People constructing quake resistant houses of their choice to get grants

KATHMANDU, April 11: In view of the construction of houses by the earthquake sufferers on their own efforts after the government delayed grants, the meeting of the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) held in the presence of the Prime Minister decided to provide the grants to the houses of people's choice, if they are found quake resistant.

The NRA meeting held under the chairmanship of PM KP Sharma Oli took such decision on Sunday.


NRA Spokesperson Ram Prasad Thapaliya said those having their records in the Central Bureau of Statistics as the quake sufferers, and beginning the construction of houses before the agreement with NRA, would get the government grants once their houses were found quake resistant during the inspection by the NRA technologists.

He made it clear that if the members (brothers) of any family were found living under a single household before April 25 quake as recorded by the concerned District Land Revenue Office, they would get the grants as a single family. RSS
