February 4: Normal life in Humla district has been thrown out of gear due to snowfall that occurred from Thursday morning.    
Regular flights have also been disrupted owing to the snowfall. As the flights could not take place, the supply of foodstuff from Nepalgunj and Surkhet has also been affected.    
Likewise, service delivery from the government and non-governmental organisations has also been impacted by the snowfall.    
Humla is one of the most remote districts of Nepal which heavily relies on air transportation despite newly-built road access to the lower belt of the district. As the district falls in mountainous region, it witnesses heavy rainfall each year. People of the northern belt often migrate to the low lands during winter to avoid excessive cold.

Meanwhile, the entire official works of the District Administration Office, Humla, have been suspended after Assistant Chief District Officer Dasharath Rai tested positive for corona virus infection. (With inputs from RSS)
