Kathmandu, March 6: Most of the members of the National Assembly have drawn the government’s attention to build bridges in ‘fast track’.
During the zero hour in today’s NA meeting, Ghanashyam Rijal narrated that travelers were making a perilous journey in absence of bridge over Sunkoshi River and Tamakoshi River along the Lamo-Sankhu road.
According to him, the bridge over these rivers were built some four decades ago and now are in dilapidated condition. A new contract agreement was signed in 2073 BS to build new bridges in place of the old ones.
Rijal said, “Construction of bridge has begun partially over Tamakoshi River while construction work has not begun yet over Sunkoshi river although it has already been eight years since the agreement was signed. There is a high risk of road accident due to delay in construction of bridge. I, thus, would like to draw the attention of the government towards accelerating the bridge construction work.”
Similarly, Bishnu Bahadur Bishwokarma pressed for earliest construction of a bridge linking Mahabai rural municipality of Kalikot district. Expressing his discontent over the repeated missed deadlines for construction of bridge since contract was awarded in fiscal year 2077/78 BS, he urged the government to blacklist the construction company and speed up the construction process.

She also asked the government to pay compensation to the victim’s family.Rukmini Koirala viewed that the government should mull how to shape the country’s demography, arguing that population and development are interconnected.
Krishna Bahadur Rokaya said that two airports in Rukum (West)- Salle Airport and Chaujahari Airport-should be brought into regular operation. He reminded that the flights to and from these airports have been stalled since December 17 last year.#nepal #political #rss
