The Economic Survey 2082/83 states that 34 kilometers of blacktop roads have been constructed in the decade and a half since the construction of the new city project began.
Its construction was started by selecting 10 cities connected by the Pushpalal (Mid-Hill) Highway. Now the number of cities has been increased to 54.
The construction of such roads has not gained momentum due to lack of budget. 51 km of roads have been paved till Falgun 2082. According to the Economic Survey made public on Wednesday, 168 kilometers of sewers and drains have been constructed.
In 2067/68, the construction of new cities was started by selecting two cities from each development zone. Initially, the government estimated that it would take 3.5 trillion rupees to build 10 cities in 20 years. So far, 8.29 billion rupees have been spent on 10 cities. Initially, there were 10 cities along the Mid-Hill Highway: Phidim (Panchathar), Basantapur (Tehrathum), Khurkot (Sindhuli), Baireni-Galchhi (Dhading), Dumre-Bhansar (Tanahun), Burtibang (Baglung), Chaurjahari (Rukum), Rakam-Karnali (Dailekh), Sanfebagar (Achham), Patan (Baitadi). Two cities on the same route, Bheriganga (Surkhet) and Bhingri (Pyuthan), have been added.
The New City Project Coordination Office has stated that work is being focused on 12 of the 54. The project office is currently focused on these cities.
