In order to give relief to the affected area, Nepal Food Corporation was given authority to distribute rice through District Development Committee after the construction of 92km road at Gamgadhi in Mugu.
The locals complained that they did not received rice even after the completion of road construction.
Prior to this, the Food Corporation had distributed 50 kg of rice to each household at Dandaphaya, Kharphunath and Seda VDCs.
