Baitadi was part of the Katyuri Kingdom of present-day India during the 10th century. This kingdom was later conquered by the Khas king, Ashok Challa. However, the Chand kings eventually waged war against the Khas ruler and established an independent kingdom of Baitadi.
In Baitadi you can find stories such as children using social media platforms to elope, prompting local laws to prohibit the use of mobile phones for children under 12.
