Kathmandu, March 24: Chief Executive Officer at Nepal Reconstruction Authority (NRA) Dr Govindaraj Pokharel has urged the Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation (MoFSC) and other stakeholders to provide timber to the quake-survivors on discount for the construction of new houses.
CEO’s appeal has come at a time when complaints have been widespread that the quake-survivors in 14 worst hit districts are unable to rebuild their quake-damaged houses in lack of timbers despite the passage of two years since the 7.6 magnitude quake rattled the country on April 25, 2015.
In a meeting held here among the stakeholders, CEO Pokharel demanded for availing the subsidized timbers to the quake-survivors at the earliest.
Present in the meeting were the Secretary at the MoFSC, Prakash Mathema, Director General of the Department of Forestry Krishna Prasad Acharya and the Timber Corporation of Nepal Managing Director Raju Laudari who assured CEO Gyawali of doing the needful on the same.
Gyawali also urged them to put in place transportation services for the transportation of the timber to the 14 worst-hit districts. RSS
