A team of lawmakers including Dilman Pakhrin, Dhan Bahadur Ghale, Parshuram Tamang and former lawmaker Pushpa Bikram Malla have proposed to transfer the villagers within a week from the existing areas stating that chances of landslide were very high during the rainy season.
As per the lawmakers' proposal, a total of 700 families from Lapa VDC, 1,294 from Ri, 110 from Tipling, 656 from Jarlang and 629 families from Sertung should be shifted prior to the rainy season, as the dry landslides were taking place even at the time.
Lawmaker Tamang said that the government should provide services to the quake-affected people of the remote five VDCs for their security.
The VDCs remaining in the northern belt in the district have no access to road and the situation is such worse that on one can reach there on foot in the post-quake period, the lawmakers said.
Some villagers are still living in the areas by keeping their lives at risk while remaining others have been displaced to the areas near the district headquarters.
After the lawmakers' proposal, Chief District Officer Basudev Ghimire has pledged to take all possible measures for the villagers' security and shift them to the safer places within a week. RSS
