KATHMANDU: It has been six years since the devastating earthquake rattled the country and the National Reconstruction Authority has claimed that 93 per cent of private houses damaged/ destroyed have been rebuilt.
As per NRA, majority of reconstruction works have been completed across the country while some infrastructure are in the final stages of reconstruction.
“We have achieved 93 per cent progress in the reconstruction of private houses, which is the main area of NRA’s work responsibility,” said NRA CEO Sushil Gyewali.
He inforned that out of 811,754 earthquake beneficiaries who had signed agreement for the government grant, 753,104 have finished rebuilding their houses. Similarly, the first instalment has been distributed to 99.86 per cent of the beneficiaries, 86.78 per cent beneficiaries have received the second instalment and 78.66 per cent have received the third and final instalment.
However, as the final stages of reconstruction unfold, attention must now shift toward not only completing the remaining projects but also ensuring that these homes are built to withstand future challenges. The emphasis on sustainable construction practices, durable materials, and modern architectural solutions will determine the long-term success of this massive rebuilding effort.
