ROAD TO RECOVERY - Nepal's PM speeds up rebuilding
Kathmandu - Nepal's new prime minister promised to speed up reconstruction after a devastating earthquake and said he would increase aid for homeless victims as he laid out his government's priorities, authorities reported on September 9.
The previous administration had been heavily criticised for the slow pace of rebuilding, with reconstruction funds largely untouched over a year after the April 2015 disaster.
Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who took over as prime minister in August, said his government would increase the compensation for those who lost their homes in the quake. - AFP
