Number of Patients were decreased this season by more than 50% due to April 25, 2015 Earthquake and Indian Blockade. Tourism industry is also badly affected though HRA continued its operation.
Both Aid-posts will remain closed during winter. HRA is all set to continue its Aid-post operations in the Spring 2016.
