Simanchal Construction Company of India and Nepal Gauri Parpati/ Sunaula Khimti JV were meant to complete the work in October 2017.
Likewise, the contractors of the 30 km road section from Shahare Danda to Charikot have abandoned the work in the middle.
The locals were badly affected when the road widening works were not completed even two years after the contract term expired.
