Gandaki, March 16 : Two suspension bridges are to be constructed over the Khudi rivulet in Pokhara metropolis-32.
The bridges would be installed to
connect the eastern bank of Chautara (Purano Gaun) and Universe Chowk (Rajako
Chautari) and Barhasaya Chautara to Malmulghari from eastern bank in the same
ward.
In lack of bridge over the Khudi
rivulet for long, people have to spend over an hour to travel the 10-minute
road. The process of bridge construction had kindled local people's hope for
the development and prosperity of the area.
It would be easier for the
Gagangaunda folks to move to the office of their own ward 32, founder of Tole
Development Organization Mukunda Ghimire said.
There was a compulsion for the
folks of lower Gagangaunda area to walk around one hour to reach the ward
office.
Likewise, lower Gagangaunda, Raja
Chautara, Malmul and Deurali are considered the agriculture production. So, the
bridges are expected to promote local market of agro products.
Ghimire said that the bridge
construction was inevitable for the students of Gagangaunda area when the
Gandaki province government was about to start its educational programme at
Syaltarahara, the bridge construction site. (RSS)
