The NRA has warned that it will take action against the fake beneficiaries if they are reluctant to return back the amount.</p> <p>Those victims whose houses were completely destroyed by the magnitude 7.8 earthquake but have houses elsewhere are not eligible for the housing grant. Similarly, those who have received grants from multiple organisations, whose houses need only repairing but have sought grant for full damage are not considered as genuine quake victims by the government.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-10-23', 'modified' => '2018-10-23', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '9102', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2018-10-23 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '20' ) ), (int) 1 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '9322', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'SC Quashes Government Decision to Recognise Fastest Ascent of Everest', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 23: The Supreme Court has issued an order to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation to register new records related to mountaineering only after following the due processes as per the existing legal provisions.', 'content' => '<p>October 23: The Supreme Court has issued an order to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation to register new records related to mountaineering only after following the due processes as per the existing legal provisions.</p> <p>The apex court order has also directed the ministry to publicise the records only after properly verifying if the claims fulfill all the legal criteria.</p> <p>The order was issued by a division bench of justices Cholendra SJB Rana and Dambar Bahadur Shahi.
