State Support for Children Orphaned by Floods Discussed
The discussion focused on how the state will support children who have lost their parents due to flooding. In the month of Bhadra, devastating floods struck the Vote Koshi and lower Trishuli rivers, sweeping away not only homes and schools but also the caretakers of many children. Currently, many children have lost both parents, while some have only one surviving parent. After losing their homes and land, several guardians are unable to provide for the upbringing and education of their children.
Regarding how the state plans to provide long-term education, care, and protection for these children, Sagar Budhathoki conducted an interview with Ram Bahadur Chand, the Information Officer of the National Child Rights Council, for ‘BBC Hatmalo’.
