Falebas (Parbat), March 16: The earthquake survivors of different rural municipalities in Parbat district are facing tough time due to water crisis.
When there is acute shortage of drinking water the
reconstruction of houses devastated by the 2015 earthquake is a far cry here.
Madhav Prasad Bhattarai, a local of Shaligram-5, Hanumandanda
who languished in a fragile hut for 16 months after earthquake, had initiated
the construction of a new home but could not make his way due to water
shortage.
He shared the nearby sources of water turned dry after couples
of days of the earthquake.
"There was very limited water bubbled up in the source till
the foundation was laid", Bhattarai said, adding now the construction work
is completely halted for no availability of water.
There are many quake victims like Bhattarai in the district who
have been facing water crisis and subsequent problems.
The earthquake survivors said that the water sources are drying
up due to a long spell of drought this year which has made the problem more
intense. RSS
