"Initially, there was a lot of hope that our land would be turned into a developed land, but nothing will be done or returned," he said Due to the lack of work, they have given up hope for the project. He complains that in the name of land management, the work is only to cause pain to them.

In the year 2068, the government started a new city project at Chaurjahari in Rukum West and Rakam Karnali in Dailekh to develop 10 settlements under Madhyapahari Lokmarg as a new city. Although the project has been started for planned urbanization with all the necessary infrastructure to accommodate 1 lakh population, most of the project programs are stalled due to lack of budget. The

project developed infrastructure such as roads, sewerage, water supply, electricity, waste management and distributed nearly 20,000 solar panels to the locals. ``8 million rupees have come for this year, while even a normal plan cannot be completed here,'' said Shashindra Ghimire, the acting head of Chaurajahari New City Project, 'if such a low budget comes, this project will not be completed even in the next 20 years.' -break According to him, the work of the Ring Road, which has been started in Chaurzahari-1, 2 and 3, is stalled due to lack of budget. He informed that although at least 80 crores are needed for the construction of the ring road, only 5 crores have been spent so far.

Similarly, the work of paving the roads in the market area has also been stopped due to the budget. Acting Chief Ghimire said that not even 1 rupee has been received for the construction of the park.

According to him, most of the lamps have been stolen and the remaining lamps are not lit due to garbage. The project has launched a land development program in Chaurajahari-1 Gharigaon and Tatagaon of Ward No. 3.

The project has constructed a bus park at a cost of Rs 3 crore last year and handed it over to the municipality, and so far 7 kilometers of road paving work has been completed, according to the project.

This year, the project has prepared to open 2 contracts. Preparations have been made to open tenders for Gharigaon land development and landfill side construction. For the landfill side, 30 million worth of work was done in the first phase, and this year, nearly 20 million worth of work will be done.

'Even if the work is done this year, at least 60 million rupees will be insufficient for the landfill side,' acting chief Ghimire said Kamla Pokharel of Chowrzahari-1 said that if the management center is not built, the waste of the market will not be collected even for a month.

Also in Rakam Karnali, due to lack of budget, road blackening, bus park construction, road widening, drain construction, waste management center etc. have been stalled. Although the project of 19 billion 82 million rupees has been moved to develop Athbis Municipality-1, 2, 4 wards into an organized city, only 26 million 28 million rupees has been done so far.

"It's just a national plan, but the small plans of the city have been built," he said. . According to him, 100 ghaderis have been constructed in Bagarkhet, while the DPR has been completed in Serawada and the land owner's Lalpurja and Naxapas documents are being collected. "Due to the compensation dispute in Serawada, the work of the plan was stopped for a long time, now we are working on collecting the documents of the landowner, then the DPR will be done," he said He informed that 13 million rupees have been allocated for the year. He informed that 3 contracts have been opened and approved. According to the project office, the tender of 1 crore 81 lakhs of Handing/Viraj/Vijay JV has been approved for the contract of 3 crores under the settlement development program.
