Jajarkot. Settlements clinging to the slopes of the land, deep rivers below and hills that seem ready to fall up. Amidst this geography, the residents of Nalgad Municipality-12 of Jajarkot and Aathbiskot Municipality-6 in Rukum West are living their daily lives.<\/p>\n
The road to Dolpa via the Bheri corridor has become the lifeline of these settlements. However, due to the lack of bridges over the rivers under the corridor, the vehicles have to cross the river by taking risk during the rainy season. Due to the increase in the flow of water, the road and the road across the river are blocked. <\/p>\n
Aulagutta and Baikanda towards Jajarkot and Damachaur and Mulatara towards the west of Rukum are in the steep terrain. In some places, there are houses at the foot of the hills, and in others, there are settlements on the cliffs. As there is a risk of landslides falling from above and the river from below, the worry of the residents increases with the onset of rains. <\/p>\n
Although the geography is in the west of Rukum, the people of Jajarkot also live in some areas. People are connected to this geography despite the lack of safe land to live and the risk due to old settlement. <\/p>\n
On the one hand, the houses on the steep land, on the other hand, the risk of bridgeless streams and landslides\u2014the need for development and the geographical risk are seen together in these settlements around the Bheri Corridor. Looking at the settlements here, the question arises\u2014how long can this life living in the midst of danger continue like this? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
