The then chairman of Kanakasundari Rural Municipality, Narbir Rawat, laid the foundation stone for a 15-bed hospital in Mangsir 2077. The construction of the hospital building under construction in Hatshinja, Kanakasundari-5, has not been completed yet. Locals complain that the hospital building has not been completed and services have not started even after seven years of laying the foundation stone.
22 locals had provided 3,500 square meters of land free of charge for the construction of the hospital building. But the locals are disappointed that the building was not built on time due to the negligence of the construction business.
The contractor company has signed an agreement for the building for Rs 150 million. The agreement states that the building will be constructed within three years. But the work is not being accelerated even after TDR Laxmi Mazdoor Construction Service has received a salary.
Technical assistance for the construction of the hospital building was provided by the Intensive Urban Development and Building Construction Project. Locals complain that the construction of the hospital has been stalled due to the contractor's extreme negligence on one hand and the lack of continuous requests from the rural municipality on the other.
Kanakasundari Rural Municipality Chief Administrative Officer Dipendra Bhandari said that the construction work of the hospital building has now picked up speed. The construction work of the building was stalled. The contractor company itself was not in contact.
Now, after Arjun Singh Kathayat of Jumla took over the work, the construction work has progressed. Initially, the contractor had left the work stalled after taking a salary of Rs 12.8 million. The first running bill of Rs 10.4 million has also been paid. The second running bill of Rs 5.5 million is in the process of being paid. Earlier, the building could not be completed on time due to the contractor's misdeeds and now the work is being done at a fast pace by extending the deadline, the rural municipality has stated.
On Mangsir 21, 2077, Minister of State for Health and Population Nawaraj Rawat laid the foundation stone of a 10-bed hospital building in 3 kudari in Tila Rural Municipality. The agreement was that the building should be completed by Magh 2079. But the hospital has not been built yet.
The hospital was going to be built at a cost of Rs 120 million from the federal government. The building has not been built yet. The municipality has stated that the municipality has had to extend the deadline several times because the government did not send the budget on time. Chairman Motilal Rokaya said that the contract deadline had to be extended twice. According to him, Khani Khadka and Kamal Jit JV Construction Services are working for the construction of the hospital.
The construction of the hospital is in the final stage. Preparations are underway to hand over the building by Asad. Work remains to be done, from attaching windows and doors to painting. According to the federal government's plan to build 5 to 15-bed hospitals in each local level, 42 hospitals were selected for construction in 42 local levels of Karnali. According to the plan at that time, Kanakasundari and Tila rural municipalities of Jumla had started construction of hospital buildings. Now, the residents of these municipalities are forced to go to Khalanga to get treatment even for minor illnesses.
