The folks of earthquake-hit Laprak VDC in Gorkha have rebuilt the devastated village on their own as the state-sponsored post-quake reconstruction and rebuild initiative are yet to be rolled out in full swing.Locals of Laprak – the epicentre of April 25 Earthquake – have constructed new buildings to get saved from the rainy season by seeking loans and mutual support from neighbours. They did not wait for the relief and grants supposed to be provided by the government and donor agency.The disaster-hit community rebuilt their houses with the materials of their quake-devastated structures, pebbles and clay. The locals, who had been languished in temporary shelters of Guptipakha came up with preparation to go back to survive their lives in the old village in coming rainy season. They were in dire need of house to cultivate and harvest seasonal crops.The quake-affected locals, who refused to use zinc-corrugated sheets provided by government to build makeshift huts, have used wooden materials in the roof.
