The Gaighat-Diktel road (Sagarmatha Lokmarg), which was stalled after construction started 30 years ago, has been resumed. After various construction companies got stuck with the contract, it has reached the stage of breaking it and starting the work through a new contract.

Gaighat-Diktel project information officer Subas Tiwari said that although the work was started through the contract by dividing it into different packages, after it got stuck, the work was broken and the work was increased through a new contract. The contract was terminated after the construction work of Diyale-Foxingtar road section (32 km) in Udaipur, Foxingtar-Simpani (26 km), Simpani-Mahure (22 km) and Foxingtar-Simpani road section in Khotang was stalled.

"The contract for the Foxingtar-Simpani road section was awarded by Divyajyoti Construction Pvt Ltd Dhading but the contract has not been signed," said Tiwari. 

Khampachi JV of Devnarayan Mainachulinas had taken the contract to complete by July 10, 2077, but the contract was terminated in August 2079 after the Foxingtar-Simpani road in Khotang was blocked. At a cost of around 49 crores, the agreement was signed on 11th July 2073, and the physical progress of the road is 62% and the financial progress is 60.3%. After the complaint filed by the construction company in the Patan High Court against the decision to terminate the contract, the High Court again upheld the department's decision in October 2080. 

Mainachuli-Siddhisayi-Prakash JV, which had taken the contract for the construction of Foxingtar-Simpani road section, was also terminated after the work was stalled. Although the work was started on July 11, 2073 with an agreement to be completed by July 10, 2077 at a cost of around 11 crores, only 80 percent physical and financial progress has been seen. That contract was also broken in August 2079. In addition, the decision of the department was upheld in the complaint filed by the construction company in the High Court at Patan for an interim order against the decision to break the contract.
