Congress Leader Inspects Tamor Corridor Bridge Construction, Expresses Dissatisfaction

Kathmandu. The leader of the parliamentary party of the main opposition party Nepali Congress, Bhishma Raj Angdembe, has inspected the under-construction bridges along the Tamor Corridor road section.

During the inspection, he expressed dissatisfaction with the construction company, stating that the bridge construction work is progressing at an extremely slow pace even though the road has been blacktopped. Mentioning that the problem of obstruction of vehicular traffic due to floods during the monsoon season has been recurring, he instructed to speed up the work. Leader Angdembe said, "I will take initiative for the budget, but the work here must be completed quickly."

The Tamor Corridor, known as an important route connecting the eastern hills with the Terai, is considered a 'lifeline road'. However, due to the delay in the construction of bridges over rivers such as Lakhua, Nawakhola, Raghuwa, and Chharuwa, vehicular movement has been affected every year during the monsoon season. Locals complain that the risks of vehicles getting washed away or submerged increase when the water level in the rivers rises.

Showing seriousness towards the problems faced by the public for years, leader Angdembe has warned the representatives of the company responsible for bridge construction not to delay the work. He also expressed commitment to take initiative for the necessary budget management.
