Curbs on bamboo spark migration to India

Kathmandu, May 2 (UNI) A large number of Nepalese young from families of weavers have joined the march to India in search of employment due to restrictions on chopping bamboo, affecting the earnings of those who have traditionally relied on the craft.
A serious shortage of the Himalayan bamboo has left weavers in a Nepal village worried about the extinction of their craft as the Khaptad National Park has placed curbs on cutting bamboo, fearing that bamboo will go extinct at the rate it is being chopped, a newspaper reported on Monday.
Youth from the communities, who previously used to do their traditional work, are now leaving for India in search of employment, the report added.
