The condition of the Rajviraj Nagar area of ​​Saptari has become not only ugly but also polluted as the construction of roads and canals has come to a standstill. Even though Kancharam Construction took the contract in collaboration with various firms, the deadline has been extended five times.

Kancharam Construction, which took the contract for this construction, is the company of Purna Bahadur Tamang, Minister of State for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation of the Federal Government. This construction has stalled various road construction works undertaken with partners. 

Similarly, Kancharam Construction has not completed the two contracts for the Hulaki highway project from Itahari to Saptari area.

Construction, along with various partner companies, has undertaken the intensive urban project Rajviraj and Hulaki highway project in Saptari for 1 billion 94 crore 19 lakh 32 thousand 836 rupees 65 paise. The work is incomplete. It has been extended several times.

Construction jointly with various firms has taken two contracts worth Rs.

Even though 6 years have passed in both contracts and the deadline has been extended several times, more than 60 percent of material progress has not been made. Under the first package, JV Kathmandu signed a contract worth 39 crore 73 thousand 926 rupees 67 paisa under the first package for road black paper and upgrading in various wards of Rajviraj Municipality.

The construction company that got the mandate on January 16, 2074, has not been able to complete the work even though it is about to reach seven years . Tamang, who is now the state minister, signed this contract on behalf of Kancharam Construction.

For the first time, the project chief extended the deadline for the construction from 16th December 2077 to 15th June 2018. As the construction could not be completed even during the extended period, the deadline was extended for the second time from June 16, 2078 to March 25, 2078, and for the third time from March 26, 2078 to March 25, 2079.

The construction was not completed even within the deadline added for the third time . The head of department extended another deadline for 2079 Chait 26 to 2082 June 22 . Engineer Rajkumar Mishra informed that the physical progress of the work under this contract is 60 percent. So far, the company including construction has received payment of Rs.

Kancharam/Danfe JV Kathmandu got another contract for construction of roads and drains in various wards within Rajviraj municipality for 42 crore 36 lakh 12 thousand 429 rupees 98 paise. The construction company that got the mandate on the same day after signing the agreement on January 21, 2075, had to complete the work under this contract by July 21, 2077. But it has been five times more.

The department head extended the deadline from July 21, 2077 to December 5, 2077 after the work was not done within the stipulated period for the first time. Even during that period, the work could not be completed. After that, the project chief extended the deadline for the second time from December 6, 2077 to June 5, 2078, for the third time from June 6, 2078 to March 30, 2078, and for the fourth time from April 1, 2079 to March 30, 2079. As the work could not be completed within the fourth extended deadline, another deadline has been extended from May 1, 2080 to June 30, 2082.

In this contract, the construction company has received payment of 20 million 71 lakh 96 thousand 277 rupees 26 paise. Minister of State Tamang has signed the contract in both contracts.

Lately, the work has stalled after the work of both these contracts was stopped. The residents of Rajviraj are disturbed by the dust and traffic problems due to the digging of roads and drains at various places.

The construction company is delaying the completion of the work by repeatedly extending the deadline. An employee said that after Tamang, the owner of Kancharam Construction, became a minister in the federal government, now the project employees are afraid and stopped asking. "In the agency that takes action, the minister is the person who should be prosecuted, where to say? Who listens ?' said the employee .

Lately, the state minister Tamang has sent a letter to a person named Deepak Thing appointing the official person of this contract . In sending a letter to Raj Viraj on the intensive urban and building construction project on 1st March 2080, Tamang mentioned that Thing was his official person. Construction has not worked on these contracts for a year . "Sometimes they work at a slow speed for a few days, then stop again," said Engineer Mishra.

Ward President Jayanarayan Mandal, who is also the spokesperson of Rajviraj Municipality, said that the work of these two contracts could not be completed within the specified time. "We have to listen to people's abuse," he said. "The road has been left as it is, the municipal area has been made chaotic now because slabs have not been placed on the drain," he said. He says that they are tired of repeatedly talking about intensive urban and building construction projects.

The condition of the contract taken from the Hulaki project, along with the partner company, Construction has taken two contracts from the Hulaki highway project in Itahari to Saptari. Out of which the Kathuna-Pato road had to be constructed for 18 km. Even when the deadline is extended for the fourth time, it is incomplete .

According to Upendra Das, Engineer of Postal Highway Project, Itahari, on 4th June 2075, Kancharam/Bagamati/Dev & Sayer JV signed a contract for the construction of 18 km of Kathuna-Pato road section for 700 million 46 lakh 61 thousand .

But even though the deadline for extension for the fourth time expired on 26 January 2081, engineer Das said that the physical progress of this road is only 55 percent. He informed that the construction company has already received 40 percent payment.

Another contract with Hulaki Highway Project is the Rajviraj-Kunauli road . Compared to other contracts, the work in this contract is at the final stage. For the construction of this road of 12.76 kilometers, the construction company signed a contract for 41 crore 63 lakh 58 thousand 480 rupees on June 30, 2074.

When the contract starts, this road should be completed by 30th of January 2076 . But the work that should be completed by 29th January 2080 has been slightly stuck after the deadline has been extended 6 times. According to Engineer Das, the physical progress of Rajviraj-Kunauli road is 95 percent while the financial progress is 93 percent.
