Quake victims in Salyan return to damaged houses

More than 500 families have gone back to their houses with cracks in three weeks, says Nim Bahadur KC, chair, Darma Rural Municipality.

Five-member family of Mohan Damai, a resident of Darma Rural Municipality-2 in Salyan, returned to their earthquake-damaged house last week. Damai took the risk of staying in the house that developed cracks in the November 3 earthquake last year as the family members started falling ill due to cold in the flimsy temporary shelter.
