The lawmakers, who are also in the Legislation Committee of Legislature-Parliament, pressed for immediate relief and reconstruction for the most-quake hit places.

Parliamentarian Nabindra Raj Joshi said that the lawmakers demanded the government to provide relief materials as pledged by the government.

They urged for the same citing that the winter has already set in and those quake-displaced people could be badly affected by the cold if relief materials did not reach them beforehand.

The parliamentarians also recommended the government to pass the National Reconstruction Authority Bill from the Legislature-Parliament to expedite the reconstruction task.
