A bridge was built in Narayani, the saksa of the Sustavasi was removed

After the bridge was built, the local residents of Susta Rural Municipality-5, Sustagaon in West Nawalparasi were happy. Earlier, to go to Susta, one had to take a dangerous journey by boat. Similarly, the Indian border crossing through the Indian territory had to be under the strict surveillance of the SSB.

After the construction of a bridge on the Narayani river, it has become easier for the residents of Susta to travel. The situation where the locals of Susta, who are in the grip of Indian encroachment, have to fight with the Indians to protect their land and rely on India for general work has come to an end after the construction of the bridge.

The construction of the bridge started in October 2072. The bridge, which was supposed to be completed in December 2075, was built only after 6 years. The construction of the bridge has been delayed due to the contractor company's frequent suspension of work and lack of communication. Local Ravindra Jaiswal said that the residents of Susta were happy to be connected through the suspension bridge.

Building a bridge on the Narayani River is a great achievement for the residents of Susta. The need to rely on foreigners to go to one's own land is gone," Jaiswal said. "This bridge has directly connected its citizens with the state for Susta and the country, which is in the grip of encroachment." With the construction of the

bridge, domestic tourism in Susta will also increase, said local Vrijendra Yadav. People have started coming from far and wide to visit Susta. There is a crowd of tiktok makers on the bridge,' he said.

Teknarayan Upadhyay, president of Susta rural municipality, said that plans are being made to develop Susta village as a tourist area and to operate a homestay.

Trishuli Ashra JV Construction Company has constructed the bridge at a cost of 29 million rupees after 9 years.
