Saying that the Rs 1.5 million allocated by the Home Ministry as immediate relief was too meagre, the victims have sought help from Nepalis, Armala Disaster-induced Concern and Construction Committee Secretary Ram Prasad Parajuli said.
Parajuli said both the government fund and other help received from individuals would be deposited in the committee's account and used. Parajuli further said that individuals and organisations willing to assist could deposit the amount at Nepal Bank Limited account number 091000079908 maintained in Bagar Branch, Pokhara.
Sinkholes that began to appear around two-and-a-half-moths ago have put 70 households at risk. Seven families that had been displaced by the cave-ins have been taking shelter at the house of their neighbours and relatives.
