Kathmandu, September 23 The Raju Lama Foundation, a charitable organisation run by singer Raju Lama, and the social organisation Small World have distributed relief supplies in Tetangche village, Amachhodingmo Rural Municipality, in Rasuwa, an area affected by Bhotekoshi flooding. The two organisations have also provided health services to those affected. Singer Lama said 3,500 kg of food grains and medicine were distributed to affected residents of the village, which had been cut off from the road network after the flood. A four-hour health camp was also run there with the participation of senior physician Ganesh Gurung. After road access was severed, the two organisations arranged to fly relief supplies to Tetangche by helicopter, with nine shuttle flights used for the purpose, Lama said. Lama, who has since returned to Kathmandu from the affected area, said delivering relief supplies had been extremely difficult. “There’s no road at all above Dhunche, which makes distributing relief supplies difficult. A helicopter is the only way to get there,” he said.
