समयको गतिसँगै बगेका मेरा बिगतहरु
कोही कति कहाली लाग्दा थिए होलान्
कोही,
कति स्वर्णिम थिए होलान् ।
परिस्थितिसँग एकाकार बन्नुपर्ने बाध्यता
रहरहरु बन्दी बने,
इच्छाहरु दमित भए,
कति कोपिलाहरु फक्रन नपाउँदै
निष्ठूर दिनहरुमा चुँडालिएर गए।।
औंसीका काला रातहरु झैं
भयंकर पीडा बनेर
चोटहरु बर्सिरहे,
रितुहरु परिवर्तन भइरहे,
मनहरु बदलीरहे।।।
तर आज,
हाँसोमा उड्छ स्वभिमान
घमण्ड बन्छ पौरख
सीमाबद्ध भोगविलास
पागलको उपमा दिन्छ मलाई
गिज्याउँछ मेरो स्वभिमानलाई
तर,
पागल नदेख मलाई
भोको पेट भए पनि स्वभिमानी शीर लिएर
अस्पष्ट  भविष्यसँगै
वर्तमानमा निष्फिक्री बाँच्न सक्छु म ।।।।

Study of Satake Landslide of Sangrumba VDC of Ilam District with Emphasis to Cause and Environmental Impacts

Summary  

Satake landslide of Sangrumba Village Development Committee in Ilam is a complex and active landslide activated due to Nepal-Bihar earthquake in 1990. It has swept away almost five wards of the VDC, including 22 houses and around 300 ropanis of fertile farmland of the village. A large area of the fertile farm has turned into barren slopes which ultimately affect the food production. The vulnerable people have no alternative but to shift to a safer place every monsoon.

No any mitigation measures are adopted to control the landslide. Deforestation, no water management strategies, unscientific land use practice, weak geological structure has promoted to extend landslide in to bigger size.

Landslide area is highly vulnerable for further landslide if proper mitigation measures are not implemented.
