Myagdi, Oct 17:
Volunteers have constructed temporary housing for landslide-affected families by contributing their labor in Dholthan, Beni Municipality-9, Myagdi.
Continuous rainfall from September 24 to 27 triggered a landslide that swept away the houses of Ramchandra Pariyar and Rekha Darji in Dholthan. Temporary shelters were built for both families, who were left in distress after losing their homes, through the voluntary labor of Sahara Group members and the support of local residents.
Prakash Paudel, coordinator of the Sahara Group, stated that two houses were constructed using timber, stone, and mud, and roofed with corrugated zinc sheets provided by the Diwakar Golchha Foundation. Local residents also contributed timber materials for the construction.
Fifteen youths from the group dedicated ten days of voluntary labor to build the temporary shelters. Paudel mentioned that the initiative aimed to provide immediate housing arrangements for families rendered homeless by the disaster.
Additionally, Coordinator Paudel shared that work is underway to construct further temporary shelters in Mangala Rural Municipality, Myagdi, with the objective of assisting other families affected by floods and landslides. Following the incessant rainfall in the second week of September, floods and landslides caused extensive damage to houses, roads, drinking water systems, and other infrastructure across various settlements in Myagdi. Local residents, various organizations, and supporting agencies have been actively engaged in relief and reconstruction efforts to rehabilitate the disaster-affected families.
