He is worried about how to make a living when the food provided by the municipality and organizations is not sufficient.

Amar Bahadur Mahar of Bheri Municipality-4 is also suffering from the problem of family members getting sick every week since the earthquake. His wife Birmi and elder daughter Kamala are suffering from fever for a week now. He said that the family of 8 people is still suffering because they have to live alone. "Day by day, the roof leaks, it is difficult to save food and clothes, and landslides have started falling from above the roof," he said. So we are forced to stay awake at night if it rains . It was difficult to save the family until the house was built.'

Rukum West's Athabiskot and other markets, he unloaded the goods of the vehicle and said that the wages were also irregular. Due to this, he complained that it was difficult to meet the expenses of the family.

Most of the fields of earthquake victims in Nalgad are barren now . Because of this, Gyan Bahadur Mahar of Nalgad Municipality-1 started worrying about what to eat in winter. He has been going to work in India for about 9 months every year for almost 15 years, when he came home to celebrate Dasain last year, the earthquake happened. He said that since the earthquake, he has only been sleeping and eating.

He says that the food given by the donors is reaching so far. His wife, who goes to work in markets such as Rimna and Dalli, has not been able to return to work since the earthquake. "If it was not decided when the house would be built, then he could have gone to India and earned 1/2 month to bring it here. They said that the price of the house is needed to complete the government process of the new house, so he could not go," he said. We are living a more difficult life than livestock in Tahara, many lives have been spared.'

Due to the earthquake that happened on November 17 last year, 48 thousand 517 beneficiaries have been established in Jajarkot alone.

According to him, 32 thousand 6 beneficiaries have been established across the district. He informed that an additional budget has been requested from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority to provide funds to the rest.

The federal government has allocated 21 billion rupees for reconstruction in the budget of the current financial year. But the amount has been kept in the bond fund of the Ministry of Finance, Barekot Rural Municipality Chairman Bir Bahadur Giri said. "That amount should have gone to the National Reconstruction Authority, the amount placed in the Abanda fund can be taken anywhere," he said, "Detail damage assessment has not been done yet, which makes it unclear when the reconstruction will take place." If the distribution of the installment amount has not yet been completed, there is a problem due to the lack of reconstruction procedures, said the Jajarkot Pragya officer. "Procedures are also under discussion in the federal parliament, there may be a reassessment," he said, "now we are in the process of distributing the second installment of temporary housing as soon as possible." .

Meghraj Sharma of Khalanga Bazar said that nearly 100 houses are being built in the headquarters of Khalanga. "The distribution of funds for temporary housing is so slow, it will be more painful to build a house later. I am building a house myself after having to wait for a long time," he said Even during the construction of houses, the problems of map pass, shortage of workers, high cost of construction materials have been seen.

Rajuvikram Shah, a civic leader, said that although the government's efforts in post-earthquake rescue are satisfactory, they are being neglected now. According to him, looking at the condition of temporary housing construction, it is now seen that there will be more delay in reconstruction. "Government gave 5 lakhs at most, it is not enough to build 2 rooms, it takes at least 1.5 million rupees to build a house like now". . According to him, now the house that needs to be retrofitted has to be demolished. "Almost 40 percent of the beneficiaries are in a condition where they can live by retrofitting their houses, now the beneficiaries have a big problem, the government does not provide subsidies," he said. Where to put ?'

Bir Bahadur Giri, chairman of Barekot Rural Municipality, said that there is no option for people to live in safe housing. "No matter how permanent housing should be built," he said, "the government cannot make any excuse for that."

'We could have done something, right, our way to work is blocked, he doesn't do anything either,' he said, 'temporary housing procedure was also made on the basis of Hachuwa, families of 3 people and families of 20 people get the same The amount has been distributed in the assessment, the reconstruction procedure will be the same, right?
