Kathmandu, June 24
Earthquake victims from Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur, waiting for government engineers to come to them for collection of details of damage their houses suffered in last year’s quakes, need to stop waiting now.
What shall they do then? They should go to their respective VDC or ward offices because government engineers will not visit households to write down the victims’ names and collect the details of the damage they suffered.
This, because the National Reconstruction Authority has decided not to survey all quake-damaged houses located in three districts of the Kathmandu Valley — Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur. The authority decided against surveying each and every quake-damaged house, pointing that the exercise will be time-consuming.
The authority has issued a notice, asking quake victims, whose names have not been included on the victims’ list, to visit VDC and ward offices concerned within a week with copies of citizenship certificates, to register their names on the list.
Sushil Gyawali, CEO at the NRA, informed about this at NRA board of directors’ meeting held at the Prime Minister’s Official Residence in Baluwatar on Friday.
