Jumla, April 11
Many young people from Jumla and Kalikot districts of Karnali who had gone to Pyuthan for manual labour before the nationwide lockdown have returned to Jumla following a five-day walk.
They say they had no option to walking for days to get back home after they did not have any work due to the lockdown in the wake of coronavirus infection cases. They arrived in Jumla via Rukum and Jajarkot districts.
Among them, Harka Tiruwa shares that they had to survive on noodles, biscuits, and water along the way. There were 13 people: four from Jumla and nine from Kalikot.
According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Lal Bahadur Dhami, the youth have been quarantined for the next 14 days after health checkup.
