Under the Rapti Highway, the budget goes several times for the upgrading of the road from Kapurkot to Harneti and the black paper. However, the road has become more dilapidated than being improved.
The problem arose when the road division office Dang could not guide the construction company and the construction company did not work on time. The road is becoming dilapidated due to poor quality work and landslides falling from the road during the rainy season.
After rapti highway was blacked out for the first time in 2071 from 2069, the division office Dang has allocated one and a half crore several times from Kapurkot to Harneti for maintenance. In 2079, about 2 crores were allocated for upgrading, while Lokmani Builders is working with 17 crores allocated last year.
Due to the lack of improvement in the road, it becomes muddy in winter and muddy during the rainy season, so the passengers have to suffer in various ways. In the name of upgrading and black paper, the stones, mud and sand piled up on the side of the road and on the wall are not only narrowing the road but also increasing the risk of accidents. Passengers have also lost their lives due to the accident.
Chandra Bahadur Rana of Chhatreshwari Rural Municipality-6 said that due to the negligence of related bodies, there has been no improvement in the road from Kapurkot Rural Municipality-3 Chorkhola to Tulsipur Sub-Metropolitan City-1 Harneti. He says that it takes more than 45 minutes to travel 10 kilometers by car or motorcycle due to the bad condition of the road.
'Today, people cannot be recognized when riding a motorcycle because the road is dirty. There is a situation of getting sick due to dust," he said, adding that the dust accumulated in potholes has increased the risk of accidents. Due to the tipper running fast on the narrow road, you have to be very careful until you reach Tulsipur.'
The road division has been spending 35 to 40 million every year on Rapti highway asphalting and maintenance, but the road elsewhere is fine, but from Kapurkot to Harneti, it is worse than improving, said Birendra Wali of Bagchaur Municipality.
Chairman of Kapurkot Rural Municipality Durga Bahadur Pun says that the government is not responsible for the black paper and the contractor could not do the work on time using various excuses. He said that instead of removing the landslides during the rainy season, the condition of the road has deteriorated. Due to the weakness of the monitoring body, quality work has not been done. The black papers made in many places have been removed within a few months,' he said, 'Until the concerned body tightens the construction company and stops the tipper carrying more limestone than the capacity, the road will not improve.'
Road Division Office Dang Information Officer Engineer Amir Subedi said that even if the government plans to build the Rapti highway project, it has not yet been built, due to the lack of budget as requested, regular work has not been carried out and due to the tipper, the road section has deteriorated a lot.

'In 2079, a budget of one and a half million was spent on upgrading the four and a half kilometers road from Chorkhola to Ramri. The plan was canceled as the responsible Western Builders could not complete the work on time . 17 crores in 2080, now the work is being done from that budget,' he said, 'out of the 600 crores budget allocated for Rapti Highway this year, 300 crores budget has been allocated to blacken the 10 km road from Chorkhola to Harneti . Since the tender has been done, the construction will start soon.'
