Relief helicopter gives Rasuwa farmers a route to market

The World Food Programme (WFP) has utilized a relief helicopter to transport approximately eight tonnes of vegetables from the flood-isolated region of Aamachhodingmo to the market town of Bidur. This emergency operation was initiated to assist local farmers in salvaging a portion of their harvest following recent weather-related disruptions.

The initiative serves as a critical logistical intervention for agricultural producers cut off from traditional transport routes due to flood damage. By providing an aerial link to urban markets, the effort aims to mitigate economic losses for farmers in the Rasuwa district who were otherwise unable to distribute their perishable goods.
