Government says it has plan to tackle monsoon disasters, but local units are not assured

With rainfall expected to be above normal this year, authorities say they are better prepared than last year. But experts say rather than anticipatory plans, focus is on post disaster response.

Last June, there were deadly landslides in Durlung of Kushma Municipality, Parbat. The first monsoon-induced disaster in the country of 2020 killed nine and displaced 13 families.
