Kathmandu, June 22: A new rainwater harvesting pond has been constructed at Chaimale of Dakshinkali municipality with the support of the UML-aligned All Nepal Peasants Federation.
Locals contributed voluntary labour to the construction of the pond which was completed at the total cost of Rs. 238,000. It is expected to help meet the need for irrigation and drinking water to livestock of around 50 households in ward no. 8 of the municipality.
General Secretary of the Federation Balram Banskota handed over the pond to the local users at a function held on Wednesday.
Prior to this, the locals were forced to walk two hours to fetch water from the nearby Jhorle stream after water sources dried up due to the 2015 earthquake, said local Shanker Prasad Adhikari. RSS
