Tinau river is shrinking due to human activities

Encroachment and rampant mining in the Chure area are the reasons behind the shrinking of the Tinau river.

Dayaram Neupane, 72, had migrated to Butwal from Argeli of Palpa district in 1966. He remembers the time when the flooded Tinau ravaged Butwal and its surrounding area in 1980.
