Burtibang

Burtibang (Nepali: बुर्तिबाङ) is a village development committee in Baglung District in the Dhaulagiri Zone of central Nepal.

Burtibang, which is connected to the Mid-HillHighway and the Dhorpatan-Saljhandi-Lumbini highway and the national road network, is developing as an emerging rural town and business hub.

Located at a distance of 90 km from Baglung district headquarters, the city has not yet been able to provide good health services.

While some private sector hospitals have come into operation, the area, which has been plagued by armed people's war, has been undergoing rapid urbanization since 2065 BS.

Stating that the Baglung district headquarters has not been reached for development and infrastructure construction, health and education, the people and representatives of the region have demanded that some municipalities of West Baglung including Dhorpatan Municipality, Nishikhola, Tamankhola, Badigad and Tarakhola Ruralmunicipality be made separate Burtibang districts at different times and places.
