The Yangwarak Pokhari drinking water project has been completed in Tharpu, Ward 4 of Yangwarak Rural Municipality in Panchthar district, providing water to more than 80 households in the Joradhara and Tharpu Bazaar areas. The rural municipality said 365 people have benefited from the scheme, which was funded with Rs 7.675 million from the federal government.
Water supply for Joradhara and Tharpu Bazaar
The project draws its water from Yangwarak Pokhari and serves residents in two areas of Tharpu: Joradhara and Tharpu Bazaar. The completed scheme is reported to reach more than 80 households across the service areas.
Yangwarak Rural Municipality reported the total number of beneficiaries as 365. The figures indicate the reach of the completed project in the local community, although the available information does not specify how many households or residents are served in each of the two areas separately.
Federal funding supported the project
The project received Rs 7.675 million in funding from the federal government. The rural municipality announced that construction had been completed and reported the number of residents benefiting from the water supply.
The available details do not provide a breakdown of project costs, construction dates or the specific infrastructure installed. They also do not specify the volume of water supplied or the schedule for distribution. The confirmed information identifies Yangwarak Pokhari as the source and Joradhara and Tharpu Bazaar as the areas served.
Local significance
The project adds a drinking water supply scheme for residents of Ward 4, with the municipality reporting benefits for 365 people. Its coverage of more than 80 households means the service extends across both Joradhara and Tharpu Bazaar, rather than being limited to a single locality.
With the scheme completed, residents in the reported service areas are among those set to benefit from water sourced at Yangwarak Pokhari. The municipality’s announcement provides the key details currently available: the project’s location, its source, the areas covered, the reported number of beneficiaries and its federal funding of Rs 7.675 million.
