Kathmandu, Jun. 7
Minister for Culture,
Tourism and Civil Aviation, Badri Prasad Pandey, has visited the Bamka Bazaar
area in his home district of Bajura to inspect the damage caused by a recent
fire.
Soon after receiving
news of the incident, Minister Pandey travelled from Kathmandu to Bajura to
conduct an on-site inspection of the fire-affected area, the Minister’s
secretariat informed in a statement on Saturday. During his visit, he assessed
the condition of homes, shops, and other structures that were destroyed in the
blaze.
The fire broke out on
Friday following a gas cylinder explosion at the Nawadurga Hotel located in
Bamka Bazaar. As a result, nearly 40 shops in the area were completely
destroyed.
Local residents,
citing significant financial losses, have urged the government to provide
relief and support for reconstruction efforts.
