Raute community faces severe food crisis as social security allowance delays continue
Dipendra Wali, spokesperson for Gurans Rural Municipality, said the delay was caused by a holdup in sending the community's details to the federal government. “Once we send the updated list of Raute households, the allowance is released every three months,” he said. “This time, there was a delay, but the allowance for the past three months will be distributed in a lump sum next week.”
