The Ministry of Finance has approved resources worth about 2 billion to build the concrete bridge that was damaged by the flood last October. As the flood washed away the concrete bridge connecting different districts, a resource agreement of 1 billion 90 million 10 million rupees was obtained to build it permanently.

Lalijan Khanal, head of the bridge division under the road department, said that after getting the consent of the source, the purchase master plan of the bridges was requested. "Before the rains, we can complete all the contract procedures to be done according to the procurement act and regulations," he said, "after that we will start construction." "Even though the Beilibridge has been placed, the old obligation remains," he said, "Accordingly, we have asked for resource consent." 

According to the bridge division, only 262.1 million rupees have been demanded for the current financial year. According to the data provided by the road department, 35 million rupees have been requested for the construction of a permanent bridge at Foxingtar on the Sunkoshi river and 2 million rupees for the Bely Bridge. Similarly, resource consent of Rs 25 and Rs 10 crore has been made available for the construction of Larcha and Leaping bridges in Sindhupalchok respectively. jealous 

5 million for Beilibridge on the river and 25 million rupees for permanent construction have been requested. 

Similarly, a resource agreement of 18 million rupees and 6 million rupees for the bailibridge has been received for the construction of a permanent bridge on the Bagua river connecting Lalitpur and Makwanpur under the Kanti highway. Arjun Prasad Aryal, Deputy Director General and Spokesperson of the Road Department said that some bridges will be removed during the drought and only some will be kept.

"We will remove the belibridges installed in Foxingtar and Bagua during the rainy season," he said, "Other places will remain operational."

'The contract process should be carried out according to the design and build of some bridges, this is done by the company that takes the contract from the design to the construction of the bridge,' he said, 'We have prepared the guidelines related to the design and build of the bridge and sent them to the Cabinet, price adjustments are also mentioned, we will not proceed with the contract process until the guidelines are approved.' "There is no bridge construction work in the rainy season," he said, "so we finish all the contract processes before the rainy season, there will be no problem in starting the construction after the rainy season."

The flood of October has also caused great damage to the road infrastructure. For bridges and roads, the Ministry of Finance has already approved resources worth 18 billion 882 million rupees. Accordingly, the road department claims to be able to manage all road contracts by mid-February.

The department said that the purchase master plan of all the roads has been requested for that. Aryal, Deputy Director General and Spokesperson of the department said that some road offices have already sent the master plan and some are in the process of coming. 

"Internally, we have asked all road projects to send the procurement master plan within a week," he said, "Then we will manage all the road contracts by the middle of February." The initial phase of the contract work has already started. BP Highway has suffered the most damage due to rain. The BP highway will be divided into different sections and contracted. 1 billion 88 million will be required for roads and bridges in the current financial year.
