On the occasion, Bhaktapur municipality Mayor Sunil Prajapati said the users committee should be entrusted with the responsibility for heritage reconstruction for quality assurance and ownership of people. Some of the earthquake-ravaged heritages have already been reconstructed and some others are under the rebuild process.
