Soil Dust Major Problem in Rural Roads in Nepal

Image
The rural areas in Nepal badly affected by dust pollution in the air . This air pollution is leading people to serious problems with health . People are facing respiratory and other health problems but responsible units and persons are not paying attention.     Dusty roads in the rural area Recently, I started about a 30-kilometer journey from a tourist hob city Pokhara to Deurali village by bus. It was after the rainy season and the day was mild sunny. Although some pitches of clouds were roaming on the northern horizon.

The village is using home to home water supply, electricity, and connection with motor-able roads. The change was not imaginable for us in our childhood.

I had seen hard laboring people in arable fields and cattle shades in my childhood. I saw fertile and arable land remain uncultivated now. Most of the population migrated to urban areas or aboard. I meet some villagers there and note that the human activities
