- Address wildlife-related issues: The letter highlights the need for measures to prevent crop damage by wildlife and calls for immediate compensation for the loss of life and property in areas like the Banke-Bardia National Park.
Relief and Reconstruction for Disaster Victims
With Nepal’s vulnerability to natural disasters, Ghimire’s letter also focuses on the need for a swift and effective response to recent calamities. He has requested the government to:
- Provide immediate relief and support: This includes offering relief packages, safe accommodation, and reconstruction of damaged structures for those affected by floods and landslides.
- Restore critical infrastructure: The letter specifically points to the need for urgent repair of blocked roads, particularly the Daunne section of the Butwal-Narayanghat road, to restore smooth transportation.
Advocating for Global Peace
Beyond domestic issues, the letter extends its scope to international relations, expressing concern over ongoing conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars. Ghimire urges the Nepalese government to take a proactive role in promoting peace and justice by encouraging the global community to unite and work towards resolving these conflicts.
In his concluding remarks, Ghimire expresses confidence that the government will address these demands with priority and take immediate steps to provide relief to the general public.
