Rasuwa faces food shortage as Bhotekoshi flood severs road network, patients suffer

After the Bhotekoshi flood completely cut off the road network in Rasuwa district, which borders China, local life has become difficult. With road transport at a standstill, the district has begun facing shortages of food grains and daily consumer goods.

With road links severed, the food crisis in the district has started to deepen. Local farmers and business operators have suffered financial losses. With transport disrupted, patients too have faced difficulties.

The flood that struck the Bhotekoshi River on Bhadau 10 caused major damage in the district. The same flood disrupted the district's road network. With road transport at a standstill, bringing food grains and daily consumer goods into the district has become difficult, making daily life increasingly hard for locals.
