Newly constructed houses have been handed over to six needy families in Satyawati Bauridanda, Tinau Rural Municipality-4. With the joint investment of Tinau Rural Municipality, the state and the federal government, new houses have been handed over to families who lost their homes due to natural disasters.

Pawisara Ale, Hum Bahadur Gaha, Tul Bahadur Gaha, Yam Bahadur Darlami, Yanisara Gaha and Kopilasara Rana, who were displaced after their homes were damaged beyond living condition by floods and landslides, have received new houses to live in. The funds received from the District Disaster Management Fund and a grant of Rs 400,000 per family have been provided through Tinau Rural Municipality.

Despite receiving a grant of Rs 400,000, the insufficient amount has been invested by the homeowners themselves. ‘In addition to the grant amount, we have our own additional funds and labor,’ said local Tul Bahadur Gaha, ‘After the government showed the way, we have built safe houses according to our ability.’

Tinau Rural Municipality Chairman Prem Shrestha said that while handing over the houses, the beneficiaries were selected based on the police bond, on-site recommendation of the ward office and the criteria of actual poverty.

Lal Bahadur Thapa, Vice Chairman of the Rural Municipality, said that 3 more extremely poor families have been recommended for house construction in the current fiscal year.
