KARNALI: The Karnali province government has decided to prepare skilled workers (masons) for reconstruction in Jajarkot earthquake-affected areas.

The province government is planning to impart training to rebuild environment-friendly physical infrastructure, reduce disaster-caused damage by adhering to the necessary policies and methods and prepare human resources with knowledge, skills and technology in the community.

A tripartite agreement has been signed for this.

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between Karnali Province Training Academy, National Society of Earthquake Technology Nepal and local levels.

Chief Minister of Karnali Province Raj Kumar Sharma said that Jajarkot earthquake would be taken as an opportunity for rebuild.

“There is no alternative but to bring into action the lessons learnt by the earthquake,” he said, adding had we been able to learn from the 2015 Gorkha Barpak earthquake, we would not have suffered such a huge loss from the Jajarkot earthquake”.

Chief Minister Sharma said although the government’s initiatives in search, rescue and relief after the earthquake were significant, the reconstruction work has been delayed.
