Kathmandu, Apr. 24
President of Nepal,
Ramchandra Paudel, called for collective awareness and action and encouraged
citizens to adopt safety measures and disaster education.
In his message issued
on the Earthquake Memorial Day that is marked on Friday, he paid tribute to
those who lost their lives during the devastating earthquake of 2015.
Emphasising that
earthquakes, though natural, need not lead to severe human losses, the
President urged greater awareness and preparedness.
President Paudel
highlighted Nepal’s high seismic risk due to its geological structure and
vulnerable infrastructure. He acknowledged the government's significant
progress in rebuilding quake-affected structures using earthquake-resistant
technologies. He also expressed confidence in reduced future risks.
The President thanked
everyone who contributed to reconstruction and hoped this day inspires unity
and resilience in facing natural disasters.
