Kalinchok locals live in fear of landslides every monsoon

Around 400 families are at risk. Residents are worried about safety as monsoon landslides have become more frequent over the last few years.

At this time of the year, locals of Lapilang village in Kalinchowk Rural Municipality in Dolakha would be found in their fields planting paddy and millet. However, for the past three years Tulasi Shrestha, a local woman, has been spending most of her time indoors as her farmland in the Raniban area was swept away by landslides last monsoon.
