Nepal prone to natural calamities
UNDP's resident representative in Nepal, Robert Piper said Wednesday that the Government of Nepal has not been able to translate the risk agenda into action as most buildings constructed in the capital are hardly earthquake-resistant. Speaking to media persons at a program in Kathmandu, he also expressed serious concerns as Nepal could be hit by major earthquake like that of 1934. He also urged the government to implement the New Disaster Management Act, 2007, which may prevent casualties.
