Food shortage looming large in Mugu, Dolpa districts of Karnali Province

The Food Management and Trading Company Limited could not transport food to Mugu due to lockdown and disruption of Namga-Gamgadhi road by floods and landslides.

Kaushila Rokaya of Soru Rural Municipality Ward No.6 in Mugu walked for two days to reach the depot of Food Management and Trading Company Limited in Gamgadhi, the district headquarters, last week. She walked all the way there to buy rice since the shops in her village had run out of the foodgrain. However, she returned home empty handed, as the depot did not have any rice.
