DHADING: People displaced even till five weeks of the massive earthquake on April 25 were provided a bundle of corrugated zinc plates to build temporary shelters in Marsyangchhap of Dhading.

Diyo Nepal Foundation (DNF) and Pure Nepal Trekking and Expedition (PNTE) jointly provided the sheets to 75 families in Marshyanchhap and Dambardanda settlements in ward 7 of Nilakantha Municipality.

Along with the sheets, the organisations also distributed a mosquito net to each of the family.

Shivahari Sapkota, a tourism entrepreneur working actively to develop homestay services in Dambardanda reached the village on Friday and distributed the sheets and nets to the locals.

A local Sanu BK, at the distribution function, stated that they were staying in tents after their houses were destroyed by the quake. But now they will stay under the new shelters with zinc plates, he added.

Sapkota, founder of DNF and PNTE, distributed the relief on the basis of the data he collected after coordinating with the locals.
