Barekot landslide survivors demand to be relocated permanently

Locals from areas at risk of landslides are currently taking shelter in nearby schools and playgrounds in makeshift tents.

On the night of July 10, a landslide buried two houses at Sarkigaun in Barekot Rural Municipality-4, killing all 12 members of the two households while asleep. Since then, Barekot residents haven’t had a peaceful night for themselves, said Lale Sarki, a neighbour of the two families killed in the landslide.
