Fourteen years since reconstruction started, Achham Durbar is still incomplete

The palace, built 150 years ago by Achhami King Tikabhuk Shah, was ravaged in a Maoist bomb attack in 2002.

The historical Achham Durbar was severely damaged when the Maoist insurgents bombed it in 2002. At the time of the incident, the district administration office was being run out of the monument in Mangalsen, the district headquarters. In the explosion, a total of 122 people were killed, including the then Achham Chief District Officer Mohan Singh Khatri.
