Locals of Mugum Karmarong Rural Municipality-1, Dolpu walk for two days from the village to Pulu Food Depot to get food. They have been forced to walk for a week to transport food from the Food Corporation in the district headquarters Gamgadhi after the depot ran out of food stocks since July.
In Mugum Karmarong Rural Municipality-1, Dolpu, only potato, and buckwheat are produced annually. The locals are forced to depend on the government’s subsidized food for the income earned by collecting Yarsha, Gimfu, and other herbs after the produced grains have not been eaten for three months.
