People of settlements prone to landslides and floods in Sindhupalchok living in abject fear

Sindhupalchok has been battered by a series of natural disasters over the past decade, with over 3,375 households in the district at risk of landslides.

Chakradhwaj Tiwari, a resident of Ramche Sahele in Bahrabise Municipality-9, has been restless since the monsoon began. The landmass above his settlement has caved in and could result in landslides, he says. His house is also at risk of floods from the nearby Andheri stream.
