Chaudandigadhi

Chaudandigadhi is a municipality in Udayapur District, in the eastern Province No. 1 of Nepal. It was set up on 10 March 2017 by merging four former village development committees, Chaudandi, Siddipur, Hadiya and Sundarpur, with the existing Beltar Basaha municipality, which had itself been formed in 2014 from Beltar and Basaha. The new unit took its name from the old Chaudandi committee. It is bordered by Belka Municipality to the east, Triyuga to the west, the districts of Khotang and Bhojpur to the north and Sunsari District to the south. The 2011 census figures for the localities that now make it up give a population of 48,574 living in 10,519 households. Nepali is the most widely spoken language, followed by Tharu, Chamling, Bantwa, Magar and Maithili, and Rai people form the largest single group.
