Kathmandu, June 16: As the resettlement of the houses at high risk of earthquake to safer places has been commenced by the Nepal Reconstruction Authority, the Authority has decided not to carry out any construction works in the quake-prone areas.
A meeting of the representatives of the NRA, Department of Road and Irrigation, Department of Mines and Geology, Department of Soil Conservation and Watershed Management and Department of Water Induced Disaster held here on Thursday decided on this same.
NRA Spokesperson Yam Lal Bhusal told RSS that the report prepared by the Authority recommends the resettlement of 136 human settlements in various districts hardest hit by the 7.6 magnitude Gorkha Earthquake on April 25, 2015.
A total of 2,361 households residing in those settlements are recommended to be relocated.
The resettlement of the human settlement is recommended for worst hit districts as Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Gorkha, Sindhupalchowk, Dolakha, Dhading, Lalitpur, Makawanpur, Kavrepalanchowk, Ramechhap and Okhaldunga.
