NRA extends re-survey deadline


Kathmandu, June 16
The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) has extended the deadline of the re-survey of the quake-damaged house till the end of June 2019.

The extension came as some quake hit houses were not included in the past surveys.
The re-survey being conducted to collect data of the households that complained of not being included in the beneficiaries' lists although their houses were completely damaged in the devastating 2015 Gorkha Earthquake.

The reconstruction body had planned to conclude the survey by Saturday, 15 June. "But the work could not be concluded in all the districts in the set time. So we have extended the deadline for two weeks," said the Deputy Spokesperson of the NRA Manohar Ghimire.

He said that in order to address the complaint registered to the NRA by Saturday, the deadline was extended.

The central information system of the NRA has received about 60,000 compliant so far from the quake affected districts.

The reconstruction body has also urged the quake-affected families to support the technicians mobilised in the field and get their damaged house surveyed.

He has also urged the representatives of the local governments to help in collecting the real data of the victims and not to include those families that have another undamaged house in the survey.

It has also warned that if non-victim families were recommended for the housing grant, the person who recommended would be punished.

This survey will only include those families who were not included in the previous surveys.
