KATHMANDU: Lawmakers speaking at the Legislature Parliament meeting on Tuesday demanded that the government take concrete measures to minimise the damages caused by floods and landslides in the country.

They made aware the government and the parliament that the landslides, flooding, downpour and scanty rainfall occurred in various districts including Saptari, Sindhupalchowk, Dhading and Kaski creating havoc among people.

Even the embankment created by India on border was inundating the bordering region in the southern plains.

The families affected should be compensated, they added.

The government was also urged to solve the problem of inundation in the border area by holding talks with India through the diplomatic channel.

NC's Mohan Bahadur Basnet, and Tejulal Chaudhari, CPN-UML's Krishna Bhakta Pokhrel, NWPP's Prem Bahadur Suwal and Dilli Bahadur Nepali voiced their concern about the issues.
