Quite naturally, the authorities who overlook the development of Kathmandu Valley are also to blame for such a situation. They should not have allowed the construction of houses without basic needs such as roads and sewage outlets among others. Seeing the rapid growth still going on in the City, it can be expected that this problem will get worse in the days to come. Sadly, the situation seems no better in the Terai and hill areas too, though the problems there could be different. Poverty and lack of awareness have been aggravating the flood and landslide situations in such rural places.
Constant deforestation is responsible for many of the landslides and also floods.
The people should have been made aware that their own actions could be causing so much tragedy for them. As Monsoons are an yearly event, both the government and the people should be better prepared to deal with it. In a country like Nepal, a significant portion of the total GNP has to be spent as debt servicing. So, the debt-trap of the nation is expected to become worse in the near future, if the regular expenses of the government will remain disproportionate to the developmental expenditures. As, obviously, in order to run such a self perpetuating system of the governance, in the absence of any tangible reforms to mobilize the internal resources, a major chunk of the total national budget has to be borrowed from external sources.
