Bridge over Jhimruk river constructed

BY OUR CORRESPONDENT

Dang, Aug. 29: The construction works of the bridge over Jhimruk river on the road to Khalanga, the headquarters of Pyuthan district, has been completed, according to Road Division Office No. 2 in Ghorahi, Dang.

The construction of the bridge was started about two year ago. The completion of the construction works of the bridge now makes it possible to link Khalanga to Bijubar, the main commercial hub of the district.

Constructed at a cost of Rs. 50 million, the bridge has six pillars.

This is an important for a district where the development of roads has lagged behind. The demand for the bridge had been made from a long time but only in the fiscal year 1998/99 budgetary allocations were made for its construction.

Mukti Prasad Sharma, Nepali Congress district president and former MP, said that with the construction of the bridge besides the people of Khalanga, people of Maranthana, Tarebang, Tushara, Okharkot and Nati stand to benefit. He also elaborated that people of Arghakhanchi and Gulmi will also be facilitated.
