Dr. Mahabir Pun was recently asked about recovery projects in Nepal and reminds us the country is still experiencing unsettling aftershocks resulting in a paralyzed economy.
“It is too early to decide what to do for the recovery project. There are several earthquakes happening everyday in the range of 4 to 6 scale. Therefore, most of the people too scared and are staying outside their houses during the day and night. The roads are almost empty and the shops, schools and offices are closed. Even if the doors of some government offices are opened, people are not working or there is no work to do.”
In regards to his present plans:
“I am planning to rebuild some of the relay towers outside Kathmandu valley that are totally damaged with the help of people from Télécoms Sans Frontières, France. They are here for two months and want to help install communication facilities in some of the rural areas.”
