Nuwakot
The inhabitants of Bhandare village in Manakamana VDC-7 of Nuwakot have demanded the local administration to remove a giant boulder resting precariously above their settlement.
The boulder had dislodged and rolled down the slope in the Gorkha Earthquake of April 2015. Narahari Bhatta, a local, said the boulder could roll down and crush their homes any day. Chief District Officer Bishnu Prasad Pokharel said he has asked the Nepal Army to remove the boulder using explosives. (PR)
