In the wake of the devastating earthquake that struck Jajarkot and Rukum West on November 3, it is disheartening to hear tales of discrimination and neglect among those affected. As the dust settles and the aftershocks continue to rattle the very foundation of these communities, the cry for relief grows louder, particularly from those residing in rented rooms who feel abandoned in their time of need.
JAJARKOT, Nov 8: A road in the district headquarters of Jajarkot is dotted with green tarpaulin tents. These makeshift tents put up by the Armed Police Force (APF) have been providing shelter to the locals who are living under the open sky after their homes were damaged by the earthquake on November 3.
