Some hilly districts where agriculture production is low have begun to face food crisis quite earlier than they used to previously. Reports from Taplejung say villagers in northern part of the district have been facing food shortage due to snowfall since a month. The Chinese government has put restriction on travel of Nepalis to Tibet, to boy foodstuff, after the Lhasa riot even after the snow melted now. The villagers find Tibet nearer for food supply than traveling to district headquarters.
