It seems that the government has allocated a budget not only for temporary housing but also for reconstruction. But living under tarpaulins and temporary roofs for 14 months is a serious negligence on the part of the people's representatives for the lives of the earthquake victims.

On the midnight of 17th November 2080, the earthquake of magnitude 6.4 which was centered in Ramidanda of Ward No. 1 of Barekot Rural Municipality of Jajarkot devastated the lives of Jajarkot and Rukum West. 101 people lost their lives in Jajarkot alone.
More than 158 people were injured. In Rukum West, 53 people lost their lives and more than 179 people were injured. According to local administration figures, individual, government and public Jajarkot, Rukum West, and surrounding districts More than 72 thousand houses were damaged including in Salyan, Dailekh, Jumla and Kalikot. If you want to calculate crops, livestock etc. The damage figure reaches billions of rupees . Days, months and years passed after the earthquake, and the reconstruction work could not proceed .
The indifference of public representatives
The reconstruction work after the earthquake The situation of other districts and municipalities is almost the same, but this time let's discuss Jajarkot . All seven Local government is at the local level. There was no representation in the province and the House of Representatives. Those elected from there are also becoming ministers. But why are they not hurt Jajarkot ? Looking at the relief received from the District Disaster Management Office at the end of November and the progress of construction of temporary housing is interesting. According to the decision of the Government of Nepal, it is clear that by deciding to give funds at the rate of fifty thousand to each beneficiary for the construction of temporary housing, the funds have been sent to the city/village office through the District Disaster Management Office.
It seems that 25,000 rupees have been distributed in the first installment, but the statistics show that some municipalities have only given 25,000 rupees to some families and some municipalities have not distributed the remaining 25,000 rupees immediately in the second installment. It seems that the government has allocated a budget not only for temporary housing but also for reconstruction. But making fun of the lives of earthquake victims who have been living under tents and temporary roofs for 14 months is a serious negligence of the people's representatives.
People's representatives should go one step further and raise their voice for reconstruction, not just temporary housing. The budget should be requested. We should warn not to procrastinate and lead innovation. But even the money that came to the fund could not be distributed, MP It is unfortunate that the municipality, the municipality to the ward, the ward to the clerk, the clerk shows the procedures and turns away. It is very serious not to pay attention to the fact that the economic and social life of the earthquake victim is being destroyed. It is very sad that the money released for rehabilitation and reconstruction after the earthquake is kept in the government account and people's lives are spent in Tripal and Tahara. . Chairman of CPN (UML) KP Sharma Oli decided to proceed with the post-earthquake reconstruction work of Jajarkot Rukum in the first cabinet meeting on the day he was sworn in as Prime Minister. As per the decision, even though some of the necessary funds have been released, the lack of work at the local level is a conceivable aspect.
in life Risk remains
After the earthquake, various settlements are at risk. Like Jajarkot's Nalgad municipality ward no. There is a landslide at the bottom of Chiuri village of 1 and the top is washed away . Similarly, Kalpat village and Paligaon are also at high risk of landslides. Anapani has the same risk even today Some time ago, a large stone fell from the roof of the house and crashed into the door of the house.
Amrit Pun was able to save his wife Muna and son Arun in a hurry, but another bigger stone came and fell on his back and he was crushed to death by the same stone. It was a representative event. About 23 people were killed in those three villages. The risk of that settlement exists . Similarly, various villages and tolls including Junichande-5, Chedagad-12 have experienced the rainy season very hard. It is necessary to relocate those settlements. There were reports that more than 30 people died in Jajarkot and Rukum West last year due to the cold, some under Tripal and some under Goth.
Estates and slums await construction
Houses are collapsed . Along with the house, people's hearts have fallen . The dreams of the young generation have collapsed. The house is collapsing and people's dreams collapsing along with the house is a very serious matter. Silpachaur, Ramidanda, Mulsam, Samila, Dhanrashi, Pali, Kalpat, Chiuri, Thapla, Garagli, Chaulechwar, Sirke, Rimna, Maidai, Pipe, Rawatgaon, Thaple, Syala Pipaldanda and other settlements have been turned into ruins due to the earthquake. Years have passed since people started living under tents and temporary tents. Everyone's pain is the same. Some houses are waiting to collapse. They look upright but can't sit . 90% of the old houses made of stone and mud in this area are not habitable. are damaged . Due to this earthquake, material property worth billions of thousands of zajarkoti has been damaged.
The physical evidence of the history of Jajarkoti state palaces and houses built for the then royal family members have also been destroyed and damaged . The properties that have been damaged in this way include Red Darbar of Jajarkot, about 255 years old, White Darbar, about 220 years old, Thaple Upper Charnal, about 200 years old, Thaple Lower Charnal, about 180 years old Kopi, about 170 years old Babu Ghar, about 150 years old Jujuwada is older than .
It has been a long time since the government decided to give Rs 50,000 per family for temporary housing and issued Temporary Housing Construction Procedure-2080. All the victims have not been able to get the first installment and many have not been able to get the second installment. Due to the confusion in the procedure, the confusing instructions given to the local administration and the slowness of the government mechanism, the victims are in more trouble.
In this earthquake in Jajarkot, the weakness of the state's strength, coordination and initiative has been exposed. The winter of Pohar Sal has passed, the Zenten rain has passed and winter has come back again, and the worry and fear of how to cut this winter is continuing . The government should announce economic and social packages in the affected districts. The standard of living cannot be raised without making the economic activities of the people of that area sustainable. Restoring social life without increasing economic activity It cannot be done, the government should pay attention to this. Disaster should be turned into an opportunity, integrated settlement development should be maintained. Fastest The government should start the reconstruction work . Arrangements should be made to give a minimum of 5 lakh rupees per person to the victims of the earthquake and they should provide loans at subsidized interest rates from banks.
