Similarly, 72-year-old Lila Bahadur Raut said it had been very difficult to adjust to new congested place. "I fear bigger risk here because of the recurrent aftershocks," he added.
Chief at the briddhashram, Manoj Kumar Basnet said, "Most parts of the building have ruined compelling the removal of the senior citizens. Most of the senior citizens were however shifted to safer places within the home."
Considering the health condition of the elderly persons, they were not taken out to open spaces in the tents, he said, adding that they were now kept at kitchen and dining rooms despite congestion, so that their health could not deteriorate so fast.
According to him, the safer places too have leaky roofs. So the elderly were adjusted after some repairs on the roofs.
Even the Panchadeval Temple on the premises of the old age home received huge damages. It may collapse in the monsoon season, thereby creating further tension.
Mr Basnet said although he has already informed the higher bodies for alternative settlement to the old ones, it was yet to be addressed. RSS
