2015 Nepal earthquake

The town was severely affected by the earthquake on 25 April 2015. In the aftermath of the earthquake people went to the toilet everywhere due the lack of organised toilets. The town suffered from poor sanitation, threat of an epidemic, and hunger. The natural spring the supplied the town with water was destroyed leaving residents to rely on existing stores of water and leading to water shortages. There were inadequate medical supplies in the town. The nearest hospital was about 25 miles away. People slept outdoors in a makeshift tent community. 183 people in the village were confirmed dead. Local officials avoided locals out of fear of their anger.
