Buying salt becoming a challenge for outlying Mugu villages

Locals have to make an arduous, costly two-day journey to Gamgadhi to buy subsidised salt.

It is a challenge for Phunjong Tamang, a resident of Mugum Karmarong Rural Municipality-2, to provide for his family of five given his poor financial condition. The unavailability of salt locally has further added to his challenge, he says.
