The disaster victims of Melauli-3, Shyaltadi have complained that their food rights have been violated. They said that their food rights have been violated after the concerned authority did not take any initiation to rebuilt the irrigation canal that was damaged by lanslide in 2008.

“Due to the lack of irrigation there were no cultivating land and we were compelled to live village”, said one of the victim.
They have been informing the concerned bodies from time to time for rebuilt of irrigation however no initiation has been taken yet.
After the cultivating land turned into desert, 31 families had left Shyatadi and started to live in Marudra-6.
