Kathmandu,
Feb. 7:
The
National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) has formed a committee to reconstruct
the western part of the Singha Durbar's main building.
The
NRA Executive Committee meeting on Tuesday decided to form the committee which
will be led by Dr. Hari Ram Parajuli, executive member of the reconstruction
body.
According
to NRA spokesperson Yam Lal Bhusal, representatives from the Department of Archaeology,
NRA and Ministry of Urban Development, and archaeologists Rohit Ranjitkar,
Santosh Shrestha and Rabindra Puri are the members of the committee.
"The
committee will reconstruct the main building of the Singha Durbar without
dismantling it," said Bhusal.
The
building was severely damaged in the earthquakes in 2015.
A
study by Digicon Engineering Consult last month had suggested not to retrofit
the building, but to reconstruct it.
