Government office inside Tripal for 5 and a half months

On October 17, 2017, the service delivery became difficult after the buildings of 16 government offices of the district were completely destroyed due to the earthquake that passed through the Ramidanda center in Barekot Rural Municipality of Jajarkot. Some offices are managed in other government offices, while the service flow of 6 government offices is being done within Tripal. Earlier, Jajarkot Palace, which housed the district administration office, was completely destroyed. Prajia Acharya said that the debris has not been removed yet. "The 27-room building was completely destroyed, there is no budget to remove the debris," he said , he says that it is difficult to work when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. The work of the district court, which is about a 10-minute walk from the district administration, is also being conducted within Tripal.

About 100 people come to the district administration daily to get services. They are forced to queue up before Tripal to take service. According to the office, there is a lot of pressure for distribution of citizenship, passport, national identity card. The chief district officer's residence has also been managed in the prison office building after it was destroyed by the earthquake.

The Jajarkot palace, where the district administration office was operating, is almost 100 years old. 3 other palaces of Peepaldanda near that palace have been destroyed. Those palaces are registered in the names of 16 people. "Despite surviving previous earthquakes, the historic palace could not be saved in this year's earthquake," said Deepak Jang Shah, a member of the lower palace, "we are not able to rebuild it alone, we are pleading with the federal government." He says that it is necessary to build in a way that is free from earthquake risk. According to a study conducted by the Department of Archeology 3 months ago, it will cost at least 5 million rupees to remove the ruins of the district administration office. Some sections of the district court and the work of the bench are being conducted in some rooms of the district attorney's office.

Malpot, Napi, District Police Office and other government offices are also being operated from temporary towers. "Because it is a very windy place, there is concern that at some point the tripal will be blown," said an employee of the district court. We are forced to work hard.'

216 school buildings across the district have been destroyed. A temporary teaching center has been constructed and operated for its management. Prabhakar Sharma, headmaster of Suryodaya Basic School located in Bheri Municipality-1, said that despite the enrollment drive started from Sunday, education is being affected due to lack of buildings. "After the annual exam, we took a break from school for about 1 month, if there was some building reconstruction work, it would have been very easy to teach," he said 3 school buildings were completely destroyed.

According to the District Administration Office, 152 government and community buildings have been destroyed due to the earthquake. Likewise, 37 roads, 45 monasteries and 56 water supply schemes have been damaged.
