“Almost every year the Karnali river takes someone. Last monsoon, it was a fellow villager. A good person with family. He had went to fetch water but he never returned. There is so much water in sight, every direction you look but getting water running in our taps has become a dream for every villager. They say nature cursed this place and I am starting to believe it.”

– Bal Bahadur Dharala, Ratapani, Mugu
