Following the agreement between the ruling alliance and the main opposition Nepali Congress, Parliament today resumed discussion on the budget announced a couple of weeks ago. Both the parties agreed to release a sum of more than NRs 200,000 aid to the earthquake survivors. He told the House that the Nepal Reconstruction Authority (NRA) started work soon after the required act was formulated. But those who have already collected Rs 50,000 as first instalment would get Rs 100,000 immediately. Responding to Nepali Congress's demand to provide NRs 2,00,000 in one instalment to quake survivors to build their houses, Oli said that it was not possible.
