Reconstruction Efforts Progressing ​Rapidly After Earthquake

Reconstruction and rehabilitation ⁢efforts in the province are nearing completion,with 91.33% ‌of work finished – representing the rebuilding of nearly 24,000 homes – according to Mr. ‍Ighighi. He announced that all temporary tents erected ‌to house those displaced by the earthquake have now been dismantled.

The reconstruction rate is projected to reach 93% by the end of September and 96% within the following two months. Currently, only 4% of victims have not yet begun rebuilding. These remaining‌ cases involve either inheritance disputes or families⁤ who have declined to commence ⁤construction despite receiving initial state financial aid.Authorities have issued formal requests for work to​ begin and are pursuing legal avenues where necessary.

Mr. Ighighi ⁣highlighted the complexity ‌of the ‌initial phases – including rescue operations, victim census, clearing over 23,500 collapsed structures, and issuing ‌building permits – due to the province’s challenging terrain. these tasks required‌ specialized equipment, heavy machinery, and notable manpower, particularly given the arduous access to many affected areas.

He praised the strong collaboration between local authorities, engineers,‌ contractors, and local associations, which has been⁤ instrumental in achieving these positive results.

Beneficiaries who have‍ moved into their new homes expressed relief and optimism about resuming⁤ their lives and livelihoods. Building permits were granted based on rigorous criteria,overseen by architects and specialized design offices,adhering to both scientific and technical standards while respecting the region’s unique architectural and cultural heritage.
