Early warning system (siren) installed in Melamchi area tested

SINDHUPALCHOK: A test was carried out to know the status of early warning system (siren) installed in the natural disaster-prone Melamchi area. In order to put precautionary measures to check possible risks during the monsoon season, test was undertaken on the status of the siren installed in Talamarang, Melamchi Bazaar and Bahunepati Bazaar last year. Environment Officer at Melamchi Municipality, Sujan Dulal, said, "It will help mitigate potential risks of disaster during the monsoon season and reduce the loss of lives and properties". It may be noted that Melamchi had installed the siren-enabled early warning system on its own investment following the devastating floods and landslides last year. The system was put in place with the technical assistance of Ram Laxman Innovation. By RSS READ ALSO:
