Two hundred and sixty four people of 62 households residing in Dhobikhola and 45 additional households in Kanithok of Godawari-2 will benefit from the scheme.

Addressing the function, Rana said the water supply scheme was a good example of excellent work completed at a minimum cost. He said there should not be any compromise on the development of infrastructure related to road and drinking water.
The source of the water was damaged by the 2015 earthquake and the locals were facing a hard time.
The completion of water supply scheme has solved the problem of drinking water in the village, said Purusottam Bista, chairperson of the Water Users’ Committee.
A concrete reservoir tank with the capacity of 12,000 liters of water has been constructed while other two tanks with capacity of 10,000 liters and 5000 liters have been installed to supply water to the locals.
