Panchkhal Municipality and Khanikhola Rural Municipality in Kavrepalanchok district have deposited a combined Rs 6,300,666 into the Prime Minister's Relief Fund for people affected by the Bhotekoshi flood. Panchkhal contributed Rs 4,300,689 and Khanikhola contributed Rs 2,002,977, according to the reported figures.
Contributions from two local governments
The donations bring together contributions from a municipality and a rural municipality in Kavrepalanchok. Panchkhal Municipality's contribution accounts for the larger share of the total, while Khanikhola Rural Municipality has deposited just over Rs 2 million. Together, the two amounts come to Rs 6,303,666 - Rs 3,000 more than the stated combined total of Rs 6,300,666.
The money has been deposited in the Prime Minister's Relief Fund for victims of the Bhotekoshi flood. The reported information identifies the fund as the destination of the donations but does not provide details about when the deposits were made or how the relief will be distributed to affected people.
Panchkhal's reported breakdown
Panchkhal Mayor Mahesh Kharel said the municipality's share included Rs 1 million from the municipality itself, Rs 1,332,599 from elected representatives and municipal staff, and Rs 1,971,090 from teachers. The figures describe contributions from the local government and people associated with it, rather than a single source of funding.
There is a Rs 3,000 difference between the stated Panchkhal contribution of Rs 4,300,689 and the sum of the three amounts in the mayor's breakdown, which comes to Rs 4,303,689. The reported figures therefore contain a small discrepancy. The information available does not clarify which amount requires correction, so the stated overall contribution and the listed components are presented separately.
Support for flood victims
The deposits are intended to support victims of the Bhotekoshi flood through the Prime Minister's Relief Fund. Panchkhal's contribution combines public funds with amounts attributed to elected representatives, staff and teachers, while Khanikhola's contribution is reported as a single municipal donation. No further breakdown of Khanikhola's amount was provided.
The contributions show two local governments in Kavrepalanchok directing funds toward the national relief channel. The reported total is Rs 6,300,666, although the individual contribution figures add up to Rs 6,303,666. The available report does not include additional information about the scale of flood damage, the number of people affected, or the next steps for distributing assistance.
