Flood, landslide, glacial lake burst threaten to wipe out Humla village

As the Halji river breaches its banks and advances rapidly, its namesake village in Humla district is under a high risk of flooding. Locals said that the river floods during the summer with the increase in water fall and rise in temperature which increases the rate of snowmelt.
The river has already destroyed four houses in the Halji village. “Some villagers moved to safety two years ago but those who cannot afford to flee are left to suffer,” said Khendap Tamang, a local resident.

“The main problem in the village is the eroding river. As it advances towards the village, we are under the menace of landslides,” said village leader Tandupa Tamang.
To add to the danger, landslides are becoming increasingly frequent and a glacial lake threatens to burst.
Khendap said that Halji and its surroundings would surely be swept away in a glacial lake outburst upstream. Tandupa also claimed that his family had been spending nights out in the open fearing landslips.
Villagers are unwilling to abandon an 11th century monastery, at the heart of the village, which also runs the risk of being swept away if there was a landslide or flood.
Locals have accused the government and political parties of doing nothing to prevent a disaster.
Two years ago, the Water Induced Disaster Prevention Office, Surkhet, set up a makeshift embankment of gabion boxes at the cost of Rs 1 million. However, villager Chhingnurbu Tamang said the structure was swept away.
Chief District Officer Bijaya Narayan Manandhar has assured the people of initiatives to tame the river.

Mustang become a green

A campaign to conserve environment by planting saplings is bearing fruit for local residents in Mustang district. Various mother groups, youth clubs and local people had committed to the campaign, which is now seeing previously bare hills boasting lush green cover.

Initiated by the District Soil Conservation Office (DSCO) and the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), the campaign has now been spread to Lomanthang, Charang, Chhoser and Surkhang of Upper Mustang and Chhusang, Muktinath, Kagbeni and Jomsom of Lower Mustang.

DSCO Chief Hridaya Prasad Shrestha said the campaign was started four years ago and that local people were very enthusiastic about forest conservation. “This campaign will help control soil erosion and also enable local people earn their livelihood through forest resources,” he said. Local residents in the areas have been able to use forest resources for fodder and firewood and environment is also getting cleaner, he added.

The DSCO has been providing 5,000 saplings and also Rs 17 as an incentive for each sapling planted to local people every year. ACAP Chief Niranjan Dhungana said his office has also been giving an incentive of Rs 15 to local people for

each sapling planted.

“The campaign has really helped conserve the environment and made us independent,” said Potaling Mothers’ Group Chairperson Jiangmu Bista, who is involved in planting trees in Lomathang. Dhungana said more than 500,000 saplings have already been planted in Upper Mustang so far. “Local women groups and youth clubs alone planted more than 200,000 saplings,” he said. Local people have also been planting apple trees in Mustang’s bare hills. “All hilly areas will be covered with green trees within just a few years,” said Surendra Bista, a social worker in Lomanthang.
