Kathmandu, Aug 11
The National
Reconstruction Authority (NRA) on Sunday urged the beneficiaries of the housing
grant to activate their bank accounts as soon as possible.
The NRA had signed
the grant agreement with the families, which lost their house in the
devastating Gorkha Earthquake 2015.
“Those families who
have signed the grant agreement with the NRA but have not activated their bank
account should do it so at the earliest in order to receive the money,” said
the reconstruction body.
It had made the call
since the first installment was deposited to the bank account of the respective
family but the money remained idle as the beneficiaries did not use it.
According to Manohar
Ghimire, Deputy Spokesperson of the NRA, bank accounts of thousands of families
have become dormant and the money in them has remained
idle.
He urged the
beneficiaries to withdraw the money and start the reconstruction of their
houses.
“If the accounts were
not activated in time, the NRA will deactivate them,” he informed.
About 602,443
beneficiaries of the total 767,608 families have started rebuilding their house
and received the second installation of the grant.
