No festive spirit for earthquake victims in Rukum West

While many earthquake victims are trying to move on and attend Dashain, the festive spirit is noticeably absent.

Nearly a year has passed since the devastating earthquake on November 3, 2023, but for Motikala Malla of Aathbiskot Municipality-14, Chhepare, the pain of that night is still fresh. The series of festivals that followed the tragedy have failed to bring any joy to her family.
