CPN-UML General Secretary Shankar Pokharel Highlights Lack of Coordination in Disaster Areas
Summary
CPN-UML General Secretary Shankar Pokharel says poor coordination among security agencies, local representatives and government bodies is hampering rescue and relief in disaster-hit areas. He has urged the immediate formation of an integrated command post and other alternative measures to speed up rehabilitation.
Key Points
- Shankar Pokharel said coordination gaps among security personnel, people's representatives and government mechanisms are evident in disaster-stricken areas.
