The government on Monday formed a committee to address the demands put forth by various expedition and guide associations in the wake of Friday's fatal avalanche in the Everest Base Camp which claimed lives of 16 high-altitude mountain guides and injured nine others.
Various associations had on Sunday demanded establishment of mountaineers' welfare trust, increasing insurance premium of climbers, ensuring education for the victim's children, among others. They had given a seven-day ultimatum to the government to address the same.
The committee headed by Madhu Sudan Burlakoti, Chief of Industry Division of the Tourism Ministry, comprises representatives from Nepal Mountaineering Association, Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal, Expedition Operators Association, Nepal National Mountain Guide Association, Himalayan Rescue Association, among others.
The committee after discussing on the demands will submit its report to the government on Tuesday. Necessary action regarding the matter will be taken once the committee submits its report, according to the Tourism Ministry's press statement issued today.
