By A Staff Reporter,Kathmandu, July 11:The Nepali Congress has urgently called upon all levels of government to intensify efforts in response to the devastating natural disasters gripping Nepal.

“The situation demands swift and decisive action from the government,” stated Paudel. “It is imperative to intensify search and rescue operations, provide relief to affected families, and ensure comprehensive medical treatment for the injured,” read the press release.

In collaboration with fraternal and benevolent organisations, the Nepali Congress has mobilised efforts to identify and mitigate risks in vulnerable areas prone to further landslides and flooding. They have appealed for concerted efforts to relocate citizens from high-risk zones to safer locations.
