The Minister of Internal Affairs and Law of Bagmati province, Surajchandra Lamichhane, has said that it is necessary to prepare a mechanism for quick rescue during disasters. Minister Lamichhane, while addressing the artificial river incident exercise program organized by Armed Police Force Nepal, No. 15 Gan Kavre and Armed Police Force Nepal, No. 16 Gan Sindhupalchok at Dolalghat located in Bhumlu Rural Municipality-8 of Kavre, said that as the monsoon has already entered Nepal, incident mitigation response exercise is inevitable.

According to him, a large number of lives were lost in Kavre and Sindhupalchowk of Bagmati in the monsoon incident that occurred in October last year. "Due to the lack of preparedness, necessary resources and equipment in the disaster, there was a huge loss," he said. Mentioning that there is not enough budget available from the government for the management of the necessary resources and means for response, he requested the government to provide a budget for disaster response. Balkrishna Shrestha, head of District Coordination Committee, Sindhupalchok, said that maximum use of local resources should be made for disaster rescue and response.

Kunsang Lama, the head of Namobuddha municipality, said that the people's representative was able to work with a budget even where it was needed during the disaster.

Disaster response materials are the most important and the district does not have enough of these materials in the district, Kavre District Disaster Management Committee Coordinator and Chief District Officer Umesh Kumar Dhakal said.

Coordinator of District Disaster Management Committee Sindhupalchok and Chief District Officer Kiran Thapa said the most important in disaster  Preparedness, information and warning. He said that disaster response artificial exercises, awareness and public awareness programs are being conducted for this.
