Kathmandu, Aug. 30
The Nepal Automobile Importers
and Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) has decided to contribute Rs. 5 million to the Prime Minister Disaster
Relief Fund to support relief and rehabilitation efforts for communities
affected by the devastating flood in the Bhotekoshi River in Rasuwa.
NAIMA has expressed deep sorrow
over the loss of lives and property caused by the disaster. The Association
extends its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, pays tribute to
those who lost their lives, and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured.
NAIMA has also acknowledged the
support extended by its member companies during this difficult time. Since the
onset of the disaster, member companies have contributed to relief and rescue
efforts through financial assistance, transportation support, logistics, and
other forms of assistance.
Noting that NAIMA has supported
the government and affected communities during disasters and emergencies since
its establishment, NAIMA President Ritu Singh Vaidya said, “Supporting the government
and affected citizens during times of disaster is a shared responsibility of
the private sector. Effective relief and rehabilitation can only be achieved
through strong cooperation among the government, private sector, and
communities.”
NAIMA has also expressed its
appreciation to the government and security agencies, health professionals,
rescue personnel, volunteers, local communities, and organizations engaged in
search, rescue, and relief efforts.
The Association has encouraged
stakeholders across the automobile and mobility sector to extend support to
affected communities according to their capacity and available resources.
