Landslide in Gaurikund, India, ruins Nepalis’ dream of earning a living

Foreign Minister NP Saud has requested the chief minister of Uttarakhand to rescue Nepalis missing in the disaster.

Tek Bishwakarma, 32, had gone to the Kedarnath area in India on April 16 after receiving a recommendation letter from the district administration office. Bishwakarma, a resident of Khandachakra Municipality-2 in Kalikot, was supposed to return home during Dashain, the greatest Hindu festival that falls in October this year, with the earnings he managed to save as a daily wage earner. But Tek would never return.
