Community Prepares for Disasters and Non-Communicable Diseases in Bhajani

Kailali. The sweltering heat of the afternoon. Hot winds are blowing. Man Bahadur Chaudhary of Pakariya, Bhajani Municipality-3, does not look hot at all.

Found in the open courtyard of a public safe shelter, 40-year-old Chaudhary is leading the second term of Badghar (Bhalmansa). According to him, there are 626 households under Badghar. He did not feel like listening to the political program at the shelter. Why didn't you go? He said, "What is there to gain? By listening to speeches. By clapping? Those who give speeches do not come to save during disasters. We have to protect our own people."
