Chandra Oli of Saniveri Rural Municipality-4 Golchaur has built a new house using sticks, cement and stones at a cost of around 3 million rupees after demolishing the house damaged by the earthquake. He thinks that instead of the old stone-mud house, this is a concrete house. But he does not know about the safety standards to be adopted during the construction of the house.

"After building a pillar and a strong slope of saria and cement, now it is thought that even if there is an earthquake, it will not collapse," he said. It is not only Oli's understanding that this type of house is strong and safe, but common locals have the same opinion. 

In Rukum West and Jajarkot, which were most affected by the earthquake of 17th October 2080, the physical structures including the houses being built should be earthquake resistant, but the common people are building houses without standards. The victims had been waiting for 14 months hoping to get the help of the government to build a new house. 

So far, the government has not been able to come up with a procedure for the permanent housing of the earthquake victims. Some of the victims who spent last year's winter and drought in Tripal and Tahara are going to build a house on their own by taking loans.

Maisar Jaisi of Athaviskot Municipality-14 said that one year has passed in the hopes of the government after the house collapsed. The government hardly gave even tin for Tripal and Tahara. A year passed in hopes of helping to build a house," he said. Even now the same day is repeating itself . How to save life?' 

Even though the local levels have made building construction standards, their implementation is very weak . Divya, the earthquake victim of Saniveri-4, who is going to build a house in her own way, says again that it is very difficult and expensive to pass the map from the municipality. 

We are building a concrete house even if it is one-story by mortgaging the land in the bank and looking for a loan. If you go to pass the map in the municipality, it will cost 40-50 thousand. That's why we are building house after house with the help of masons.'

Chairman of Saniveri Rural Municipality Birkh Bahadur Bista said that even though the building construction standards have been set in the municipality, there is a challenge in implementation. According to the latest data, 151 new houses have been built in the earthquake-affected wards. But the implementation of the standards set by the municipality in these houses is very low," he said. "Instead of building houses according to the standards, the people are in a situation where they go to us. After the earthquake, there was no support from the government to make permanent housing. Due to this, it has become difficult to deal with the standards.

Kashiram Khatri, sub-engineer of Saniveri rural municipality, says that due to the misunderstanding that the cost will increase due to the misunderstanding that when building a house according to government standards, the cost will also increase. We have told about the standards as much as possible. It is not just that, it should be made mandatory. Due to the lack of manpower in the municipality and the lack of awareness among the people, the construction of permanent housing is being neglected," he said.

The government decided to give 50,000 per family at the rate of 25/25 thousand rupees in two installments to build temporary housing immediately after the earthquake. Out of 32 thousand 996 earthquake victims of Rukum West, 794 have not received even the first installment, according to the data of the District Administration Office. In the

district, 23 thousand 2 hundred 2 have received the first installment . So far, 16,000 families have received the second installment and the remaining 16,996 families have not received the money, said Chief District Officer Kul Bahadur GC. "Despite asking for the remaining amount, it has not arrived," he said.

By the time 14 months of the earthquake have passed, the trust that the victims will not be able to get the government's funds for the construction of temporary housing is decreasing.

Khirmi Oli, an earthquake victim of Saniveri, questions the government and says, "The government gave 50,000 rupees to others, but we had to go to the ward and municipality many times to get 25,000." It has been said that another 25 thousand will come, but it did not come. Why has the government cheated us?' She said that people who can raise financial resources have taken loans to build houses, but they are still living in the roof.

Stating that they are doing their best on behalf of the local government on behalf of the earthquake victims, Ravi KC, the head of Athaviskot Municipality, says, 'Until the union government brings a clear procedure and manages the necessary budget, we have to continue to be insulted . Therefore, it is necessary to come up with a quick procedure and a blueprint for permanent housing construction.
