Flood victims trapped in tarp shelters since September

Several families in Chanaute village of Kavrepalanchok are left without help as local government passes the buck on resettlement to federal government.

Prakash Singtan has been homeless after the flooded Bagmati river swept away his house and farmland in ward 4 of Chanaute of Khanikhola Rural Municipality on September 29 last year. He has nowhere to go and no land left to build a house on. The four-member Singtan family has been languishing under a flimsy tarpaulin tent set up on the land temporarily provided by a villager.
