Landslide-hit Miklajung village faces food shortage

Despite promises from the federal and the provincial governments, no help has reached the disaster-hit areas in the last three weeks.

Rajan Banu, a resident of Lekgaun in Miklajung, survived one of the worst disasters that hit his village in the third week of October. Unseasonal monsoon rains triggered massive landslides in Panchthar district killing 31 people—22 from Miklajung alone.
