Bajura’s villagers relies on early warning sirens amid landslide risks
The residents of the Bajedi settlement in Budhiganga Municipality-2 of Bajura are currently relying on sirens to stay in their village. With the onset of the rainy season, the residents of Bajedi settlement, who used to leave their village in search of safer places, have started staying in their village since the installation of siren machines last November/December. Local resident Dinesh Raj Jaishi said they used to stay under tarpaulins in safe places during the rainy season due to the fear of landslides. He said, "During the rainy season, houses here gradually move downward due to landslides. When houses move down like this, there is a fear of being buried by a landslide at night, so we used to stay in safe places during the rainy season." Jaishi has said that with the installation of two early warning siren machines in the village, they now have the hope of escaping and saving their lives during a landslide, so they have chosen to stay in the village.
