2081 The landslide after the incessant rains in the second week of October caused the highest loss of life in Bagmati province in Kavrepalanchok. About seven months after the incident, the government has started a detailed damage assessment of private residences in Roshi Rural Municipality, which has suffered the most loss of life.

Home Minister Ramesh Akhtar started it from Roshi rural municipality-2 Narayanatar on Wednesday. He started a detailed damage assessment by providing damage assessment letters to the three victims of Ward No. 2 of the municipality. On that day, the affected locals, Dhansingh Lama, Rajan Bohora Chhetri and Shubhadra Century, received Nissa from the Home Minister.

This work was initiated from Roshi rural municipality, which was highly affected in the incident, and now the home minister also instructed to do homework to assess the damage in the same way in all the affected municipalities. Before providing Nissa to the victims, the author observed the flood-affected Narayanatar.

The Home Minister admitted that it was late to start the reconstruction work of those affected by the floods and landslides. Although the government released Rs 7.35 million in Kavre for the construction of temporary housing only on Wednesday, 18 technicians have been deployed for detailed damage assessment at Kavre Palanchok. Special attention has been drawn to the local people's representative and chief district officer for its facilitation. 

Five hundred and sixty-three houses have been damaged in Roshi Rural Municipality. Damage assessment work has been started by forming three clusters in Roshi. The municipality will start the work only after the technician looks at the damage and determines the details.

Chief District Officer Umesh Kumar Dhakal says that since it is easy to start the reconstruction work in the district after the detailed damage assessment from the landslide, he is confident that it will speed up. "Now we believe that the government will be able to assist in the construction of private houses in the affected areas as well as bridges, physical structures, embankments and other infrastructure," said Dhakal.

Dinesh Bhatt, CEO of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, says that if the victims want to build temporary and permanent housing at the same time, that is also possible, but for that, a detailed damage assessment should be mandatory. He says, 'Previously, the local level has entered the authority's portal and now it will be easier for more effective relief/grant from the single data from the complete damage assessment.'

Central member of Nepali Congress Shiv Prasad Humagai said that temporary and permanent housing can be built only if the construction of the road to Roshi can be emphasized before the coming rains and he drew the attention of the government saying that if the remaining bridge in Falametar cannot be saved after being swept away by the flood, it will be more difficult in the coming days.
