Tanahun, April 26 : Around two dozen houses at Byas municipality-1 and 3 have been at risk due to landslides caused by rains on Thursday and Friday. Lack of drainage at the settlements has added to the loss, said Deputy Superintendent of Police Lila Raj Lamichhane.
Collection of details on loss is underway, he said. Mudslides covering around 50 meters area caused by rampant land plotting nearby have put the settlements at risk, said Dhurba Basnet of the municipality-1, whose house is at risk. The locals have been demanding that the local government stopped land plotting in the area at the earliest.
One dozen houses in municipality-3 are at risk of being washed away by landslides, said the ward chair Prem Kumar Shrestha. Efforts were underway to contain landslides, said Pushpa Shrestha, founding chair of Srijana village development institution.
