Landslide Risk Escalates in Kalikot Due to Administrative Building Project
IN · Published Oct 2, 2026
• The construction of an administrative building by Khandachakra Municipality in Kalikot has heightened landslide risks in the area.
• Excavation for the building's foundation in February 2025 caused a landslide that swept away three houses in Manma Bazaar and turned the main road into a landslide-prone zone.

Impact & Risks

The landslide has already displaced residents and damaged infrastructure in Manma Bazaar, with 14 houses in the area at risk. Continued construction could exacerbate the situation, endangering lives and property. The weak soil conditions and lack of retaining walls pose significant hazards, especially during the rainy season. Local trade and daily life are also being disrupted due to the unsafe road conditions.
