SUNSARI: Nepal Army’s Kalishakti Batallion of Yangshilaa, Kerabari Rural Municipality-6, Morang has established a Snakebite Treatment Centre. Nepal Army, in coordination with the locals, completed the building construction at a total cost of Rs 3.3 million. However, necessary furniture and equipment are yet to be purchased, said Chief of Building Construction Consumers Committee Prakash Shrestha. A budget of Rs 5.7 million was estimated for the purpose of building construction. The newly constructed facility will provide the services to nearby areas such as Dangi, Aamjuli and Wards 5 and 6 of Dharan. Remote areas of Kerabari Rural Municipality-4, 5, and 6, along with Dharan Sub Metropolitan City-6 are among the areas lying on the foothill where snakebite is prominent. The construction of the facility is believed to provide easy treatment.
