Karnali Snowfall Cuts Off Namkha Rural Municipality, Election Concerns Rise.

Heavy snowfall has completely blocked the Nara and Nyalu passes, isolating the Hilsa and Limi villages in Humla. Local officials reported today that ballot boxes for the three polling centers in Limi will likely require helicopter transport, as the 3-foot deep snow is not expected to melt before the March 5 election.
