The National Assembly (NA) lawmakers have drawn government's attention towards prompt response to the incidences of natural disasters, calling for proper management of the survivors with relief and assistance.
"Many districts in the nation reported the incidences of monsoon-caused disasters that resulted in losses of lives and property," they said during a zero hour of the upper house session today.
Bimala Ghimire said farmers who suffered losses due to last year's rain are still desperate to get compensation. She accused the government for not fulfilling the responsibility towards the survivors. She sought the government's intervention in proper management of the disaster survivors.
Ghimire also utilized the forum to vent the government for not adjusting the petroleum prices in line with the international pricelist. "Though lately, there is a fall in price in the global market, the price remains unrevised back at home."
Similarly, Sharada Devi Bhatta said this year too, monsoon has caused significant losses of lives and property in larger areas of the nation and that the government needs to reach those with relief packages.
