of Sahalkot. As a result, the children, elderly and women of this village are more frightened, he said. In the lower part of Sukekot settlement, the land was washed away in an area of about one kilometer and all the houses of the entire settlement were destroyed. The old house has been rebuilt and built together. Earthquake-affected Bhok Bahadur Rana of Sukekot said that earthquake-resistant houses have been built. "We had to worry about our old big houses being destroyed," he said, "even more worried, Kundu's house was like everyone else's". Now not a single one can be seen.' Here everyone has built a house together.
Despite being displaced by the earthquake and resettled in the settlement, the fear of the earthquake and aftershocks has not gone away. The fact that it is a settlement on the top of the hill has made the residents of this area even more alarmed. Boma Pariyar, a ward member of Sahalkot and an earthquake victim, said that those who were unable to leave and walk would be worried about whether they would return to their previous state. The earthquake damaged 4,694 private residences in Palpa. How about
