The Committee was formed by the Legislature-Parliament to oversee relief material distribution, re-settlement of the quake-hit persons among other operations related to disaster management.
The report which was submitted after monitoring various 10 quake-hit districts showed that many quake-hit persons in those districts were still living under the open sky (under the tent) due to government's failures to address the issue of relief material distribution and re-settlement on time.
It is noted that the quake-stricken persons in many districts had surrounded the lawmakers who had gone to take stock of their situation. It was to vent out their angst for the late response of the government for the rescue and relief operation.
Today's report has unveiled the ground realities of the quake-hit districts in the country, according to which in many villages in the mountainous district, more than 90 per cent houses were flattened by the quake and many remaining cemented houses were found to have developed cracks.
The report also showed that many villages were at high risk of landslide as the slopes of many mountains were weakened by the recurring powerful aftershocks and some places had developed fissures.
The monitoring teams, in their report, have shared that building of the school, health offices and many government offices in many of these 10 worst affected districts sustained damages.
The immediate need of those quake-hit people in the districts visited, according to the report, was their re-settlement to a safer habitat.
"Many such persons asked for re-settlement to safer shelter than food and clothes," shared one of team members of the Committee.
The report has recommended the concerned authority to provide four set of zinc sheets instead of two which the government had earlier pledged for them.
The report has also suggested the government to provide Rs 50,000 per family who were rendered homeless and provide an employment opportunity to one family person of such families.
Furthermore, the report also recommended the government to adopt one-door policy for the relief material distribution operation and to further make effective the deployment of the foreign rescue team under the command of the Nepal Army. RSS
