Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
A bylined report in an established Nepali national English-language newspaper, standard professional journalism rather than peer reviewed scholarship or a community-edited reference; this atlas's middle tier. A CNN report on the same event was checked first and could not be fetched (HTTP 451), so this bylined local report was used in its place.
Notes
Arjun Shah's report for The Kathmandu Post, filed from Bajura district and published 9 January 2019, updated 10 January 2019. Used here for the deaths of Amba Bohora and her two sons in a chhaupadi shed, the Chief District Officer's response, and the local demolition campaign that followed.
