Rasuwa, Nov 9: Even after two and a half months since a severe flood hit the Bhotekoshi River, the risk of erosion and landslides has not gone away at Hakubesi village, Ward 1 of Amachhodingmo Rural Municipality in Rasuwa. 
So, 156 families from this mountainous hamlet have demanded to be relocated to a safer place.
Local resident Nima Kaisang Tamang said that Hakubesi village is completely at risk after rapid erosion has started from a location below the village due to the flood in the Bhotekoshi River.
According to him, even though a long time has passed since the flood, the soil remains weak and there are frequent landslides on the slopes washed away by the massive August 26 floods, so a written request from the community has been submitted to the Chief District Officer for relocation to a safe place. Due to the flood and erosion, a school and a police post in the village are also at high risk.
Buchung Tamang, the chairperson of Amachhodingmo Rural Municipality, said that the government must guarantee safe housing for citizens at risk due to floods and landslides, noting that there is no alternative but to immediately relocate the settlements in danger.
Meanwhile, a meeting of the District Disaster Management Committee was held to verify the details of people who have lost contact or gone missing due to the Bhotekoshi flood.
The meeting decided to approve the decision made by the local disaster risk reduction and management committees based on the applications received at the ward offices of local levels in Rasuwa and to recommend the detailed information to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, Singha Durbar.
