Through the Urban Governance Capacity Development Program, 12.5 kilometers of roads within Baglung Municipality have been blacktopped in one year. Three roads in Baglung Municipality-1, 4 and 7 have been completed within one year of the agreement.

Locals who have been suffering for years due to lack of transportation facilities have said that after the road was blacktopped in a single year, travel and transportation of agricultural materials have become easier. 

Baglung Municipality has already conducted a comprehensive team monitoring the final evaluation of the road blacktopped in a short period of time with the assistance of the World Bank. Donor agencies, government teams and the municipality have monitored and provided suggestions for the three roads built last year, connecting Mulpani to Titaure, Odarchaur to Dhodeni and Ganeshghumti to Nirayghat.

Mayor Basanta Kumar Shrestha informed that this road has become standard among the roads built in the city so far. Before the final payment, the monitoring team has suggested that some repair works be completed immediately. Payment will be made only after the work is completed as per this suggestion.

It has been suggested that drainage slabs be completed at one or two places on the currently constructed road. It was found that some link roads remain to be leveled, some sections of the road have collapsed due to landslides and various signs are yet to be used. Mayor Shrestha and Project Director Lila Khatiwada have also suggested that the contractor should pay all the money after completing the work. 

Baglung Municipality has constructed 12.5 km of roads in Ward 7, including 8.5 km from Mulpani to Titaure, 2.5 km from Odarchaur to Dhodeni, and 1.5 km from Ganeshghumti to Nirayghat, through the 'Urban Governance and Infrastructure Development Program'.

This road has been blacktopped and made smooth. Baglung Municipality built the road at a cost of Rs 480 million with the help of a grant from the World Bank. This road has made it easier for rural people to come to the city and market their agricultural products. 'This road has helped us a lot, the municipality has helped the village develop,' said Pooja Sunar, a local of Baglung Municipality-7, 'Now we can even ride a speedboat to the village that used to be dusty.' 

She said that the work was good and that slabs have been placed in the drains in some places. Similarly, they have made demands such as making the roads leading from the main road to the branch roads standard, and opening the paths leading to the fields since they are buried. 

Locals said that since the road is made easy, the approximately 11-km stretch from the district headquarters to Titaure in Ward 7 can be reached in half an hour, so students and employees studying on campus can now commute from home. They have also said that this road has become the easiest way to market milk and vegetables produced by farmers in rural settlements.  

All these three roads are 6 to 8 meters wide. The World Bank has supported 17 municipalities across Nepal in the Urban Governance Reform and Infrastructure Development Program, and work has also been done in Baglung. The monitoring team has also concluded that the work in Waling Municipality and Baglung has been found to be standard so far.
