Looming landslide forces 182 members of 42 families to evacuate Lamjung settlement

Displaced people have found temporary shelter with relatives, in schools and under tents.

Farmers in Tallo Chipla village in Lamjung are in the thick of transplanting millet seedlings. Amidst the busy farm season, 73-year-old Ash Bahadur Gurung and his family are restless fearing a landslide looming above their home. They live in constant fear of being washed away, when it starts raining. Ash and his 71-year-old wife Mishri rush toward their house from the field in the early evening, quickly prepare a meal, and head to a tent in Dandagaun to spend the night. They return home at dawn.
