Kathmandu, Aug 15: Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba made an onsite visit to the nine districts of the Tarai, affected by floods, landslides and inundation.
The Prime Minister took stock of the situation and issued necessary directives to the concerned authorities in Bara, Rautahat, Sarlahi, Dhanusa, Mahottari, Siraha, Sunsari, Morang and Jhapa districts today, according to his private secretariat.
In a meeting with the government authorities of the eastern region at the Nepali Army regional headquarters in Itahari, Prime Minister Deuba urged them to involve in the rescue and relief efforts without any shortcomings. “Concentrate yourself in ensuring that the floods survivors are provided with relief support,” he said. I don’t want to hear any shortcomings in the relief and compensation distribution to the survivors.
Likewise, holding interaction with the flood survivors at Krishna Temple in Itahari, the Prime Minister said that the rescue and relief in itself was a very serious job, and assured to provide relief and compensation at the earliest.
“The government is sensitive to the great humanitarian and physical losses caused by the flood in Tarai. The government shall provide relief amount at your hand soon,” the PM said. He added that the government would provide Rs 200,000 in compensation to the families of the dead within some days as decided earlier.
Though transportation of the relief materials was a tough job, the PM said that concerned authorities have been directed to provide to the affected communities even by purchasing in the local market. “We have made arrangements to buy goods in the local market though bringing the relief material was difficult due to vehicular disruption,” PM Deuba said.
On the occasion, he pledged government’s full support in rescue and relief operation. RSS
