The Gachche-Bhaluwang road was not built even for two and a half decades

After Deukhuri became the provincial capital, it was seen as important. If the construction of this road is completed, it will be easy for people of Gulmi and Palpa to travel to Deukhuri, the provincial capital, along with Arghakhanchi.

Although the MPs of three districts consider it important, the budget is still low. At present, one has to travel through the East-West Highway through the local Sandhikhark-Gorusinge road route of Arghakhanchi and Tamghas in Gulmi to the provincial capital Aujau. After the Gachche-Bhaluwang construction work is completed, the distance will be shortened by almost half. Sandhikhark-Gorusinge-Bhaluwang distance is 124 km. The distance between Gachche-Bhaluwang near Sandhikhark is 67 km .

This alternative road has become for Gulmi, Palpa and Arghakhanchi to reach the provincial capital. Lumbini state government has allocated two and a half crores of rupees this financial year . Gopi Pun Magar, project head of the Road Infrastructure Development Office, said that a 5.5 km road pitch will be constructed from Gachche. There is gravel up to Gachche-Lamatal. Due to heavy traffic in Todke of Dhanchaur, a lot of money has been spent on paving the road . He said that it will take 1 billion budget to gravel the 47 km road from Gachche-Lamatal.

When the road is completed, the distance from Palpawasi to Kaligandaki corridor via Rampur-Ridi to Sandhikhark to the capital city will be shortened . "Recently, even though the road connecting the provincial capital is called, the budget is low," he said. He said that the budget was not allocated as much as requested.

He said that it was difficult to work due to the difficult geography. He said that even if there is less budget from the state, it will be easier if the union government keeps it in the supply. Pun says that if we work quickly with enough budget, we can make the transportation operational in two-three years .

was originally drawn to connect Bhaluwang from Satmara via Lamatal. Later, saying that the geography is difficult, he said that by building a bridge on the Rapti River, connecting Bangekhal to the main road connecting Pyuthan's headquarter via Maghidmar and reaching Bhaluwang, he said.

The work of building a bridge on the river has not been able to proceed due to lack of budget . The work of widening the road through a complex ravine in Sapre Bhir of Dhanchaur has not yet been completed. The residents of Jaluke, Jukena of Sitganga municipality have to buy goods near Bhaluwang as the district headquarters is far away.

Jun Bahadur Pulami of Lamatal said that the southern region has been neglected since the road was not completed even for 25 years. "When this road is completed, it will be easy to export Khasiboka, chicken, vegetable eggs and fish meat produced by the locals of Jaluke, Jukena, Siddhara and agricultural enterprises will increase," he said. 25 years have passed waiting for that . How many more years do we have to wait?

Ramjiprasad Ghimire, a member of the Lumbini State Assembly elected from this area, said that this road is also important because of the Naumure hydroelectricity, Rapti river, Lamatal picnic spot and the birth place of Patanjali in the Gachche-Bhaluwang road section. "In the previous year, the supplementary and allocated budget of the Union State was 22 million rupees," he said, "This time, the state government has allocated a total of 2.5 million rupees." I also raised the matter in the Parliament as it is a work that overshadows the express way connecting the state capital.

He commented that it is sad that the budget is not allocated for the road that affects three districts. Ghimire said that there is a strong foundation for the remote settlement inside the forest to change its face, the vegetables produced here, Khasibo can easily reach the market and local self-employment.
