Dolpa, November 15
Bhim Bahadur Budha, acting chair of Ward 7 of Kaike Rural Municipality in Dolpa, has died during treatment. He was injured when a dry landslide carrying rocks fell on him during road construction.
Budha, 34, was seriously injured last Thursday at around 4 pm. A dry landslide carrying rocks had suddenly come down on a road construction site in Lawan, Kaike-7.
With the help of locals and security personnel, he was rescued and taken to the District Hospital in Dolpa. As treatment was not possible there, he was flown to Nepalgunj on Friday for further care.
He died on Saturday while undergoing treatment at a nursing home in Nepalgunj.
Budha was elected ward member of Kaike-7 in the 2022 local elections. As the ward chair had been away from the district on work, he had been serving as acting ward chair for some time.
