Kathmandu, June 1: The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) has mobilized altogether 13 female engineers in two quake-hit districts for detailed damage assessment of the quake-survivors household left to be enlisted in the reconstruction aid beneficiaries’ list earlier.
The trained female engineers will first survey more than 1,000 households in Nuwakot and Dolakha in the first phase and will identify the reasons for their exclusion from the beneficiary list, said Manohar Ghimire, Chief of the NRA’s Department of Information Management.
It has come in a move by the Authority to address the grievances of the quake-affected households from the worst-hit 14 districts that they were bereft of the government’s reconstruction aid for not being enlisted in the beneficiary list.
The all-women engineers’ team was bade farewell here Wednesday by the NRA’s CEO Prof Dr Govindaraj Pokharel, Secretary Sarbajit Prasad Mahato and Executive member at the NRA, Dr Ram Hari Parajuli among others.
On the occasion, CEO Dr Prokharel directed the female engineers to take stock taking of the quake-survivors, admitting that many of their genuine demands were not being heeded yet.
Once the surveyors bring the information on the same, it will be re-verified and the genuine cases of quake-hit households would be enlisted in the beneficiary list, according to the NRA. RSS
