Chief Executive Officer of National Reconstruction Authority Govinda Raj Pokharel has said the second tranche of the housing reconstruction aid will be distributed to the families rendered homeless by the Gorkha Earthquake soon.

Speaking at Dhulikel in Kavre on Friday, Pokharel said the NRA had sent Rs11.75 billion to the Central Project Implementation Unit under the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development to distribute the second tranche of the housing aid to the homeless.

The money would be distributed after the ministry releases the funds to the District Development Committees.

The government has decided to provide Rs300,000 to all the households listed in the 14 districts in three instalments of Rs50,000, Rs150,000 and Rs100,000.
