Kathmandu, Dec 24: Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport Kul Man Ghising stated that a significant stride has been made ranging from reconstruction of infrastructures damaged during Gen-Z revolt to improvement of strategic road, tunnels and transport services in the past 100 days.
Organizing a press meet here today to make public the works accomplished in his first 100 days, Minister Ghising asserted that THE interim government has taken a stringent action against the tendency to hold the development projects hostage.
Ghising further mentioned that the government will no longer tolerate delays, negligence and excuses when it comes to revitalize the stalled projects.
Sick or stranded projects have been scrapped and a new bidding process has already begun to give an impetus to them, informed the Minister.
He divulged, “About 40 problematic contracts worth around Rs 3 billion-including the long stalled Kankai Bridge in Jhapa, have been terminated, with around 150 more in the process.”
Key achievements during his first 100 days include construction and expansion of roads, construction of bridges, tunnel works at Siddha Baba tunnel and Nagdhunga tunnel, reconstruction of damaged infrastructures, transport service reforms and progress on railways and smart driving license, he added.
During this period, eight km of four-lane roads have been built with 160 km of two-lane road have been blacktopped and 10 bridges have been constructed, he mentioned.
Ghising claimed that the 100 days mark is only the beginning, with more reforms planned ahead.#nepal #rss
