It took almost seven years to build ministerial residence in Bhainsepati. Three billion is over. The house that had been built after spending so much time and money was burnt down in one day. The outside of the building is billowing with black smoke. Nothing inside is left to burn.

 

This area of ​​Bhainsepati, where the liaison office of the provincial head and the chief minister is located, how much damage was caused by the fire? Can it be reused or not? How long does it take to get back to normal? Its detailed study report has not yet arrived. At a glance, it does not seem that it will be used immediately.

Unexpected carnage took place in the Gen-G movement called on 23 August against corruption. 19 youths were killed in one day when the police opened fire on the protestors who came to surround the Federal Parliament building. The anger started spilling out on the streets from the next morning.

The protestors had already started raising slogans in the minister's residence in Ward No. 18 and 25 of Lalitpur Metropolitan Municipality since morning. The minister's residence, located in the middle of big settlements like Khokna, Bungmati, Sambu, Nakkhu, came under siege in no time. The number of protesters was increasing minute by minute. The slogans got louder. This seemed to infuriate the crowd. Tires started burning at the main gate of the residence.

As the angry crowd grew, more soldiers were deployed for security. Soldiers began to descend from the helicopter. They started taking their positions. But the protesters did not back down. The minister tried to enter by breaking the main gate of the residence. 

Almost all the federal ministers were inside the ministerial residence, which is 6 km from the Singha Darbar. Their families, vehicles and staff were also inside. After the minister and his family were at risk, the army started rescuing them by helicopter from 12:26 pm. The rescue took about half an hour. "We did not leave the minister's residence as the safest. I didn't think we should escape like this," said a federal minister at the time, "that day we were taken to Bhairavanath Gana and kept safe." In the northern part, about three hundred meters, it was surrounded by zinc only. The high wall was not built due to a road dispute with the locals. The locals had pressed to leave the 11-meter road and build a wall. The project had maintained that only 8 meters could be left. The project said, 'If an 11-meter road is needed, the local people should leave their land. Let's keep the center line. From that, both the project and the locals should give up how much land they want to leave.'

The locals did not understand this. There was no solid wall. felt like The protestors fought that. They went inside and burned the minister's car. They entered the room and set it on fire. While watching, a plume of smoke came out from the minister's residence. The sky of Bhainsepati itself was covered with smoke. The fire burned all night. The fire destroyed the facility-equipped building with an area of ​​125 ropani. Only the Defense Minister's residence was spared. 

The ministerial residence was built to reflect Nepali art, culture and tradition. It is also called the Mallakali style. The building was given a traditional style by placing a jingati on the slope of the building. All the architecture was arranged. On the ground floor, a large waiting room, a secret room, a meeting room for 15 people, a private room and a personal secretary's room were prepared. The second floor had a residential, yoga, pooja room. The guest house was on the third floor. 

There is a 3 meter walkway along the outer compound of the building, where the minister and his family members used to take 'morning walks'. 38 Plantation areas have been set aside for open green areas. About 21 ropani land is covered by internal roads within the housing while 11 ropani is earmarked for health club. There is parking for 100 vehicles.

There are 30 buildings within the federal ministerial compound, of which 24 are for federal ministers. Two are the residences of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, and one is the residence of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives. Besides, there are three buildings for security guard, helipad, health club, grocery, community hall, management office, swimming pool, parking and security personnel. 

In another compound, there are 14 well-equipped buildings, including the liaison office with the residence of the state head and the chief minister. The area where the federal minister and state building is located is separated by a public road. 

On 17 November 2075, the Council of Ministers meeting decided to build residences for the Speaker of the National Assembly, Chief Ministers, Chief Ministers and Ministers in Bhainsepati. After 10 months, work started to be seen in the field. The federal government started the construction on 13 October 2076.

Before Bhainsepati, the residence of the ministers was in Harihar Bhavan, Pulchok, Lalitpur. The building built there for 14 ministers in the year 2028 had reached a dilapidated condition. 5 more buildings were built there in 2054. Some of the ministers had to stay outside because they did not get residences. 

The government allocated one billion three crore 46 lakh 83 thousand rupees for the first phase of building ministerial residence of Bhainsepati. Then every year the government budget  The

is separating. So far, to complete all the work, it has exceeded three billion rupees. Due to the covid epidemic, the work was disrupted for some time. This project has not yet been completed. More physical infrastructure is in the process of being built. Rishi Sharma of Surkhet, whose house is next to the minister's residence, says, "I used to think the minister's residence was beautiful. It made Bhainsepati familiar. I wake up every morning to see the burning building. When I see this, my heart is very sad.'
