Saptakoshi flood is a boon for firewood collectors
With the onset of monsoon, locals living near the Saptakoshi River have started collecting firewood from the flooded Saptakoshi River. The locals are busy extracting firewood, which is carried downstream by floods originating in the nearby hilly areas. Since the first week of Ashad (mid-June) the locals have been diligently collecting firewood washed into the river from eastern hills. Firewood has become a vital source of income for hundreds of families. At other times, they rely on wage labour and in the rainy season, they make income by extracting firewood from the Koshi River. The locals of the Saptakosi River areas such as Chatara, Shesauli Ghat, Mahendranagar, Sukrabare, Rajabas and Dharahara Tapan have been collecting firewood from the river using bamboo.
