Jantedhunga tourism development work stalled

NRK-Swami Narayan, Mohan and Besi JV had agreed on 30th of June 2078 that 60 percent of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and 40 percent of the rural municipality would be completed within two years at a cost of about 30 million rupees. But only 20 percent of the work has been completed, said Arun Sah, engineer of Jantedhunga Rural Municipality.

Sah said that the construction company took 46 lakh rupees as advance payment. "Peshki has been paid 4.6 lakhs," he said, "so far 20 percent material progress has been made, and it is estimated that it will be 4.6 lakhs." . But Vice President Khadka said that there was no work. "Last time, the deadline was extended to Baisakh so that it could be done within June, the work has not been done yet," said Khadka, "The running bill has also been submitted, but the payment has not been made."

According to Khadka, the work has stopped because the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has not sent the budget for the financial year 2079/80. In the financial year 2080/81, despite sending a budget of 37 million rupees, the construction company was stuck because it did not work. Joseph Rizal, who is associated with the construction, said that even though the contract was awarded, the work could not be done because the budget was not available.

'We have not received the amount for the work done before,' said Rizal, 'an application for payment has been submitted after the submission and evaluation of the work.' Aruna Devi Rai said. "It should have been taken earlier, but I don't know why it wasn't taken," President Rai said, "Now it has to be submitted for earlier payment."

In the financial year 2081/82, the rural municipality has not allocated the budget. Vice President Khadka said that the budget was not kept after not working. "If it works, arrangements will be made from somewhere, why separate the budget after it doesn't work?," he said.

Jantedhunga is considered famous in this area. According to legend, a janti disappeared during the marriage of Golmaraja-Golmarani and it is called Jante Dhunga because it looks like a janti from a distance. Udhauli fair is held here in Mangsir Purni and Ubhauli fair in Baisakhe Purni.
