PM Oli commits to broader development, inaugurates Gwarko flyover

Lalitpur, June 20: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said the newly built Gwarko flyover would resolve the nagging problem of traffic jam at Gwarko and vicinity.     

Inaugurating the flyover at Gwarko amidst a programme organized by the Ministry of Physical Infrastructures and Transport, PM Oli made commitment to forward the holistic and multi-dimensional development of the country.     

The over pass was built by the Ministry. It is the first of its kind in Nepal. The infrastructure was constructed by Ashish Samanantar Religar JV in the framework of engineering procurement construction (EPC). It cost Rs 170.6 million.     

The overpass has 500-meter approach road. The initiative aimed at wiping out traffic congestion at Gwarko Chowk was launched four years back.     

"We've been working untiringly for development. Just yesterday, it was found that Dailekh had a deposit of methane gas sufficing for Nepal for 50 years. Among three such places identified for exploration and excavation, such potential was found from the one alone," he explained, adding that once the iron production begins from Dhaubadi, it will boost country's economy.     

With the exploration of mines, modernization of agriculture will also be forwarded. Establishment of new industries and social and administrative reform were equally prioritized, according to the PM.     

Moreover, the PM argued the Sunkoshi-Marin diversion and postal highway would not only bring a sweeping change in Tarai but also across the country. Other infrastructures like Madan Bhandari Highway and Pushpalal Highway were also gaining pace, he said.(RSS)
