It is always difficult to cross the four kilometer road in Siddhartha area under the Palpa-Butwal road section of Siddharth highway in winter and rainy season. The pothole has not been filled for 10 years in the four kilometer area here.

Due to which small vehicles as well as passengers have to suffer all the time. It is foggy throughout the winter and foggy during the rainy season.

"Not only the small vehicles, but also the ambulance should always suffer," Rambha Rural Municipality-5, Tahun's Dr. Pujan Shrestha said, 'It is surprising to hear that so many kilometers of roads are blackened in half a day abroad. In our country, you cannot work even for half your life, moreover, the condition of four kilometers in Siddhababa area has been the same ever since.'

According to him, most of the problems happen to the ambulance driver and the patients inside. He said that the emergency light is on but the driver is unable to move quickly. 

It is more difficult for the patient sleeping inside the ambulance, he said that the driver has to drive carefully avoiding even small holes. When will that hole be completed? When will you get a better way?' Shrestha has vented his anger on social media, saying, "The mere fact that it has been blacklisted is like lifting a big mountain." In the middle of the day and at night, there is a possibility of a worse accident.

One person has died and six others have been injured in the last two months due to the slippery road and stones falling from the upper part. The problem of ice in rains and dust in winter is always present in this region. It has become common for drivers and passengers to suffer from potholes on the highway from Palpa Dobhan to Lower Siddhababa road section.

Khem Bahadur Rana, a motorcyclist from Palpa Rampur Municipality-2, said, "This road has been the same for 10 years, it has never been improved or improved." We always have to travel on potholed, muddy, dirty roads.

He said that due to the delay in the upgrading of this section, there is a danger of dust in winter and mud and landslides in rainy season. Small vehicles can't drive fast in potholes. But when the tipper digs at a high speed without the flow of potholes, more and more potholes have been created on the road. 

Tipper does not cause any flow of small vehicles. Ramchandra Adhikari of Galyang Municipality-5, who traveled from Syangja to Butwal on a motorcycle, said, "This four kilometer road has never been good for so many years. I don't know when the road will be built.

Passengers of small vehicles in this section were able to drive on good roads only 2065 years ago. The road has never been improved since the limestone industries opened in different places of Palpa and the overloaded tippers operating there started running. For the last 10 years, the road division has not done any upgradation work. The China State Construction Engineering Corporation, which has been working on the tunnel here for three years, has been ignoring the mud and dust on the road. 

Earlier, the contract work imposed by the road division was not completed for 9 years. As soon as it starts raining, the road gets flooded with mud. Due to the poor drainage, the water flowed on the road. According to Bishnu Prasad Pandey of Tinau rural municipality-3, Dobhan, they have to suffer even more by neglecting the construction of drains. Since there is no repair work here, there is no sign of potholes and black paper. From Dobhan to Lower Siddhababa, even the asphalt black sheet, which has been spent in crores, is nowhere to be seen. 

Asphalt did not last even 6 months. The slope is also cracked in places. For the last 5 years, the Chinese company China State Construction Engineering Corporation has taken over the three kilometer area. "The project will look after the construction of the tunnel," said Durga Gautam, Information Officer of Road Division Palpa, "We have filled potholes in our area." 

But Keshav Khatri, a local passenger, said that the area taken over by the Road Division, almost one kilometer from Dobhan Chowki, has become a mess with potholes and mud. Even though there was negligence in the working phase, the asphalt technology did not last long due to neglect by the road division. 

MPs, local residents, mediapersons and others warned during the asphalting process. Recently, due to the work of the tunnel, it has not been repaired. The road has become slippery due to potholes and landslides. One kilometer area from Dobhan is being worked by road division Palpa and remaining three kilometers by tunnel construction company China State Construction Engineering Corporation.

Landslides during the rainy season have caused landslides. In some places, construction companies have built culverts, which has created more mud. Local Tank Basyal said that when it rains, motorcycles and scooters slip and the danger of accidents increases. He said that the passengers traveling here have to endure winter and rain all the time. Citizens have been complaining that they have to suffer due to mudslides while traveling on foot or in vehicles, but nothing has been heard.

In the past, there have been many incidents of landslides and mudslides during the rainy season in Siddhababa area. There are many accidents from Dobhan to Headbox, Jharna, Siddhababa, Lower Siddhababa. 

During the rainy season, the area where the bus gets washed away, stones fall, and the motorcycle travel is uncomfortable, must be within these four kilometers. The Dobhan Police Station has informed that there is a problem of stone falls, landslides and landslides in the four kilometer area of ​​the highway from Dobhan to Chidiyakhola.

'There is a plan to make the road safe by using slope stabilization and rock barrier method in the risky area of ​​this area,' Krishnaraj Adhikari, head of the Siddhababa tunnel project, said, 'There may be some discomfort as it is a construction phase. Stones will be removed in the area of ​​possible accident and a strong wire mesh will be laid on the upper part of the mountain.' 

from which the landslide-prone area will serve as slope protection and rock barrier. He said that 1,495 meters of slope protection work has been done out of 2,300 meters on the south side of the tunnel area. On the north side, 495 out of 1100 works have been completed. MROne Mountain Side is only 481 out of 9620. 

MR2 mountain site out of 7440, 1414 swire meters have been worked, said the chief project officer. "Now we have focused on the main tunnel," he said, "that's why the work outside is not visible." But it is said that the passengers of this area would have reduced the risk outside during this rainy season. 

In the area where the slope protection works are being carried out, there is a risk of rock falls, landslides and accidents. Under the package of the project, there will be risk reduction work with modern technology on Chidiakhola-Siddhababa temple and the road from Mohoda north of the tunnel to Dobhan. 

The strong wire mesh is expected to be able to hold up to 5,000 kg of stones. Arrangements will be made to reduce the speed of large stones. According to the project, rock barrier and slope protection work will be done in Chidiakhola-Siddhababa temple and Dobhan section after the rains. An agreement was reached to complete the tunnel project in February 2078 within 5 years.
