Flood Displaced Residents: Planning Their Future Homes
‘The government should provide safe locations’: Discussions continue over housing options for people displaced by floods. The devastating floods in the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers have destroyed or buried many homes under debris. Thousands of people were displaced following this disaster in the month of Bhadra.
The displaced population is deeply concerned and anxious about their rehabilitation. Some wish to return to their original homes, while others have expressed reluctance to resettle in the same area. Government officials and experts recommend prohibiting settlements along riverbanks given the ongoing flood risk. What do the local residents of Betrawati have to say about this issue?
