Mahendranagar, May 16 (RSS): Minister for Industry, Commerce and
Supplies Dilendra Prasad Badu has said that construction of the dry port and
the industrial zone are high on the government's priorities.
Addressing a press conference
organized by the Ministry in Mahendranagar of Kanchanpur today, he asserted
that initiatives have been taken ahead for the construction of the proposed
Dodhara Chandani Dry Port at Kanchanpur and the Daiji Industrial Zone.
"Although proposed since long
back and also after laying the foundation stone, the budget had not been
managed for these two projects. These projects would be included in the budget
for the coming fiscal year," the Minister said.
Along with Minister Badu, former
ministers Ramesh Lekhak, Narayan Prakash Saud, and Industry Secretary Ganesh
Prasad Pandeya carried out onsite monitoring of the dry port and the Daiji
Industrial Zone.
Minister Badu stated that the dry
port construction was also India's priority, adding that it was a project
related to the importance of three-country trade among Nepal, India and
China.
"The country will take a leap
in the industrial sector on completion of these projects. 22 thousand people
will get employment once the Daiji Industrial Zone is constructed and comes
into operation," he said.
