As thousands of displaced people suffer numerous problems related to food and shelter, the local administration on Sunday said it is going to rehabilitate them within a week. Following the government's directives, District Administration Office (DAO) Sunsari is preparing to set up temporary shelters either in Narsingha or Bhokraha VDCs. According to Local Development Officer (LDO), Guru Prasad Subedi, tens of thousands of displaced people will be rehabilitated temporarily in shanties and makeshift huts within a week. As per government data, about 40,000 people of waterlogged Shripur, Haripur, Pashchim Kusaha and Pashchim Laukahi VDCs have been displaced due to the flood. However, political parties and various organizations claimed that the number of displaced people exceeded 60,000. Chief District Officer, Durga Bhandari informed that those displaced staying in schools, campuses and other religious institutions near Inaruwa would be rehabilitated in the first phase. Some 3,000 shanties and makeshift huts will be constructed at either Narshingha or Bhokraha, southeast of Koshi River with the assistance from United Nations Children Emergency Fund and Oxfam. Meanwhile, chairman of Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Kush Kumar Joshi said during a visit with security heads on Sunday that business communities were also ready to help the administration in rehabilitation efforts. It is estimated that about 150 million rupees will be spent to build shelters. The flood continues to erode the embankment at Prakashpur of Pashchim Kusaha. The locals expressed anger at the delay in arrival of a technical team to maintain the embankment and spur in the area. On Sunday, when Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives, Jayaprakash Gupta and his team inspected the flood affected site at Paschim Kusaha, he told locals that the government would leave no stone unturned in ensuring rescue and relief of displaced people. Donors call for proper aid management Donors have demanded that government authorities make necessary arrangements for proper use and distribution of relief materials meant for victims. They claimed that victims were provided enough relief materials at some places but were denied even basic things at other places. According to LDO Guru Subedi, about 100,000 kg foodstuff have been collected for flood-hit people so far. Nepal Army choppers dropped some 2,000 quintal foodstuffs in flood affected areas on Sunday.
