A year ago, the government was criticized for not being able to rescue 2 people who were trapped in Lalitpur-25, Sugam settlement, which is 7 km from Singhdarbar. The then Home Minister Ramesh Ukhtar said that the helicopter could not land due to 'visibility' and could not rescue 2 people.

 However, after the 2 people said by the author were rescued by the local 33-year-old Chaniklal Tamang, it was publicized that the 'visibility of the government' was weak, not seasonal. 

Now, when there are floods and landslides in the country, the then government led by KP Sharma Oli has left and there is a civil government under the leadership of Sushila Karki proposed from Gen-G. This time, the government has been praised for its initiative to prevent possible accidents by giving advance warning of floods and landslides through the Meteorological Division. 

Dr. who is a deputy professor of environmental science in Patan campus. Amrit Sharma says that the government has sent a message that it is accountable to the people by showing vigilance as per the forecast. "To solve this problem in the long term, the coordination of all relevant agencies is necessary," he says, who studied flooding from Tsinghua University in China, "However, the immediate efforts to stop the arrival of vehicles according to advance notice and prevent human casualties are commendable." 

Last year, due to the negligence of the home administration, 35 people died in the Jhaple river in Dhading, which is 2.7 km from the check post of Nagadhunga crossing the capital. 

The passenger vehicle was buried in the landslide between 3 and 4 am when the District Administration Office, Dhading did not stop the vehicle despite the flood and landslide warning.

It took more than 24 hours for the home administration to even know how many vehicles were swept away by the landslide. "This year, the government seems to have prepared well. If the vehicle had not been stopped a few days earlier, there could have been more human casualties," says Subodh Adhikari, a former AIG of the Armed Police Force. A circular was issued to all 77 district administration offices to monitor and monitor it. According to a chief district officer, Home Minister Omprakash Aryal had also directed the district administration to close the road as per the requirement in a 'virtual' meeting.

According to that, the district administration office of Ilam banned the operation of vehicles except for emergency from 6 am on Sunday to 7 am on Monday. Even in Kathmandu, the roads leading to Chitlang via Thankot-Panighat, Hetaunda via Matatirth-Thakhel and the roads leading to Khanikhola via Masine from Chandragiri were closed. According to SP Pawan Bhattarai of District Police Complex, Kathmandu, the vehicle has been stopped as a precaution to avoid human casualties due to the risk of landslides. 

The Department of Water and Meteorology had predicted heavy rains from October 17 to 20. Soon after, Home Minister Aryal inspected the Disaster Management Unit of Nepal Police and Armed Police Force. On October 17, the day after Vijayadashami, he reached Nepal Police's Disaster Management Office, Samakhusi, and instructed them to work with high morale to control and reduce the loss of life and property that may occur due to the risk of disaster.

During that, SSP Santosh Bhattarai of the Disaster Management Office presented the disaster preparedness and response plan. By reaching the unit of the Armed Police Force, he got information about the mobilization, preparedness and resources in case of possible disasters such as floods and landslides. According to the officials, in the past, the home minister used to visit the headquarters for inspection during normal conditions, but this year, Aryal reached during an emergency and took information about the preparations along with the unit commander. 

The home administration had also instructed the chief district officers and police chiefs of all districts to attend the office 24 hours a day. "If rescue by helicopter is required due to floods and landslides, please contact the peace security and crime control division of the ministry," said the circular, "send the progress report of the mentioned works to the disaster and conflict management division." The deployment of army helicopters used to take time due to technical issues. "This time, we kept the helicopter on standby before the disaster, coordinated with the army and even communicated with private air service operators," says Dheeraj Joshi, private secretary of the Home Minister, "because of this, it became easy to use in an emergency." 

The Nepali Army had deployed military helicopters for rescue in Itahari in the east along with Surkhet and Kathmandu airways. According to that, two people who were seriously injured in the landslide in Ilam were rescued by a military helicopter, says Assistant Rathi Rajaram Basnet.

Ministry of Home Affairs had sent a letter to the Air Service Operators Association on Saturday asking them to keep the helicopter in a deployed condition. In the letter signed by Deputy Secretary Nishan Raj Gautam, according to the forecast of the Department of Water and Meteorology, from October 18 to 20, there will be rain with lightning from Koshi Province to Lumbini Province.

Looking at all the background, it seems that the government is fully prepared to respond to the disaster, says the former AIG official. "Another aspect is that even the security personnel who were chased in the Gen-G movement today served the citizens with high morale," he says. "Now there is widespread dissatisfaction, so if something is not done right because of the employees or us, the level of dissatisfaction with the government and the state will enter a new stage," he said on Saturday. For this, the Ministry used some Gen-G leaders and various organizations in coordination. Speaker Devraj Ghimire has also praised the role played by the government in disaster response.
