The Army team from Kathmandu reached the incident site along with relief materials and a rescue team on a helicopter following the avalanche. One local Ram Bahadur Chhantyal, 50, has gone missing in the disaster while three others-Jagdevi Chhantyal, Buddhi Chhantyal and Lal Bahadur Chhantyal-have been stranded. All of them were residing in a hut away from the settlement when the disaster occurred, said the police. A team of four persons taken by the army’s helicopter has been mobilised for a rescue effort, said ward chair Jhhak Chhantyal. The disaster also caused property losses and disrupted the road, electricity and mobile towers. The incident site is remote. It takes one-day walk from neighbouring Lulang to reach the village. So in view of difficulties in rescue efforts, the Nepali Army team was called for a help, said the Rural Municipality Vice Chair Resham Chhantyal.
