CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli handed over temporary shelters to 18 flood-affected families in Piplatar, Nuwakot, on October 14, 2026. The temporary huts were built under the leadership of the party-affiliated labour organisation Jifnt and include toilets, electricity and water facilities. Oli praised party leaders and cadres for their work in constructing the shelters.
Shelters handed over in Piplatar
The handover provided temporary housing to 18 families affected by floods in the Nuwakot area. The shelters were constructed in Piplatar, where the families received the huts from Oli. Reports identified Jifnt, a labour organisation affiliated with the CPN-UML, as the group that led the construction effort.
The units are equipped with basic services, including toilets, electricity and water. These facilities distinguish the shelters from huts offering only a roof and living space, although reports did not provide further details about their design, size or construction materials. No information was reported about how long the families are expected to stay in the temporary housing or whether permanent homes are planned.
The project’s immediate stated purpose was to provide temporary accommodation for families affected by flooding. The handover brings together the construction effort led by Jifnt and the delivery of the completed shelters to the households. Reports named 18 recipient families but did not identify them individually or provide details about the extent of damage to their previous homes.
Oli praises party leaders and cadres
During the handover, Oli praised the party leaders and cadres who took part in building the shelters. His remarks acknowledged their role in completing the housing effort for the flood-affected families. Reports did not provide further details of his comments or describe additional commitments made at the event.
The shelters were constructed under the leadership of Jifnt, linking the labour organisation to the practical work of building temporary homes. The reported facilities - toilets, electricity and water - offer the recipient families access to essential services at the site. However, the reports did not specify how those services are supplied or whether every hut has separate connections.
What is known about the housing effort
The available details establish the location, the number of recipient families, the organisation that led construction and the facilities included in the huts. The handover took place in Piplatar, Nuwakot, and was carried out by CPN-UML chairman KP Sharma Oli. The temporary shelters were intended for families affected by floods.
Further information about the flood event, the timing of construction, the project’s cost and the families’ longer-term housing needs was not included in the reports. The handover nevertheless marked the delivery of temporary accommodation to 18 affected households, with party leaders and cadres recognised by Oli for helping build the shelters.
