Minister Lamsal Inspects Nagdhunga-Mugling Road Section Amidst Construction Delays

Kathmandu. Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport, Sunil Lamsal, has conducted an on-site inspection of the Nagdhunga-Mugling road section. Minister Lamsal went on an inspection to gain direct information about various obstacles and delays seen in the construction work of this road section in recent times.

Due to the increasing conflict in West Asia, problems have arisen in the import of bitumen and other petroleum products, and this has directly affected the construction work of the Nagdhunga-Mugling road. Not only this road section but also the construction work of various road projects across the country has slowed down or stopped due to the lack of fuel and bitumen. In addition to international circumstances, local obstructions and the lack of easy availability of construction materials such as stones, gravel, and sand have also become major reasons for the work stoppage. Although construction entrepreneurs have been informing the government about these problems from time to time, complaints about the lack of sufficient interest from the state side have been increasing.

Taking the complaints of construction entrepreneurs and the slowdown in projects seriously, Minister Lamsal has shown initiative by personally monitoring the situation to solve the problems. During the inspection, the minister also held discussions with stakeholders about the challenges faced in speeding up the construction work and the measures for their resolution.
