Reconstruction of school buildings complete, payment still due

The reconstruction works of Kavre schools, which were damaged by the 2015 earthquake, have reached the final stage. More than 90 per cent of schools of the district have completed the reconstruction works of late. However, 41 schools who carried out the construction of their buildings from school development committees have complained that they have not received the payment yet. Bikash Lama, Chairman of Chakreshwar Secondary School management committee in Bethanchowk Rural Municipality-1, said that the government had not reimbursed the expenses incurred during the construction of the school building.
