Nepal Oil Corporation's Far Western Regional Office, fuel depot at Dhangadhi is now to be shifted. From the point of view of security, the fuel depot, which is a high risk, is about to be transferred to Kailali. The Dhangadhi depot built in 2037 for 4 vehicles is now operating outside the safety standards.
Dhangadhi Depot operating on 1 Bigha 8 Kattha is beyond the safety standards due to its area. The corporation said that it is inevitable to transfer the depot to other places as the houses of common people are also connected with the depot.
The depot of Dhangadhi is operating beyond the safety standards. There is no doubt that the depot should be moved. This has been discussed for 5/7 years," Pradeep Kumar Yadav, head of storage capacity enhancement project, said at a press conference held on Wednesday at Sinamangal Air Fuel Depot in Kathmandu, "After many efforts, land has been found in Godavari municipality of Kailali.
9 distant districts should be paid.' After complaints from the common people about the risk from the depot located in Dhangadhi, the corporation asked for 22 bighas of the 74 bighas of land in the name of the National Housing Company located in Punarwas 3 and 6 of Kanchanpur district. But due to the land dispute between the municipality and the company, there is no condition to build it. After that, the corporation found the land of Attaria in Kailali suitable among various places.
The depot to be built in Dhangadhi mainly supplies to 9 districts, and they had to look for land for the depot. It had to be kept away from the border. After looking at all the areas, Attaria in Kailali was the best," said Yadav, "Purchase is done according to the Land Acquisition Act." In the present depot, the depot was built with a view to a maximum of 4 vehicles per day.
The depot built in the year 2037 is in 1 bigha 8 kattha. The capacity of this depot is only 2,890 kiloliters. Of this, petrol 830 kiloliters, diesel 1590 kiloliters, kerosene 70 kiloliters and water tank 400 kiloliters capacity. Now the demand is increasing. There is a slum around the depot.
The depot is next to a dense settlement. As it is not able to cope with the commercial demand, it is about to be shifted to Attaria in Kailali,' said Yadav. The land identified by the corporation to build a new depot is connected with East-West Highway located in Godavari Municipality-8 of Kailali. Since the depot has put the settlement at risk, the common people have been demanding to move the depot. Industry, Commerce and Supply Minister Damodar Bhandari has also instructed the Corporation to move the depot.
