Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel has said that the government has given high priority to the construction of dust and mud-free road infrastructure.
Addressing a program held in Kathmandu on Wednesday, he insisted that the government is not only envisioning dust and mud-free roads in terms of road infrastructure, but that the government is working to make it practical.
Deputy Prime Minister Paudel said, 'We will upgrade it. From Kakadbhita in Jhapa to Kanchanpur we upgrade the road. Work is starting at various places. We are constructing Hulaki Road, the long awaited road. We build Madhyapahari Lokmarg, Pushpalal Lokmarg. We will develop that public road not only of average level, but as a road that is really important from the point of view of developing the transport of Madhyapahar. Our focus has also been on urban infrastructure.'
He also said that the government is emphasizing on quality road construction. He informed that the government is upgrading the roads of East-West highway and the work of Madhyapahari public road is also going on. He said that the government is also working on revising policies where necessary.
He asked to emphasize on effective implementation as well as the suggestions given in budget formulation. He said that there has been a positive improvement in all the indicators of the economy lately.
He said, 'Under the urban infrastructure, we will build dust and mud-free roads in the city. There was a time when, after going out on the road, it was either dusty or muddy. It was a situation where Nepalese could not see in their yard that there is a road without dust, a road without mud. Now we are not only envisioning dust-free and mud-free roads in terms of road infrastructure, we are making it practical.
Deputy Prime Minister Paudel said that road infrastructure is a matter of priority for the government. He said that within three years, the government will build an international level exhibition venue at Bhrikutimandap with high priority. He said that by demolishing the structures in the area west of Tukucha, it will become a state-of-the-art, organized and attractive exhibition venue.
