Similarly, a landslide destroyed three houses in Jogbuda-4, Malas according to the Area Police Office. Similarly, some families in Amargadi municipality have also been displaced due to fear of landslide.
Meanwhile, police posts at several places in the district have lost contact due to power failure for the past four days. The posts have not been able to recharge their communication sets due to the power failure, says Deputy Superintendent of Police Chakra Bahadur Singh.
Police offices in Belapur, Devaldivapur, Sakayal, Rupal, Gankhet and Alital are out of contact for three days. This has caused difficulty in gathering information about floods and landslides.
