Preparation to form high-level all-party mechanism for disaster management

Kathmandu. The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has called for an all-party meeting. The meeting will be held at 2 pm at the office of the parliamentary party of the RSP, Singha Durbar.

The Rastriya Janajatantra Party (RSP) has held a discussion to advance the process of forming a high-level all-party mechanism for disaster management, reconstruction and risk reduction.

The all-party meeting held immediately after the unexpected and devastating floods and landslides in the Bhotekoshi River had passed a 10-point common resolution on sustainable solution to the disaster and preparedness in Nepal.

According to point number 10 of the same resolution, the disaster management should not be limited to immediate relief and response but should seek long-term solution.

According to the RSP, an agreement was reached to form a ‘parliamentary committee’ or a high-level all-party mechanism for the post-disaster reconstruction, climate adaptation, timely improvement in the national disaster policy and continuous consultation, assistance and monitoring of the government’s performances.

The RSP has called an all-party meeting to discuss the issue of forwarding the process of forming a mechanism as soon as possible.

The RSP has urged the concerned parties and representatives to be present in the meeting.
