NEPALGUNJ. The need for the government to be serious in addressing food security problems was stressed during a program organised by Phiyan Nepal and various protest committees to mark World Food Day on 30 September.
Participants of the meeting felt that food security was not the only problem plaguing the country, however. Every year, the Rapti River floods its surrounding areas, causing great suffering, and they postulated that the proposed Banke National Park will also create problems for inhabitants.

Representatives of the Gandarbha community were present at the meeting, and they expressed fears that their livelihoods were under threat. They called for the constitution to ensure their rights.
