Rain coupled with snowfall since last night has adversely affected life in the highlands of Dolakha.
Extreme cold triggered by heavy snowfall has hit life very hard in places such as Kalinchowk. Snowfall also disrupted transport services today. Rain and snow have affected children and elderly the most.
