Kathmandu, May 2 -- There are still two months to go before the monsoon breaks, but Roma Gurung who survived last September's flash flood in Panauti is worried about what the rainy season has in store.

The massive debris flow of 28-29 September was unleashed by record-breaking rainfall, but it was made worse by stone quarries and sand mining as well as encroachment along the floodplains.

"The rains will arrive soon, and we don't know where we should go," says Gurung, who was nearly swept away last year. "Last time I ran up the hill with my husband and two children and watched our house being swept away by a flood. I do not know if I have the strength and courage to go through that again."
