Jajarkot earthquake reconstruction delayed due to budget, manpower shortages

Victims have spent a second winter in temporary shelters and now face another monsoon under leaking roofs.

Nearly 15 months after the devastating Jajarkot earthquake, the government deployed 50 technicians in Jajarkot and 40 in Rukum West for the Detailed Damage Assessment (DDA) in February third week. The deadline for DDA presentation, initially set for March third week, has now been extended by another month.
