BAJURA, AUGUST 15 Fifty-eight families in Tamsu village of Triveni Municipality-7, Bajura, are at high risk of landslides after a landslide and flood struck the settlement on Thursday night, killing one person and injuring two others. According to ward chair Nanda Thapa, two houses were completely destroyed in the disaster, while cracks have appeared at several locations and a landslide has cut through the middle of the village. Tamsu was home to 60 families before the disaster. With two houses swept away, the remaining 58 families are now considered highly vulnerable and some have been displaced. Some families are sheltering in a cooperative building and Mahalakshmi Basic School, while others are living under makeshift tents. Pratiksha Thapa, 20, daughter of Karn Bahadur Thapa, was killed in Thursday night's landslide. Dharma Thapa, 40, and Dhaulidevi Rawal, 40, were injured. Dharma is receiving treatment at the district hospital, while Dhaulidevi has been referred to Seti Provincial Hospital in Dhangadhi. The disaster also damaged around 60 ropanis of farmland, destroying standing crops. Electricity supply to the village has been disrupted, while water pipelines have also been damaged, forcing residents to rely on stream water. Continuous rainfall has damaged roads and trails across Bajura, leaving communities in several parts of the district vulnerable. Earlier, floods on July 19 displaced 16 families in Kordha of Badimalika Municipality-6, while flooding in Selaghat of the same municipality's Ward 8 injured one person and completely displaced three families. According to the District Administration Office, all nine local levels in Bajura are at high risk of floods and landslides, with more than 100 settlements considered vulnerable. The district's Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan, 2083, recently released by the District Disaster Management Committee, identifies around 150 settlements across all nine local levels as highly vulnerable to floods and landslides. Authorities attribute the district's vulnerability to its steep terrain, fragile geology, riverbank erosion, unplanned road construction and the growing impacts of climate change, Chief District Officer Dorendra Niraula said.
