Following the deadly floods and landslides that have struck parts of Nepal, causing loss of life, widespread destruction and placing several communities at continuing risk, the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist), CPN-UML, has stressed that the state’s foremost responsibility is to protect the lives of citizens affected by the disaster.
At a Secretariat meeting held on Wednesday, the party called on the government to act immediately to safeguard those affected, intensify search and rescue operations for missing persons, relocate people living in high-risk areas and ensure prompt medical treatment for the injured.
