Janakpurdham, April 19
The Province 2 government has decided to take relief materials to each house of the needy if they are in problem due to the lockdown imposed to control the coronavirus outbreak and are not able to come to relief distribution centres.
A meeting of the provincial council of ministers held on Sunday morning made the decision.
Earlier, the local governments had been distributing relief materials in their jurisdictions. Many local communities had expressed dissatisfaction over the process citing it was not fair and many privileged people also got the relief support. Considering the controversies, the provincial government made the decision to change the model.
Now onwards, District Cottage and Small-scale Industry Office will purchase the relief materials, pack them and provide to ward committees. The ward committees have been assigned to provide support to the needy’s house within the next 24 hours.
