On the occasion, Bhaktapur municipality Mayor Sunil Prajapati said the users committee should be entrusted with the responsibility for heritage reconstruction for quality assurance and ownership of people. Some of the earthquake-ravaged heritages have already been reconstructed and some others are under the rebuild process.
Mayor Prajapati also claimed that the reconstruction works would gain momentum if the responsibility for the same was given to the local governments. The state should provide adequate woods, arrange budgetary allocations and pay attention to producing a competent human resource to take ahead the reconstruction works in a speedy manner.
