In Gorkha Municipality-10 Chhewetar, the facility-equipped senior citizen housing building has not been used for a long time. About seven months after the construction of the building, there is confusion about the ownership and process of operation.

The residential building is planned to be used for an old age home. According to the government's plan to build a facility-equipped old age home building in each state, a state-level facility-equipped building has been constructed in Chhewetar at a cost of 4 crores. Head of Infrastructure Development Office Ganesh Subedi said that although the contract was signed on August 1, 2076, the construction could be completed within two years. 

The construction of the building was undertaken by Ashish Eco JV. "Due to the delay of the contractor, the construction of the building was delayed, we have completed the work this year after repeatedly warning the contractor," he said. The office said that after the construction was not completed in August 2078, the deadline was extended three times and the work was completed last October. "At that time, the Urban Development and Building Office contracted the work and proceeded, later the work was transferred to the Infrastructure Development Office," he said. 

According to the office, there are three separate buildings of security guard, administrative and main residence. The residential building has a structure that can accommodate up to 32 elderly people. The building has been constructed on 3 ropani land near Daraundi river at Thutebazar of Chewetar. Although the construction of the building has been completed, there is confusion in the handover. "The structure made by the province remains under the province," said Subedi, "the administration is under discussion whether the province will do it or hand it over to the local government." "We have repeatedly said that the building work should be completed on time, even if it is late, the building has been built, we have demanded that it should be put to use after the government's investment," said Ward President Pradeep Kunwar. We have asked to use it as soon as possible.'  AC is also installed in some rooms of the

building. The 200 meter road leading to the building is paved and sloped. After the painting, the building looks attractive. A watcher has been assigned to look after the building. "There is a building in a secluded place, if there are no people to watch it, it will be stranded. The security of the building has also added a challenge," he said.
