Dharahara can be climbed after 9 years of the earthquake

From 10:30 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon, the general public will be able to climb the tower. For that, booking can be done by going to the website Dharahara.gov.dtnp prepared by the Urban Development and Building Department. Due to some technical issues, bookings are not open on the website for now. The department said that this problem will be solved in a few days. Koshnath Adhikari, deputy director general of the department, said that since the app for

is not yet ready for separate booking, this facility will be provided through the website itself. You have to book the day before to climb the Dharahara. "There is a technical problem for booking from the website," he said. While booking online, a QR code will be generated and after showing it at the gate of the tower, you will be able to climb.

Maniram Gelal, secretary of the Ministry of Urban Development, said that Dharahara has been temporarily opened. "After a long time, there may be some shortcomings while operating the Dharahara," he said. Now only 600 people will be allowed to climb the Dharahara per day, in which 500 people who book online will be allowed to climb the Dharahara. It is said that the pass will be provided to the disabled and senior citizens who are unable to book. This facility will be available only for 100 people in a day. In

family, up to four people including mother-father, son-daughter can book online at the same time. There will be a one hour lunch break out of the 6 hours that the Dharahara will operate. Arrangements have been made for 500 people to climb the tower at the rate of 100-100 in the remaining five hours. "It is going to be seen as a test, what will be the reaction, what will be the number of passengers, then if necessary we can make arrangements to go up to 1000 in one day," Gelal said, "We will improve it based on operational experience."

'People have a great desire to climb Dharahara,' Secretary Gelal said, 'It is not always possible to do it for free, there is an arrangement to operate it later.' Information has been taken. "Currently, arrangements have been made to climb the tower temporarily," Minister Singh said, "so we have arranged for free climbing, and after the procedures are made, we will organize its operation accordingly."

The Ministry prepared a new procedure for the operation of Dharahara and sent it to the relevant ministries for their opinion. The Ministry has made a procedure to lease the private sector for a fixed period in the future. For that, it is said that the company will be selected through open competition. Procedures related to Dharahara operations were prepared and sent to the Ministry of Finance. Gelal said that after obtaining consent from Artha, it was sent to the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs for an opinion. "After receiving the opinion from the Ministry of Law, we send it to the Council of Ministers," Gelal said. Thereafter, until further arrangements are made, it will be operated by the Executive Director of the International Conference Centre, New Baneshwar. Although it was inaugurated, it could not be put into operation due to the completion of the construction. There are two elevators in the

tower. One elevator can fit up to 10 people. He said that water fountains will be operated around Dharahara. Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Limited (KUKL) has provided water to Dharahara area. Gelal said that the Nepal Electricity Authority has placed a dedicated feeder for electricity. The Ministry of Home Affairs is providing 24-hour police and the necessary staff is being managed by the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration.
