Local unit moves Musahar families to new settlement without basic amenities

Kankai Municipality has built 14 houses without road connectivity, power and water supply.

Kankai Municipality in Jhapa has built new houses for 14 families of the impoverished Musahar community who had been living at Tekra. The houses, however, lack basic amenities like electricity, drinking water and road connectivity, which has left the Musahar families to question the municipality’s move.
