Water Intrudes into Asylum for Displaced Residents in Sukumbasi Area

April 28, Kathmandu – Water has infiltrated the Radhaswami Satsang Ashram in Kirtipur, where displaced residents from the Sukumbasi community have been accommodated. Heavy rain and strong winds that hit the Kathmandu Valley on Tuesday evening have further impacted these displaced individuals. The shelter consists only of a roof without walls. Efforts were made to cover the tents to protect against the wind, but the heavy evening rain caused water to seep in. The Sukumbasi settlements in Thapathali, Gairigaun, and Manohara areas of Kathmandu were cleared last Saturday and Sunday, and those displaced have been relocated to Kirtipur.
