who is funding the flood relief?

Flood relief efforts are being funded through a mix of government allocations, local bodies, political contributions, and international aid options. The Nepal government has rolled out economic recovery packages, while local governments—such as Bhaktapur Municipality, which contributed over Rs 75.7 lakh to the Prime Minister Relief Fund—are actively chipping in. Political parties and lawmakers have also pledged millions, including donating 15 days of their salaries. Additionally, with total damages estimated to exceed Rs 400 billion, officials are weighing external grants against soft loans. Despite these inflows and over Rs 11.05 billion collected in state relief funds, distribution delays remain an issue on the ground.
