Solukhumbu, May 25

More than two dozens of government offices operated here are forced to conduct their daily works at rented buildings.

Most of the government offices were destroyed during the 10 years of armed conflict. These buildings have not been repaired or reconstructed so far.

Some government offices are carrying out their works from the rented houses from the time of their establishment.

A total of 23 government offices are conducting their daily work in a rented house.

The offices of district police, health, district investigation, district attorney, agriculture, development, veterinary, elections office, district ayurvedic, comptroller, department of survey women development, drinking water and sanitation sub-division, district forest, peace committee and others are forced to carry all their works from the rented houses and buildings .

Of all these offices at the district, the office of police, attorney, district agriculture, animal service, district forest office, drinking water and sanitation sub-division were damaged during the 10 years armed conflict.

Some 12 years ago, the ex rebels attacked and captured Salleri, the district headquarters, destroying many government offices.

The head of the government offices complained working at the rented houses have given them many problems.

In Dhunche, a maternity center has been constructed at Haku, the remote village of the Rasuwa district.

Earlier the local women were forced to travel a long distance for having their access to maternity service.

However, the situation has changed for them after the construction of the maternity centre.

Ramesh Kumar Kharel head of District Health Office said that VDC level training would be organised at Haku for the better operation of the maternity center.

Despite being the only maternity center at the village, it has been unable to operate its services properly. A local said that the center lacked trained health workers and thus had failed to live up to the expectation of the villagers.
