Parliamentarians Demand Probe into Upper Tamakoshi Project Cost Overruns

Kathmandu. A demand has arisen for the formation of an investigation committee regarding the cost increase of Upper Tamakoshi. 

On Monday, during a meeting of the Finance Committee discussing the progress of national pride projects with the National Planning Commission, MPs made such a demand. 

National Independent Party MP Sushil Khadka stated that an investigation should be conducted into how the cost of Upper Tamakoshi, initially stated as 32 billion, reached up to 91 billion in the end. He believes this study could provide solutions to the problems of cost and time overruns in other projects. 

He also said that the reasons why irrigation projects built in the 40s (Bikram Sambat) remain as they are even now should be investigated.
