More ways to tackle a problem

Remote regions have suffered from years of negligence, and nothing has been done to ensure a lasting solution.

This year’s unrelenting snowfall has exacerbated the issue of supplies of essentials to the remote hilly regions of Nepal. A report by the Post shone light on the problems faced by the residents of Nyuna village of Saipal Rural Municipality in Bajhang. The villagers have voiced their plight concerning the disruption of essentials due to heavy snow, and more importantly, the complete apathy shown by the administration. The disruption of supplies is as seasonal as the weather itself. If it is not snow, then it is probably rain. Still, such issues are more the result of the indifference shown by the authorities and unscrupulous intermediaries in manipulating supplies.
