Speaking at the function, Prime Minister Oli said all political parties, government and non-government bodies should work together in this mega campaign of reconstruction. “This campaign begins with a commitment from all political parties and organisations to work together for it, and this a matter of great happiness”, he said. He also directed the authorities concerned to take note of the commitments from the political parties and expedite the reconstruction campaign.
Pledging to sort out challenges (if any) in the course of the reconstruction, he urged all Nepali people, international community, media and other sector to help with the mega campaign. PM Oli pledged to ensure that no one would take undue benefit in the name of the reconstruction. “It will be intolerable for the government if anyone takes undue advantage from the campaign,” he warned. He also urged international donor agencies and various political party leaders to be assured that the campaign would be transparent.
Likewise, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport Management Bijaya Kumar Gachchadar said that all political parties should move ahead united to make the campaign a success. “I want to request the international community and political parties to extend their helping hand in the campaign in all quake-hit districts across the nation and for its effectiveness,” he said. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Federal Affairs and Local Development Kamal Thapa said country’s tropical position is vulnerable to earthquake risk and the government focus will be on building the earthquake-resistant houses.
The Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development has already reached to the people of local level with the disaster risk mitigation programmes. He said the government and his party Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal was solely dedicated to making the post earthquake-reconstruction campaign successful.
