BABIYACHAUR, MYAGDI: The local level elections were held successfully after a gap of two decades with the promises of people receiving government services at their doorsteps in a new federal setup. However, the locals of Ramche in Annapurna Rural Municipality in the district have felt that their dream of availing services in an easier and accessible way was badly deferred, for they were still compelled to spend at least three days to receive the service by visiting the Pokharebagar-based centre in the rural municipality. Ramche that lies is ward-8 of the rural municipality has been deprived of better and accessible road facilities, forcing the residents to opt between two options — either walking for three days or using an alternative motorable road from Jaljala of Parbat to district headquarters Beni to Pokharebagar — to get the services. “Travelling by motors requires a whole day,” complained a local Jasmaya Purja of Nagi. “We heard the slogan 'Singhadurbar in every village' during the election campaigns, but now we are in need of travelling to unfamiliar places to receive services provided by local levels,” complained the locals. “Lack of required human resources at the centre, delay in getting services and the compulsion of visiting district headquarters again for financial chores have made the situation tougher,” Purja shared the plight. Ward 8 of the Municipality is home to around 420 households incorporating Nagi, Thawan, Kafaldanda, Dharapani and Ramche villages.
