Prem Bahadur Lama, Chairman-Namkha rural municipality Humla
It seems that there is less risk than before. We are working to collect the necessary relief goods from our own side . We are engaged in the arrangement of food, Tripal .
What is the damage situation in the village?
is two houses louder. The village is completely at risk. Before it was a small hole, now it has become a river 80, 90 meters deep in that area . The land around the village is scattered. As soon as there is more rain, there is a danger that the village will be washed away. Now only two meters are left for the village to flow . There is no situation to save the village by rebuilding it . There is a danger of landslides from above and below the village. It is becoming more and more scary.
Was there a landslide in Tilgaon before?
The elders used to say that there was a small landslide a hundred years ago. At that time, there was a small landslide towards Barsha . Now it's like two glaciers have melted from inside . A landslide occurred due to the explosion of water from one kilometer below Himtal. Now it seems that water is leaking from inside the glacier. It can be assumed that this will be the effect of climate change . The flow of water increased . Since there is less soil and more rocks here, there is a greater risk of landslides.
What is the situation when people are sent to the flood source?
People have returned after looking at the flooded area after melting the lake . Himtal is still there. After the snow melts under the lake, it is seen that the water is flowing through cracks.
Why did that happen? Has anything been discovered? An expert team had to come to find out the
reason. It's been eight days since the flood and it hasn't come yet. The state machinery had to look at it. What happened to the elders living in the center of the state? Asking about that is wrong. Are we the people of Nepal or not? Why was the necessary relief not provided even for eight days? Why not send an expert team ? There are only 18, 20 households here. 30, 32 The state does not see that people live.
So far, the union, state government has given relief or not? There is news that we are trying to provide
relief. There is no special relief.
How far is the landslide village from the headquarters?
is 118 km away from the headquarters Simkot . It can be reached in three days from Sadurmukam. Commuting is difficult . Horses and mules cannot walk for 15 to 20 minutes.
How are the landslide-affected villagers living?
They are living in an old school building . 5, 6 are sitting in tents . Most of the villages are old people . Tanneris have gone to work at Taklakot on the Nepal-China border. There are only elders to take care of the cattle in the village . The population of the village is 89.
Is there a situation where the village has to be moved by a landslide?
Telgaon is at full risk . All Buddhists live in this settlement. The lamas who have to worship in the morning and evening at Pari Gumba and go to light the lamp are taking risks.
How did the locals survive the landslide?
When everyone was sleeping, the landslide happened at 10 o'clock at night. They have been watching why the helicopter came at night after the Gadyanggudung sound. As the noise increased, they saw a landslide coming from the courtyard. The man woke up and took the others to a safe place .
Are other villages at risk like Tilgaon? There is a
. You will know after studying . The state holds the summit of Mount Everest in Kathmandu . It is said that climate change has a big impact in Nepal. The budget that has come to minimize the effects of climate change is put into its own area . Where there is an impact, the budget should be put there. We have already pointed out that there is a high risk of climate change in the Himalayan region . Where there is risk, there must be . It's a shame, it's been eight days since the floods and landslides . Expert and necessary relief has not come .
