Dailekh, April 23 : Authorities concerned have demanded the proper management of the Raute community. The government should accord high priorities to the nomadic group, they said.
The government at all three
central, provincial and local levels should be serious about the management of
the community, demanded Loman Sharma, mayor of Narayan Municipality at an event
here. "The government should provide essentials to them after identifying
their actual problems," he said.
Stating that alcohol consumption
rampantly has caused damage to their health, Raju Shrestha, former president of
the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dailekh, demanded that the government
provides them with nutritious food. It should also focus on creating the market

stressed the need for all to help save the community from alcohol abuses, and
create a climate wherein they become self-reliant.
The government at all three levels
