What you should know
Work on the under-construction 'mini stadium' in Chautara Sangachokgadhi Municipality, the district headquarters, has resumed.
The project, which had been stalled for a year, has been reactivated after the 14th amendment to the Public Procurement Regulations provided a 'special provision'. The stadium, which was stalled after the contractor stopped work when the government stopped payment, has now been moved forward with a third extension.
The project, which was started through Giri JV Construction with an initial agreement in 2076 BS, could not be completed even after the deadline was extended twice after progress was not seen within the stipulated time. Finally, the JV partners Limbu-Sunkoshi took over the responsibility through an internal agreement.
'Local sports enthusiasts, who have been tired of watching the stadium under construction for years, are considering the current pace as a sign of hope,' said local leader Rabindra Shrestha. He said that the players are excited that a state-level competition can be held in Chautara if the work is completed on time.
Spectator hall almost complete, interior work in full swing
The outer structure of the parapet, which will have a capacity of 6,000 spectators, is almost ready. Currently, interior painting, room construction and electrical installation are progressing simultaneously. With about 80 workers deployed at the construction site daily, the slowdown in work is being eliminated.
The work on this project, which costs a total of 416.27 million rupees, remained incomplete despite repeated extensions. Now, the Social Development Office has set the final deadline as mid-Ashar 2083. Major structures such as the field, lights, and parking are still pending.
The government's withholding of about 30 million rupees for work completed last year has become a major challenge for the contractor company. The construction side says that the lack of payment has increased problems in managing the necessary manpower and materials.
