Due to landslides at various locations along with road blockades, the team has failed to reach the affected areas, informed Devraj Dhakal, coordinator of District Natural Disaster Relief Committee.



All these villages have remained out of contact since the earthquake, he further added. "There are no other options, except to reach the villages by helicopter, while the relief committee is facing difficulty at reaching and studying the situation in the affected areas," Dhakal said.



The APF team led by Police Inspector Rajesh Budathoki returned back from Gyabla, he informed.
