Kathmandu, Jan 27 (RSS): The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) has directed the officials of concerned bodies to provide concessional loan to the earthquake survivors.
The NRA on Friday issued such directive after holding discussion with representatives of Finance Ministry, Nepal Rastra Bank and Bankers’ Association at the NRA.
Out of 767,000 earthquake survivors, only 659 survivors have got this facility. On the occasion, NRA Chief Executive Officer Yubraj Bhusal directed to issue notice at banks within three days, so that the quake survivors would be aware of it.
Spokesperson at the Finance Ministry, Ram Sharan Pudasaini, said that the government had expressed commitment to providing interest of such loan to the bank, while Deputy Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank, Chintamani Shiwakoti, said that an arrangement was made in the working procedure that the bank could not take any charge except two per cent interest while providing loan to the quake sufferers.
Similarly, Bankers’ Association Chairperson Gyanendra Dhungana expressed commitment to taking action against the banks which have not provided Rs 2.5 million to earthquake survivors of the Kathmandu Valley and Rs 1.5 million to those out of the Valley as per the agreement with government.
