According to Suman Bhatta, the hydropower project's information officer, the project distributed rice and cooking oil to the victims.


Ramesh Ghale, a local of Haku affirmed, “The relief is appreciable.”


After the earthquake, landslides have occurred in the district displacing several families. People haven't returned their homes after the earthquake in April 2015. Victims of the earthquake from Mailung, Dadagaun, Tiru and Gagane have been living in the same ward.


“The government hasn't taken any step for rehabilitating the victims,” stated Tamang, adding, “We are fed up of listening to hollow promises of officials.”
