The Prime Minister gave such order on Sunday during a joint meeting of National Reconstruction Authority, concerned ministers and stakeholders held at Prime Minister Office in Singha Durbar, Kathmandu.
According to PM’s order, the reconstruction activities are to be carried out in such a way so that the most-affected families could avail themselves with the relief at first. Likewise, he also gave orders to grant subsidised loan to the families who are willing to construct their homes and bring into effect policies to manage the distribution of relief to the families displaced by the earthquake.
The catastrophic earthquake of 2015 had killed nearly 9000 people and injured nearly 22,000.
