It has been 16 years since the construction of Hulaki Highway started. But the project has not yet been completed. In some park areas, the dispute about the road layout has not been resolved. The postal highway directorate said that the budget problem to increase the speed of construction is the same.
The payment of the work done till February from the planning offices under Hulaki Highway has not yet been done . As a result, the project's complaint is that the speed of work could not be increased. Kuver Nepali, the project director of the Postal Highway Directorate, said that although 1 billion rupees were arranged by transferring money internally, the payment for the additional work could not be paid.
"The bill of 2.5 billion rupees for the work done till February has been prepared, but due to lack of money, the payment has not been made until today," he said, "so there is confusion as to how much work will be done and how much budget will be received until June of the current year."

'There is a situation where the construction businessmen cannot work because there is no money, businessmen seem to have lost faith in the project,' said an engineer of the project, 'Until 3 years ago, our bid was being sold, businessmen were told to work, money is not a problem, now that is not the case.' This year, 1 billion 50 million resources were approved, but it was not enough.
"It's been 16 years since the project started, but the drawing of the park area has not been finalized yet," said the engineer, "When the government is late even in the policy decision that needs to be made immediately, the effect is affecting the entire project." In some cases, work is delayed due to court cases.
Its construction has been started from the year 066/67 to connect the district headquarters of Terai East-West. So far the progress is only 71 percent . According to the concept of connecting the land from Kechnakaval in Jhapa to Dodhara Chandni in Kanchanpur in the west, its construction process has been started. Its construction has been started to benefit about one crore people of 21 districts of Terai-Madhesh.

The government has allocated a budget of only 3 billion 38 million rupees for this project in the current financial year. Only 3.5 billion rupees ceiling has been given for the coming year, but according to the current work, 5 billion rupees are required for the project.
The goal of the project is to build 75 km of roads and 10 bridges in the current year. But the project claims that the budget is becoming an obstacle to achieve the goal. "If the old bill could be paid by February, most of the current contracts would have been completed by the year 083/84," Nepali, the project director of the Postal Highway Directorate, said, "The payment problem is adding to the problem in the project."
'It will be November if we get the consent of the source,' he said, 'This is a situation where the contract process itself is broken, it should be mentioned in the budget that contracts of up to this amount can be made for projects of national pride. He said that 19 bridges are currently under contract.
Now according to road department sources, there is competition between various parties to travel the postal, Madhyapahari highway . An engineer of the department said that despite traveling in this way, there is no initiative on what kind of problems have been encountered to complete the project on time and how it can be solved.
"Now, whichever party is traveling the highway, tomorrow it is the same party who will be the finance minister and the physical minister," said the engineer. The engineer says that it is necessary to go.
