Government Implements New Regulations for Building Construction Quality and Safety

Kathmandu. The government has implemented new rules to systematize and improve the quality of building construction and to minimize potential structural risks. The Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration has directed all rural municipalities and municipalities across the country through a circular to ensure that the technician who approves the map of a house or building and the one who issues the completion certificate are not the same person.

The Local Level Coordination Branch of the Ministry sent a letter to all local levels on Jestha 4, 2083, directing the implementation of the decision of the Ministry of Urban Development. The Ministry informed through its website on Asar 2 that this circular was issued based on the letter and ministerial-level decision of the Ministry of Urban Development dated Jestha 23, 2083.
